7:00 or 7:10?

So when I first decided college was the choice for me, I thought, "Oh I'll just scoot around on my longboard from class to class, no big deal." Next thing i know, I'm here at BYU with my longboard locked up tight so that I'll have no desire to risk the $50 fine associated with the criminal activity of rolling on a board hooked to four wheels. Go figure.

So basically, I have English 150 at 8:00 in the blazing morning on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I grudgingly wake up at 7:00 on these mornings, after 5-6 hours of sleep, so that I can leave by 7:45 to get to my class on time. Usually it's the kind of leaving where you leave your cell phone on your bed, your assignment in the printer, and your breakfast in the fridge, just to make it out the door by 7:45. Most of the time I can at least get both shoes tied. Sometimes I can't. For that reason I have wisely invested $10 in some velcro shoes from Wal-Mart.

I think at times we all find ourselves wishing for just a couple more minutes. I could use about ten more minutes every morning. I could easily solve this problem with a three foot piece of wood...my longboard. The thing I dislike the most about BYU is the restriction they put on skateboards or longboards on campus. I could wake up at 7:10! Obviously I can ride faster than I can walk, and with my expert weaving skills I could easily make it to class in five minutes. All my problems would be solved if I could only get to class the fast way. Well...not all my problems, but this small transportation problem.
