Woke up at 09:28 today. The same old lazy morning and the snoozing alarm sounding at its peak, only to be put back on hold. With a half open eye and the bed-stuck spine, the mobile screen made me realize that the morning lecture is already out of my hands. Not a worrisome update, I've already got used to it (0% attendance requirement, duh!). But I could see something worse slipping from my cards. 

Wake up, boy! Just a couple of minutes before they closed the doors to your "morning madness" (Get that, please). Pace up or miss out the only good meal of the day. Such cruel is the world, who shuts down the entry for food? It's disheartening to be so close to it and yet so far to reach. 

Brush your teeth, later. Judge me all you want but I've got my priorities sorted. And when the time asks for it, you got to make some tough calls. You haven't eaten for 8 long hours, after the night canteen I mean, and worked till the first ray of sun struck your face, especially when you're roleplaying a sniper. And while you were rested for a power-nap-stretched-too-long, your mind was still fighting the evil. Quite a restless task you did there. 

But what about the habits that you've grown up with? All the learnings about the manners and etiquettes, you want them to go in vain? Just because of a delay of a couple of minutes, you're letting go of a well-nurtured "ritual". You may regret it in the later times, that because of you being irresponsible towards your tasks, you're now showing a token of disrespect to the endeavors of your parents. Let that sink. 

After analyzing the opportunity cost against a long grown daily chore and getting the weighted average of the risk regressions, It was the latter who was the clear winner, breakfast to be specific. 'Cause why not? What is learned shall never be forgotten but at the same time, you must live in the present. What you do now will have a more impact than what you've been doing so far and when it comes on to choosing the sides, always the present you scales more than the past version of yours. 

Because anyway, screw ups like these, being the perpetual ones, can be managed in the future but you must not start off with a brand new blunder when you now that it can be averted. 

Damn! That was a tough analysis to do, wasn't it? Took more time to think it myself than you reading this blog. So I started off my way to Hostel mess. And not to my surprise now, the gates were tightly closed. So I got back and brushed my teeth. 

Fin. 

PS: This is my first effort in writing the first person account and an abstract comparative analysis.
