The alarm clock rang like the birth of the universe, blowing the dreams I was having into oblivion. Wiping off the ants that had crawled over me in the night, I wake up my brother for work. I head outside to take out the ten pounds of trash created the night before, getting simultaneously eaten alive by mosquitoes and drenched with sweat from humidity.
I try to make some breakfast, so I check the cereal cabinet. Due to limited food(related to the trash made last night), I eat unflavored bran flakes with no milk. I then figure I had missed my bus, so I run the mile and a half to my college campus in said humidity and mosquitoes. Showing was not in my time schedule.
Once classes are done, I find that the metro rail system has major delays and I would get home faster walking, which I do. In the middle of the day. Mosquitoes are gone, but the path home is under a lot of thin underbrush and spider webs are everywhere. Once home I put my things away and start to saw on the wood in the back yard, because that project needed to be done a week ago. An hour later, I finally get my first drink. It's old, room-temperature milk. Why I didn't see it that morning I do not know.
Somehow a groundhog was attracted by my activities and wandered to my worksite. As I began sawing again, the creature must have been frightened and engaged the Flight or Fight response. It choose to fight. Now with jeans with one legging slightly bloodied and torn and an appointment with a doctor the next day to check for any animal diseases, I head downstairs. I tried to check on you guys, but the pump started to act up. Seems to be pumping water back in as opposed to out. So I had to turn the pump off and carry bucket after bucket water out of the sump well, because water left there would saturate the soil so the next rains would cause floods.
Finally, I had to buy some books my professors told me about now as opposed to a week ago, which added up to 400$. I consider myself lucky to get them that cheap. I have dinner with my family, collapse in a heap, and fell asleep.
Then my brother reminds me I have to study. So I get up, open my books and read/do the first section in all of them.
Then I fall asleep.
Now you know how yesterday went, with no real exaggerations. At least, no more than what Aqizzar did.
And this is done an hour before my bus leaves, and I don't want that day repeated.
