An old saying says, people are born with sins. In other words, mistakes are inevitable in our daily life. Even though we don’t recognize our mistakes at first, later we might regret the decisions we have made before. There is always one thing that I keep regretting, which is drowsiness, the ability of staying in bed permanently. I always remind myself by an anecdote I have done before.
At that time, I was a 13 years old, eighth-grade, normal middle school student, and it was the first day of our new semester. I was lying on the couch, watching my favourite TV show, sharing our excitement for the brand new year. Dad came into the living room and asked: “Did you get your school stuff ready?” “Of course” I responded, watching the TV without hesitation. “Ok, don’t stay up too late” words dissipated with the sound of shutting the door. Then, I kept indulging into the TV show. It was a normal talk show, normal presenter, normal advertisements, old topics. The topic was dull, which debates that whether students should spend time in social media. Of course it was about reminding students because it was the regular school season. However, the guests are hilarious, they are the Xiangsheng comedians. Xiangsheng is a traditional comic performance involving one, two or more performers who engage in rapid, bantering talk, imitation, song and satire. Usually there are two performers, one who makes the jokes, and the other who acts as a foil in order to heighten the comic effect. Their stories about their school lives really attracted me. Therefore, without noticing the tik tok, the show ended and the clock pointed to 11. Quickly brushing my teeth and confirming the school stuffs, I went to bed.
That night, I dreamed that I was the main protagonist of comedians’ story. I was enjoying the life they have depicted, really relaxed. But suddenly, a girl screamed because she attacked by a hornet. The scream woke me up, and I realized that was the alarm of my pikachu. It was 6:30 in the morning. Turning off the pikachu screaming, I lied back to my cozy bed. Without a second, I came back to the amusement park. The girl was still crying, but all of us comforted her. After bandaging the wounds, she joined the party again. Suddenly, a solemn rang in my ear, “Why were you still here.” Instantly, I woke up. A grave face appearing in my sight, I was in a cold sweat when I realized that was my father’s voice. I checked the time instantly, 8:30, an hour later than the first class of the school, at the first day. What a shame!
That day, while I walking into the class at 9, I could feel the teasing gazes from the class, which includes the teacher. During the first month, my classmates always amused me at the tardy for the first day. Through this awkward accident, I realized drowsiness is a really bad habit. It not only disturbs our planning schedule, but also brings you unpredictable embarrassment. From then on, as soon as my alarm goes off, I will immediately get rid of my cozy quilt and wake myself up. I have to commit, getting up on time really help you to schedule your daily life and prepare you for your day. Therefore, the importance of time management really strikes into my heart.
Though I must commit another thing, staying in the cozy bed is the coziest event ever.
