Today has been a very peculiar day. I was bicycling to school and the pedal fell off of my bike, so I had to walk the rest of the way. When I got to school, all of the rooms were painted different colors than usual. When I woke up in the morning, there were at least three cats staring at me through my window. When I asked questions in class, the teachers never seemed to notice. I think school ended later than usual as well. Am I still in a dream?
