OH NO MY CAR'S BEEN TOWED AGAIN
How
many times has this
happened
to you.
It's been
a
horrible
day.
Somehow you managed to get out of bed and get to school. You didn't want to of course but there's that exam that you stayed up studying for all night so you decide that you might as well take it. The shower's cold so it took you longer than usual so you're late for your first class. So late in fact, that tiiere was only ten minutes left to go when you got there. That was the good part.
