I’m not ready, got to hurry! Omigod, 1 hardly made it to school on time. My alarm nev- er went off so I had to rush to catch the bus. I hardly had time to take a shower and get dressed. 1 grabbed a doughnut on my way to the bus stop, but I never got to eat it because it fell into the sewer. I hope I pass my math test today. I really stud- ied hard for it. That's proba- bly why I forgot to set my alarm. Hey listen, can you meet me at lunch and help me finish that English paper? I need a few words to fill in. You know how 1 am with words. I also need to talk to you about Bob. We're going out tonight but I think he's mad. Oh darn! 1 forgot I had crew practice to- day. Geez 1 also forgot to bring clean sweats. Oh well. I'll suf- fer I guess ... Whew. That was a hard practice. I'm beat. Oh no! Mom, where is my new blouse? What? It shrunk? Oh, I'll have to go get another one, because I have absolutely noth- ing else to wear tonight. I wonder where he's taking me before the movie. Winston's I hope. I hear Jack's having a party, maybe we'll go there afterwards. I wish I could get rid of that zit. It's so red. What time does the store close? Geez, I hope I look alright. This blouse really is not as pret- ty as the other. I hope my hair doesn't stick out. I curled it as well as I could. Oooh! Here he is. Where's the Binaca? Wow! What a night! O.K. alarm, I'm setting you for 8 am. so I can get to work on time. It's Saturday! Those college ap- plications need to be done. There's always Sunday. Geez! Will I survive college life if high school is like this? Let's hope. Yawn, zzzzzzzzzz Getting Ready 25
