good intentions

Should I call it failure, neglegance, or grace? The past two mornings I've been a victim of good intentions gone awry: my alarm was all set, ready to go, but something went wrong. I sleep past 7:00, past 8:00, when the sleeping is rich and the dreams get more vivid. It must be around 8:30 I get an inclination that I'm too rested. I open my eyes; the light behind the blinds is a little too brights; the voices in the hallway are too busy. Craning, then, to peer at the clock, I find it's 9:00.
I know I set my alarm, I think, rehearsing the memory of the night before. But good intentions aren't enough. Stepping out of bed, I feel a mixture of regret and luck.

i really hate when that happens. i also have a habit of hitting the snooze on those intentions, but i feel worse on the days when I really would have gotten up! I hope all is going well in school!
