The grating buzz of an alarm clock suddenly sounded in a dimly lit bedroom. This was soon joined by the sound of incomprehensible mumbling and groaning as the room's occupant shifted under his light sheets. Thin shafts of light had started to shine through the thin gaps in the room's curtains, steadily illuminating it. As the incessant buzzing continued, Chris Balton slowly rose from his bed and staggered over to the clock, unceremoniously pounding the off button. The next several seconds consisted of a great deal of yawning and stretching, followed by squinting as he pulled the curtains aside to let in the summer sun.
Despite his slow start to the day, he could feel excitement starting to build up inside him. Today was the day his life would change forever, and his pace soon started to reflect his growing eagerness. In no time he was in and out of the shower and dressed in light jeans, sneakers, and a button up with the sleeves rolled back. He rushed downstairs to prepare a quick breakfast of donuts and coffee, which he ended up inhaling more than eating.
A quick brush of his teeth and he was out the door, supply laden backpack in hand. He immediately broke into a run as he turned onto the dirt road leading to Professor Birch's lab. While it wasn't far, Chris still wanted to reach it as quickly as possible. Sure enough, he was soon in front of the lab's entrance.Taking a moment to catch his breath, Chris tried to steady his nerves a bit before knocking on the door and calling out, "Professor! Its Chris Balton! I'm ready to get started!"
