I woke up very late and I had no time for breakfast, so I bouglu an orange juice from the university ^afeteria. I ran into the room and everyone was at a computen They all looked at me and I went to sil behind a computer, but 1 still had my orange juice. The teacher said, 'You can't d r i n k that i n here.' But as I walked across the room I tripped, and the orange juice went all over a classmate and her computer. Luckily, the computer was OK, and the classmate, Clara, saw the f u n n y side of it. In fact, we're good friends now. Still, it wasn't a good start.
