Yup, I missed class due to an alarm clock mishap...
How unoriginal is that? It's true, but how trite.

My clock in my bedroom was about 20 minutes slow. I got up, walked in the front room and saw the kitchen clock and was like: "eff this eff that, dammit, I'm going to miss class." I could have made it, but it would have required me not taking a shower and that isn't an option. Curses!!!!

1. That sucks
My alarm was f'd up but I noticed last night and sweet talked another DUer into calling me so I didn't miss my driving lesson. It was more of a favor than one would think because I sound like Janis Joplin badly hung over when I first wake up.

2. hahaha
you know, sounding like JJ badly hungover is an oddly sexy thing, though. :)

I always seem to have bad luck with this alarm clock. It just must have it out for me. Bad karma.

3. Mine does too much stuff
I need one that just wakes me up- because I can't handle anything extra when I'm tired. This thing plays CDs stuff and it just makes for added bulk and complication.

11. Once I missed a final
by sleeping right through it. Fortunately, my professor--and this was at a huge university--thought there was something wrong, as I never missed class, found me and let me take the test as soon as I got my butt over to his office.

12. Right. Next time you'll be saying your dog ate your homework.
Which actually happened to me.
