I'm usually late to my Italian class which, as you can see above, starts at 9:30. Most of the time it's because I sleep in and have to take a later bus that gets me on campus at 9:30 on the dot, but I still have to walk to the building where I have class and that takes about two minutes going across the street and my class is on the second floor so that's another one or two minutes.Today was different though. Sometimes I'm a really heavy sleeper, sometimes I'm not... and I guess this was one of the times.
I woke up to a sort of popping sound and I'm like, "what?". I looked at my alarm clock and saw that it was completely off. Well, at this time I'm like, "Dang, the power went out...". So, I literally rolled out of bed, looked for my rubber rocketdog flip flops --- but couldn't find them --- and walked down to the garage to check the circuit breaker and switch things on and off... there was no difference. I could only wait. Once I walked upstairs again, I tried to go back to bed, but I couldn't after being woken up already.
Anyway, I took a shower in the dark since the power was still off and didn't come back on until 8:00... nearly 40 minutes later. I hate not having light and it gave me at least for forty minutes that I often take electricity for granted. This was a common thing in Santo Domingo where my mom's from and we went there once, but I guess I was just too little to care.
So, what does this have to do with Italian class? Nothing... sort of. By the power going out early this morning, I was forced to wake up early thus having enough time to get ready to take the 8:50 bus that would get me to class BEFORE 9:30. That's all, really. I just thought it's be better starting with the 'why' instead of going like, "I woke up early, which sucked, and got to class on time. The End!"
