I quickly jumped in the shower. I dried myself, put my pajamas on, and was off to bed. .
My alarm went off at 11:00 a.m., I walked into the kitchen and got myself some cereal. After eating my scrumptious bowl of cereal, I was off to contact my command leader. " My mission is going as planned. I am meeting Ginsberg at the Six Gallery at around 11:00 p.m. on Saturday." I told my commander. My commander told me to continue as planned.
