At least I'm not Tonya Burgoyne!

OK, Tonya was this lady in our Liberty ward that would forget her bra. Not an easy thing because she's no size A if ya know what I mean! Of course you do...that's not code at all! Anyway, I have been so busy with finals lately. I had one on Thursday which was wonderful! I got a 96! Then today I had 3! Killer huh!? So, I had Sociology at 7:30 then Human Development sometime, and Comparative Cultures sometime. I studied my brains out for my Sociology test because it's my major so it's interesting information and I really wanted to do well on this test. The others I wasn't as nervous for so I didn't put as much effort into those. I went to bed just before midnight and set my alarm which is my cell phone for 5:50am. I wanted to have a calm non rushed morning. I wanted to get a good breakfast and also go over some of the material. Well, my phone has been acting a little odd lately so I should have thought to set some sort of backup alarm but I didn't. This morning I woke up to my roommate in the bathroom. I was so confused on why she was up so dang early. When I was coherent enough I realized that it was lighter outside than it should be at 5:50. I checked my phone only to find out that it was COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE IT WAS PLUGGED IN!!! I ran to the kitchen to see the time and it was 7:20. I yelled to Angela to see if she'd run me to class. She said yes and I ran into my room to get dressed. I threw on some pants, took off my shirt to put a bra on then I just put my coat on completely forgetting to put my shirt back on. I grabbed my pencil, glasses, a hat and was ready to go. For tests we have to buy scantrons which is just a bubble sheet paper thing. I didn't have one because I was planning on getting one from the bookstore before class. Luckily my other roommate Jana had an extra one she let me have. Angela and I ran out to the car and scraped the windows like mad women. Pretty sure we were scrapping so fast it was melting automatically! OK, I only wish. We get in the car and IT'S FROSTED ON THE INSIDE!! we scraped that a bit and drove to campus. She dropped me off and I sprinted to class like they do in the Olympics. I get to the classroom to find out that Professor Petrzelka had no more tests, luckily the TA had one more. I sat down take my coat off and start my test when I realized I felt a little funny. I looked down AND I HAD NO SHIRT ON!!! I let out a little squeal and started my test. I was sweating all through the test, not only because her questions were misleading and frustrating, but because I had my winter coat on!! I finish the test and realize I didn't bring my planner which had the times and the room numbers of my other finals. I had no phone to call my roommates and even if I did, I don't know their phone numbers. That is one downside to cell phones. I sprinted down the long icy hill home to grab my planner because I had about 20 minutes before I would have needed to be back up to my next final. I got home, checked my planner and thank goodness I was confused on the times because my next final wasn't until 11:30. So much for my non rushed morning! After I got properly dressed, I ate a bit of a pancake and started studying for the remaining two tests and this is how far I got.

  1. Julia - Boolia,
    I'm sorry but that is really funny. I think we've all had a day like that. I've done the bra thing but the shirt that is new. I always used to dream that I completely forgot a final. That was the worst because I'd come home in a panic and not be able to sleep good the whole week because I thought I'd missed a final. Whew I'm glad that I'm done with that for now!! Just think that by Saturday you'll be done! Woohoo!

  2. So now it's Sunday and we can all enjoy Julia's hectic, hard day. Is this a story you'll relate to posterity to let them know that time were tough in the olden days when cell phones weren't reliable when they HAD to be? Julia, I'm so sorry I bugged you so bad Saturday. Please forgive me! I want to do better. I will reallly try to be the good mom I should be. I love you....
