My Thursday's diary was terrible. Everything went wrong from the moment I woke up. I forgot to set the alarm clock, so I overslept. I almost missed the school bus. It was there as I came around the corner and I had to run for it. I tripped over my shoelace and I fell over straight into a puddle. My clothes got all wet and muddy. That wasn't all. I only discovered I forgot my maths copybook home when the teacher asked about it. He asked me to stand the whole period. I wish I had set my alarm clock.
