I’m having trouble getting out of bed at the moment. This morning I thought I had a fail-proof plan. I set my stereo to start playing a rousing CD. Then, I set the alarm clock my mum got from her te reo course to go off five minutes later – it says “ata maarie” repeatedly. I put it in a corner of my room far away from my bed so I couldn’t just roll over and push the button to turn it off. Finally I set my cell-phone to go off ten minutes after the clock, and put it in another corner of the room.
I woke up with the sun streaming through my window. The clock was lying on the floor; the batteries had been taken out and flung across the room. My cell-phone was cradled under my pillow – switched off. And my stereo was still playing at full volume.
I don’t understand what happened?
