1. First Day Of Class

I am so happy my first class did not start until noon.  While my roommate and suite mates are hurriedly getting ready for their eight o'clock classes, I lay fast asleep in my warm bed.  Around ten I decide to wake up and take a shower-first impressions are the most important.  As I wake up and put in my contacts, I find that the water is not working.  I figure that they are trying to fix something and the water will soon be running again.

Thirty minutes pass and still no water.  I begin to worry, so I call my mom and ask her what I should do. Her advice is to use the bottled water I bought the night before to wash my hair in the sink.  At least half of me will be clean.  As I begin to get everything ready to wash my hair in the sink, I decide to pray.  I ask God to please turn the water back on just for a couple of minutes, so I can at least wash my hair.  I even inform Him I will happily take a cold shower.  As I put my head over the sin, I decide to try the water one last time.

I hold my breath, slowly turn the knob, and a miracle happens.  The water is flowing.  I jump in the shower only to find that the hot water is not working, but I do not care.  God answered my prayer and I was going to my first class clean.

I sure wish my classes didn't start 'til noon, but then again I do enjoy being through early in the afternoon. I never take morning showers. Night showers are good enough for me. I'm glad that the water finally worked and that you were able to make a good first impression your first day of class by being clean. Thank goodness for miracles. Just goes to show what a wonderful God we serve. Many happy (and warm) morning showers!!! (You know if you took a night shower you'd get to sleep a little later in the mornings. Then again, i guess that's the way some people wake up in the morning.) See you in English class Tuesday!!!
