Yesterday was a really difficult day for me. I overslept because I had forgotten to set the alarm clock.
As soon as I got up and realized that I was late, I got dressed quickly and left home in a hurry, without
having breakfast. I got a cup of coffee to have while walking to work, but I spilt it on my shirt. Therefore,
I had to run back home to change it. I had already wasted a lot of time.
As I arrived at work late, my manager was angry. I apologized for being late and started working. Then,
I went to a restaurant for lunch with my colleagues. In the afternoon, I couldn’t finish my reports, so
I had to leave the office late. Because I left late, I missed the last bus to my neighborhood, so I had to
call a taxi. Just as I was getting out of the taxi, I noticed that I had forgotten my wallet in the office. I
called one of my neighbors and asked to pay for me. Luckily, he came and paid for me. I thanked him
as he did not turn me down. I suffered all these mishaps just because I had forgotten to set the alarm
clock. Ever since that day, setting the alarm clock before going to bed has been one of my priorities
in everyday life.
