Did you ever fall asleep in school? Once in junior high, but only because I was sick and should not have gone to school that day. My teacher sent me to the nurse's office and my mom came and picked me up.
If so, did you get caught? That time (above), the room was dark because we were watching a film but I fell asleep. When it was over, I told my teacher and that's when I went to the nurse's office.

Have a great Thursday. The weekend is around the corner!

I guess I was asleep when the numbers turned. I was wondering what would happen when someone hit that magic number. I was kind of afraid that it might just reset. Wouldn't that be terrible?

It was a very intense program.
