Diary
This morning, my roommate and I were getting up late. Owing to the lesson is a optional course, two other roommates slept deeply who did not elect the lesson. When I woke, but nobody got up, I thought is it the weekend? Jesus! There was only ten miuntes before class when I looked at my watch. I immediately roused my roommate who elect the lesson as same as me. Fortunately, the professor did not call the roll, although we were late for fifteen miuntes.
