That’s Incredible Crowded halls, ranch steaks, boring lectures lead to bad day (Tie alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. It was in incredibly loud start to an incredibly gruesome day. Though my eyelids were crusted together and I suffered from tired blood, I managed to shove my bulging thighs into my jeans, wolf down a bowl of Wheaties, (the breakfast of the champions), and make it to school. After fighting through the incredibly crowded halls, I plopped down in my first hour desk and prepared for class. My teacher began to talk. And talk. And talk. And talk. He didn’t take a breath for 60 minutes. 60 long minutes. Finally the bell rang. That’s incredible. Second and third hour dragged by, and incredibly, lunch time came. I stood in the incredibly long line, paid for my lunch, and sat down with my ranch steak. At that point I realized that they really expected me to eat the item. That’s incredible. I walked to my locker for my supplies for the afternoon. An incredibly large, heavy pile of books slid from my locker and knocked me in the forehead. During fourth hour I sewed the sleeve of my sewing project on backwards and pierced my index finger with a safety pin. Fifth hour offered an incredibly hard test (that naturally, I had forgotten to study for). Sixth hour, what can go wrong when you ' re an aide? Plenty, if you’e inept at punching telephone buttons. But all good things must come to an end, and finally the end of an incredibly bad day dragged to end. Now THAT’S incredible. Between school and work staying awake proves to be a very difficult chore as senior Jim Schaller catches a few winks during an incredibly boring lecture. 30
