Personal Narrative: Waking Up

Improved Essays
I evoke waking up every 5 minutes checking my blue IPod to see the time. Every time I woke up I would look outside my gelid, frosted window and see the sky darken to a faint violent. As the sky lightens, I would awaken even more. Just as the clock hit 7:30 A.M. sharp my alarm went off, “beep, beep, beep” desiring that I had gotten more sleep. I had opened my eyes like I had 50 cups of coffee, and jumping out of bed like a deer running from its predator. Getting up so fast got me really light-headed, remembering the the last time I felt like this was when I was blowing up balloons for my brother’s birthday party. When I sat up of my squeaky bed, I went to my parent’s room to wake my mom up. I thought to wake her up because she was very tired …show more content…
Who would’ve knew at 8:00 A.M. it would be this busy. I was panicking and terrified thinking we would late. I got to admit I was yelling a bit. About 15-20 minutes we finally arrived and was not late. It seemed like 20 pounds was released of my shoulders. In the parking lot with our Toyota Tundra we were trying to find a parking lot there wasn’t even 1 single one. It was like we were stranded in a desert with another family and there is one more water bottle. Until we turned a corner, and saw one of our young Sensei’s father, also a friend saved us a front row parking spot. My mom was happy, I wasn’t. The reason for that is because, I already had enough pressure from my family and now him, and especially that his son is a black belt he is expecting a lot from me. When my mom had parked between the 2 faded, yellow parking lines, I had taken my time to take a deep breath in and out before I got out because, I know the minute I walk out of that car, the game was on! So before I got out of that clustered, squishy car I took in a deep breath and out, and went out of the car rushing before anyone will notice I stayed behind for a bit. When we had opened the door you could feel the difference of the unpleasant, frost, cold weaken away as the clammy moisture hits your face as soon as you step foot in the building. It felt like when you were a child in the swimming pool jumping in the hot tub and running to the cold water. I finally had a chance to take a long blink remembering where I am and what for. That is when I kind of felt more confidence in my self. Until, we saw one of our close family members, and not only that one of my mom’s best friend from ever since elementary school that is when my confidence went down a lot, I finally got over the fact that the other guy was there but now her, that is when I didn’t know what to do. So my moms friend and my mother started to catch up on things and I had a few minutes to spare so I decided I
