How I prepare for lectures

This is how yours truly prepares for those abominable early lectures. Say the lecture is at 7:30 am, this is what happens:

5:00 am : I wake up because the alarm is just too irritating, stare outside for half a minute and since the sun isn’t up its obviously too early in the day to do anything so I close my eyes for a few seconds more and contemplate on the pros and cons of getting out of bed at this hour and how it will affect my day.

5:30 am: I roll over and continue my sleep, though there’s an annoying voice in my head telling me something about lectures and being late again.

6:00 am: I open my eyes realizing the sun is out and that my contemplations ended in a part 2 of my sleep (at this point I’m like “it’s God’s will, He saw this coming and He didn’t stop me, therefore my extra sleep was a divine appointment”) I usually turn on my laptop and make a lot of noise with my early morning worship then progress to kpop because it makes me feel amazing and I refuse to be awake alone so the floor has to wake up.

6:20 am: done with my quiet time, then I do the necessary bathing, and staring at myself in the mirror wondering where that mountain on my face came from and whether to pop it or not (don’t say eww, we all do it)

6:45 am: at this point I’m freaking out because I haven’t made up my mind on what to wear and my War Paint (that’s what the women in my family call make up) isn’t on, plus I’m debating whether to change my playlist or stick with Girls Day and Girls Generation for another day.

7:15: at last, got my make up on after nearly poking my eyes out with my liner, and finally settled on gloss because lipstick is only for days I’m super prepared for class so I can answer any question the lecturer tosses at me (I wonder why they think girls with lipstick are airheads who don’t pay attention and need to be called upon every moment), finally decide on jeans and one of my graphic T-shirts.

7:25: i stroll out of my room praying the lecturer will be late, or it will rain or big foot will be found in the lecture hall so lectures will be cancelled, or even rapture , making promises to God on the way that next time I will be a true P31 woman ( proverbs 31) and be up before the sun if I’m not too late for the lecture (we both know it will happen again but God is cool that way)
