First Hour:
I woke up late. And then showered. So no first hour for me.

Mini Challenge! 
Classic Words of Wisdom
So, for this challenge, you need to create a post highlighting your favorite "Classic Words of Wisdom" and then explain their meaning to you. 

I have a couple from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol

“I don't think..." then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.” 

I like this one a lot, because a lot of times, I say things without thinking.

“Everything is funny, if you can laugh at it.”

Kind of how I get through life, if you can laugh at it, then everything is okay.

Third hour:
