My First Day

My first day of college was a disaster. First, I went to the wrong classroom for statistic. Then I was
sitting in the class, surrounded by people taking notes and paying attention to how to do equations,
which would have been okay if I was supposed to be in an math. Meanwhile reality, I was supposed to
be in geometry, finally I realize discovered my error, I had already missed the first twenty minutes of a
one-hour class. When I got to the correct class, all twenty-five suddenly students looked at me as the
lecturer said, "You're late." That would have been bad enough and after that in my next class my
history lecturer spoke so fast I could not follow most of what they said. The only thing I did hear was
that we were having soon a quiz tomorrow over today’s lecture. Next my day seemed to be going
better during botany class, that is, until we visited the lab. I had a sneezing fit because of one of the
plants in the lab and had to leave the room. When I finally finished my classes for the day, I discovered
I had locked my keys in the car and had to wait for my brother to bring another set. My first day of
lecture studying was so bad that I know the rest will have to be better.

-Good Luck-
