These are the things that made you show up seriously late for your very important, 9 am FCE class:
1.Your last class last night ended at nine. You came home very late - at sometime around 10 or 10:30.independent
2.You've been staying up late all night long - until sleep finally took over your conscience at sometime around two. Why? You were waiting until everyone in the house fell asleep. You've been needing more quiet time and solitude these days, just to get yourself concentrate on work. Having six people at home is not that easy. Sometimes, it just takes up your personal space. It can drive you crazy too, especially if it gets too much and you've been a private person for most of your life. But hey, "CSI:NY" was on. (Naughty.*big evil grin*) So your attention was divided in between work and catching up with their latest (fictional) case on screen. Haha. No wonder, no surprise with the counter-productivity.:P
3.You woke up late. (Once again, no wonder and no surprise. Hehe.*big evil grin*) You've done everything as quick as possible that morning. In order to save what was left of your salary (well, at least before another pay-day :P), you decided to hop on a ride from somebody at home. It's actually okay, as long as you're not with the kind of people who hardly mind being "fashionably late" (until now, you still don't understand what it really means :-S or maybe you're just being a cynic). Otherwise, it's a big mistake!:|
4.In Jakarta, there's always this huge, hellish bitch on the street called: The Horrible Traffic!:x This morning, you had to deal with it. Welcome to the big, city real life. The only thing you should've done from the very beginning was actually...well, I think you could already tell from this partly silly-sounding list.:P
5.As soon as you reached your stop, you quickly got off the car and hailed a cab nearby instead. Worst of all, as you got in, you tripped over the pavement - a your right arm bumped against the hood. And you thought that it was going to leave a big, blue mark (a.k.a the swelling) right there.
*rolls up sleeve*
Yep, it's right there. The bruise.
6.In the end, you showed up half an hour late with two things you most acknowledged about yourself that session: hungry and embarrassed - especially since it was already your third time being late.*blushes*
Next time, no more excuses.
