this morning was interesting, to say the very least.
i was babysitting my parents’ next door neighbors’ kids last night. they had long been asleep, so i was watching TV and texting some friends. our texting “match” ended just before the parents got home (or so i thought). i got home, checked my e-mail a bit, and got in bed at about 11:45. i went to sleep at about 12:30, expecting to get up at 6:30 (this semester, i don’t have the luxury of having a handicap parking pass, so i have to fight everyone else for the open parking spots. i have decided to leave my apartment every tuesday and thursday at 7 in order to get a spot and have time to practice. or write blog entries).
i was sound asleep and my phone started making a noise that sounded just like my alarm. so i opened my eyes, turned it off, dismissed it (so it wouldn’t bother me again), and got up. as i was doing that, i noticed that i had a new text from one of my friends whom i had been texting with last night, and it had a time stamp of 11:47. i didn’t think much of it.
i did all my usual morning things – brush teeth, shower, get dressed, etc. and was all ready to go. i opened my door and took my phone out of my jeans pocket to see how much time i had left before i had to leave. the clock on my phone said 2:15. i didn’t believe it. after all, my alarm had gone off, and i thought i had even put it on snooze, therefore having it go off again. i turned on my TV to check the time on it, and sure enough, it was 2:15. i grumbled and then went back to sleep (of course putting my PJ’s back on).
i realized when i got to school that apparently my alarm sound and my text message sound are the same, which is why i thought my alarm had gone off when the text came in (the network was apparently having difficulties, since it didn’t get the text to me until almost 3 hours after my friend sent it). i will be changing my text sound so this doesn’t happen again. the funniest thing about this whole thing (at least in my opinion) is that i was more awake when my “alarm” went off at 2:15 than when it did at 6:30. i pretty much hopped out of bed the first time, and wanted to go back to sleep the second. strange.
