My Day

I had a terrible day yesterday. First,
I woke up an hour late because my
alarm clock didn't go off. Then, I was
in such a hurry that I burned my hand
when I was making breakfast. After
breakfast, I  got dressed so quickly that
I forgot to wear socks.
Next, I ran out of the house trying
to get the 9:30 bus, but of course I
missed it. I wanted to take a taxi, but I
didn't have enough money.
Finally, I walked the three miles to
my school only to discover that it was
Sunday! I hope I never have a day as
the one I had yesterday.
