The best laid plans
I was all set to get up on time and actually go to my 8:00 class this morning. Before going to bed at an almost-reasonable time last night (12:45-ish), I set two alarms on my phone and the alarm on my alarm clock, which sits all the way across the room. Six hours of sleep is much less than I need, but I figured I could do it for one day, right?
I assume the first phone alarm rang, though I don’t remember turning it off. When the alarm clock turned on at 6:45, I woke up, grabbed the phone, and grumpily chucked it across the room in the clock’s general direction. My sleepy aim was way high, so it hit the wall, knocking the battery out (ensuring the second phone alarm would never go off), then fell on the lever* that turns off the clock’s alarm.
I woke up again at 10:07 and made it to my *12:00* class just in time.

* It’s this big weird Nickelodeon clock I’ve had for years. The snooze button is enormous, and the on/off lever is likewise comically large and easily smackable. This is why it’s across the room in the first place.
