Thursday morning. I usually let my Mum wake me up but today I have set my alarm for seven. Even from under my duvet, I can hear it bleating on the other side of my room. I hid it inside my plastic crate for faulty joysticks so that I would have to get out of bed, walk across the room, yank it out of the box by its lead and, only then, jab the snooze button. This was a tactical manoeuvre by my previous self. He can be very cruel. Joe Dunthorne
About This Quote

When I was little, I would have to get up earlier than everyone else in my family because I had an annoying old alarm clock that would wake me up every morning. I wasn't happy about this, but after a while, I began to like getting up even earlier than my family because it gave me time to think and plan and build the perfect day. Now that I am older and have my own alarm clock, I still prefer waking up early to start my day off right.
