School so far..

I attend the University of Southern Mississippi, and August 20, was my first day of USM life. For most people, the first day of college is exciting, and they feel all grown up. As for my first day, it was not anything close to either feeling. In fact, I felt like a complete fool for not attending a tiny community college close to home.
My first day I had to attend my Biology class at 11 o'clock. I had already been told that parking was outrageous at USM, so I cleverly planned ahead. I left my apartment at 10:30. I arrived at the campus at 10:37, and it hit me so hard. I figured out that everyone else who had an 11 o'clock class also decided to leave thirty minutes early. Every single space towards the front of campus was jammed packed. I drove around for fifteen minutes. Then at this time I pulled out of the grown-up "front" I put on.
I broke down in tears and dialed mommy's cell. Of course since I am the baby of the family, mommy calmed me down and helped me out. She led me a parking lot at the very --and I do mean VERY VERY VERY-- back of campus. The time was now 10:57. I had three minutes to get from the back of campus all the way to the front. Don't get me wrong, I love a challenge but not an impossible one. In my very cheap Forever21 flip flops, I took off in a sprint. (F.Y.I. everyone was definitely staring). I could feel the thong of the flip flop rubbing my poor toes to blisters. It stung like peeling out on my toes and pouring peroxide on top would feel. I arrived at my Biology class at 11:13.
Late on the first day of school for my first class. I am just so amazing like that. Of course, I walk in and the teacher just stares at me. Which she was probably thinking "oh great another slacker and I can soon torture with my long lecture on attendance". Which she was definitely wrong. I am far from a slacker; I just have the worst luck on the face of this earth! Go DANI!!! Luckily, I wasn't the last to arrive at class. So whoever that poor little sad loser was... THANK YOU for showing that you are a slacker and could not arrive to class no sooner than 11:15!!!! I know that is a little mean, but it was the first day of school. Of course, I was going to root for some one to screw up more than I had! I sat through that Biology class like I was so unstoppable that is in the sense that I couldn't stop fidgeting for anything. Class is finally over, and I start my long journey back to my vehicle. Get in. Drive off. Get home. Go to bed.
Yes it was still in the afternoon, but I had just went through the worst two hours of my life. It is now August 26, and thankfully it's been okay. Hopefully, it will still at least okay.
