"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."

Bzzt. Bzzt.
Bzzt. Bzzt.
I pinched the bridge of my nose. A mild headache was making my head spin. I shut my eyes, hoping to chase it away.

The alarm kept blaring. It was annoying thus; I was forced to open my eyes.
Everything was a little blurry, but when I finally got to see clearly, I immediately sat up, my eyes going animatedly wide.
I was trying to absorb my surroundings, hoping to recognize anything that would tell me where I was at the moment.
But from the white ceiling, the fan in the corner, a computer desk with the monitor still on, and the soft mattress beneath me told me nothing.
A little while later, the door of the bedroom creaked open. I immediately had a déjà vu.
