Life is full of the unexpected.

This information comes from Yang Xuehui at Shili high school in Xihe, Gansu.
到我起床时，
By the time I got up,
哥哥已经到浴室里了。
my brother had already gotten in the shower.
到我出外时，
By the time I got outside,
公交车已经开走了。
the bus had already left.
当我到学校时，
When I got to school,
我才意识到我把书包已经遗忘在家里了。
I realized I had left my backpack at home.
怎么回事？
What happened?
我睡过头了。
I overslept.
当我到家时，
When I got home,
我才意识到我把钥匙已经遗忘在书包里了。
I realized I had already left my keys in the backpack.
到我返回学校时，
By the time I got back to school,
铃声已经响了。
the bell had rung.
到我走进班上时，
By the time I walked into class,
老师已经开始上课了。
the teacher had started teaching already.
你今天为什么上课迟到了？
Why were you late for class today?
我的闹钟没有响！
My alarm clock didn’t go off!
我一直在睡觉，
I kept sleeping,
当我醒来时已经是早上
8
点了！
and when I woke up it was already 8:00a.m.!
不行！因此我只好急急忙忙穿上衣服冲出家门。
Oh, no! So I just quickly put on some clothes and rushed out the door.
你没吃早餐吗？
You didn’t eat breakfast?
没有，我甚至没有涮牙也没有洗脸！
No, I didn’t even brush my teeth or wash my face!
但在我到达车站前，
But before I got to the bus stop,
公交车已经开走了。
the bus had already left.
那你是怎么来的？
Then how did you get here?
幸运的是卡尔爸爸街道上看见我了，
Luckily, Carl’s dad saw me on the street,
让我搭了他的车。
and gave me a lift in his car.
嗯，至少到你抵达学校时，
Well, at least by the time you got to school,
你上课迟到仅仅五分钟。
you were only five minutes late for class.
Good habits achieve beautiful life.
Try to be your best
