Sunday night i got to bed fairly late, trying to enjoy as much weekend as possible or whatever, and so i knew i was going to be really tired the next morning but hey, it was worth it. (no it wasnt)
i set my alarm on my watch for 5am, which as you know i have to be up by, and i went to bed dreading the wakeup call... i did also notice that someone seemed to have left the room during the night and not come back (Beau as it turns out) but anyway...
at 4.40am Beaus alarm clock goes off... it was set onto the radio but it was super duper loud! i tried to ignore it, hoping it would turn itself off, or at least that someone else would turn it off. it got to the point though that i had to get up and turn it off... so i stumbled (more like rolled) out of bed, staggered across the room and clicked the button on top of the alarm. i then went back to bed hoing for a bit more sleep before 5. then, at 4.42 it went off again! nevertheless i tried to ignore it again... which also didnt work, so i got out of bed, seriously annoyed, and pressed a second button on the clock. then went and literally collapsed into bed. and THEN at 4.45 it went off a third time! seriously angry i jumped up, ran over, felt around for the plug, and triumphantly flourished the pulled out clock and felt deep satisfaction in seeing the lights go off on it! but it turns out that the clock has nine lives because at 4.46 it started beeping!! really loudly!!! i couldnt believe it! i yelled out "WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!" lol. im pretty sure josh laughed. he didnt come help me though i noticed. i then tossed the covers, stomped to the clock , yanked it in the air, pressed every button i could find, and then buried it under all of Beaus clothing lol. "at last!" i thought. im sure you already guessed that it went off again... at 4.47 or something. i gave up at this point. i was like "fine! im getting up!" and went over, turned on the light (blinding myself in the process) and uncovered my arch nemisis - the clock. i then found an on/off switch hidden on the back, which i flipped, and wasnt troubled again.
i had a shower then and came out into the common room. when i saw all the people with the heads bowed in a circle i loudly exclaimed "Beaus alarm clock went off SIX TIMES!" Millie then said softly "Mark. we are praying at the moment..." i didnt really register and said again "SIX TIMES!!!" lol. i then left the room, realising that i was interupting lol.
needless to say all my fellow students found my clock escapades highly amusing over breakfast.
i found out that Beau had left the room that night to sleep in the lecture room. he couldnt sleep and knew he would toss and turn. so out of consideration for me, who had told him im not used to having roommates tossing and turning in my room, he left to sleep elsewhere. he also admitted to setting the alarm early because he thought we were going for a run in the morning.... how wrong he was lol
and thats the account of my Nemisis. i hope i have your sympathy :)
