(1) This week had been a shipwreck! (2) Monday greeted with a slap on the face as my alarm clock screamed at me to get up. (3) I woke up feeling as ragged as a old pair of holey shoes. (4) I got on my bus feeling like I'd stepped through Platform 9 3/4 into a Hogwarts experience. (5) First of all, math landed an uppercut with a Job-sized problem that had no solution. (6) My mathematician teacher assured me that if I just used my head as something besides a hat rack, I'd find the answer. (7) Then I trudged to English feeling like something the cat dragged, and my friend Paige (8) accidentally gave me a glue stick instead of chapstick. I'm still not talking to her. (9) Although it took forever and a day to get here, Friday finally showed up with her famously fat smile on her face.
