Today was the worst day of my life. I am glad it is over. First, I forgot to set my clock, and that caused me to get up late. I was late for school. I got a tardy slip and that made me angry. I knew it was going to be the worst day of my life. When I got to my first class, Science, I didn't have my book. That made me furious, because I spent all night doing my science homework. I found that it was in my book. Next, when I finished with all my core classes, I got a check on my step sheet for accidentally tripping someone. I tried to explain, but the teacher just wouldn't listen. I was so mad at that time, I was ready to go home.

When I got to lunch, I dropped my food on the dusty floor. I was really mad because I hadn't eaten all day, and I was starving. After lunch, I went to band. My instrument wouldn't play a note. I got a zero for the day in band. I was ready to just die now. After band, I went to gym without my gym suit. It was in my locker, and I couldn't go back to my locker. In computer class my computer blew out.

When I got home from school, my mom got mad at me for tracking mud on our brand new carpet. I felt like a dummy for not taking off my shoes before I came in. Next, I went to lie down on the couch. Once I lay down on it, one of the legs broke. Afterwards, I went to go cook a pizza and left it in the oven way too long. It came out pitch black and the kitchen smelled awful. I didn't have any dinner at all. I almost starved to death. When my long day was just about over, I went to go to sleep, but I remembered I had homework to do. That was the worst day of my life!
