class

It is (link:"September 16th, 2024")[your 21st birthday is in 2 days]. The time is currently 4 am, what do you choose to do? [[keep sleeping]] [[wake up]]

You already had to get up early today for swim practice, but your body (link: "gave you an hour headstart")[and pissed you off]. Congratulations! You [[go back to sleep]] until your alarm wakes you up shortly after.

You did not do this this morning. (display: "start")

The time is currently 5 am, what do you choose to do? [[get up]] [[hit the snooze]]

You did not do this this morning (display: "go back to sleep")

The time is currently 5:15 am, what do choose to do? [[actually get up]] [[5 more minutes]]

You did not do this this morning (display: "hit the snooze")

Your attempt at peace was wasted. The time is currently 5:28 am, what do you choose to do? [[up and attem]] [[BUT THE BLANKETS ARE SO WARM]]

The time is currently 5:30 am. You heave yourself out of bed and feel all your bones experience vertical gravity for the first time today. Your muscles echo a draining fatigue, and your head feels like its filled with candle wax. You're unsure of how you'll feel throughout the day, but right now you feel okay enough to practice. Time to [[get er done]].

I know I know, but you have to get up now. And you do. (display: "up and attem")

The walk to swim practice is short, but refreshing given the crispness in the early morning air. [[go to practice]]

The time is currently 7:35 am and you have just returned from your first college swim practice. Remember when you said you were feeling okay this morning though? [[yea...?]] [[i never said that before, stop gaslighting me]]

(live: 2s)[Well...] (live: 4s)[Exciting news...] (live: 6s) [You actually almost passed out this morning!!!] [[Lucky Duck.]]

Now who looks silly? (display: "yea...?")

So now you're thinking, hmm.. maybe I should eat something? A breakfast sammich sounds pretty good right now. Maybe it was all just (link:"heartburn")[You're not used to this kind of physical activity, so heartburn makes sense in your head... but you also have never gotten heartburn before (that you know of)]? You wouldn't be surprised if it was. [[Uh oh]]

A nice [[breakfast sandwhich]] sounds good. Never fails.

uh oh... [[what?]]

that's not how that's supposed to taste... (text-colour:red)[EMERGENCY EVACUATION!!] [[MAYDAY MAYDAY]]

You race to the bathroom as fast as your sore little legs can carry you, and you proceed to toss the delicious breakfast you just prepared for yourself right into the toilet... [[taps quietly sound in the distance]]

that was a very unhelpful event to add to your already very unhelpful morning. The time is currently 8:00 am, what do you choose to do? [[get some more sleep before class]] [[try to make food again]] [[shower]]

You thought about it, and you don't think it would be worth it. You only have one solid hour, and you're too awake now for that. You decide to take a shower instead, maybe it'll snap you out of whatever's going on. (display: "shower")

Why... (live: 1s)[You remember last time, right?] [[yeah, of course]]

You feel like a toasty soup chicken, and a little less congested than you've felt in a few days. On a scale of 1-5, 5 being tip-top shape, how are feeling now? [[1]] [[2]] [[3]] [[4]] [[5]]

I'm disappointed in your choices. (live: 3s)[Now go [[shower]].]

and you still want to try again? [[yes]] [[no]]

(live: 4s)[(go-to: "disappointed")]

Thank God we didn't have to do that again. Now go [[shower]].

If 0 was an option, you would have picked that even faster.

If we factor in your roommate's cat napping on your bed while you looked at emails after your shower, that would be an accurate rating of this morning. But we're not including that. [[:(]]

You did not feel like a neutral 3 this morning. (display:"1-5")

Far too high of a rating for this morning. (display:"1-5")

This is a lie. You did not feel like a 5 today. (display: "1-5")

On a scale of 1-5, 5 being tip-top shape, how are feeling now? [[1]] [[2]] [[3]] [[4]] [[5]]

The time is currently 9:00 am. You have class in 20 minutes. What do you choose to do? [[Go to class]] [[Recover]]

You did not do this. That's the whole point of this Twine story. (display: "Recover")

You decide to not go to classes at all today. You begin emailing your professors to let them know you will be missing today, and will keep them updated on the status of your attendance as the week continues. While in the process of emailing your final professor, however, you realize a mere email will simply [[not do]].

Your creative writing professor has higher expectations of you, and if you're not going to class you can at least show how you're using what you learned in class. The time is currently 12:00 pm. You've accepted today's events, and hope you feel better soon. End.
