Personal Narrative: Josh Should Never Get Up

Josh should never have gotten up yesterday. He knew it was going to be a bad day when he knocked over a glass of water on his nightstand while turning off the alarm. As he stumbled from bed to get a mop he knocked over the trash can in his bedroom. Once the mess was cleaned up, he was thoroughly awake. He went to the kitchen to brew himself a cup of Maxwell house coffee only to discover that the can was empty. Grumbling he went to the front door to retrieve his favorite newspaper, New York Times he was not surprised to find that it was not there. Thanks a lot, paperboy, Josh said to himself. He returned to the kitchen drank a glass of juice, grabbed his books, and hurried down to the bus stop. Since no one was there, he realized
that he had missed his bus. As he waited twenty minutes for the next bus, he said aloud “this day just could not get any worse”. It did though; When Josh arrived at the door of Professor Martin’s classroom, he realized that he had forgotten to pack his term paper in his backpack. Professor Martins policy on late work, was famous no late work would be accepted; Josh was sunk.
