it's a secret to everyone

I found this today. It's a character intro, it could possibly use a description of what the character is wearing, but other than that, it's complete. I think I will finish the rest of the story.
===========
The sun was bright in my face. I rolled over and covered my head with my plaid comforter. Silently I paniced and leapt from bed. I had overslept, nothing to be done now but remedy my failures thus far. I clothed myself in a whirlwind and then swiftly slid through my door, keys in hand, turning the lock before my satchel even had time to complete its motion and land with a thump at my side. I briskly walked towards the parking deck, organizing my thoughts for the upcoming proposal that I was to be making to Dr. Melgrove. The parking deck elevator was broken, either that or the light in the button had died, but I doubted that. Jogging up one flight of stairs I quickly ascended to the level where I had parked two nights ago, before submersing myself in last minute research and planning for this preliminary pitch to the head of the governing body of research. I was the only one parked on this level, unusual. I wasted no time on this fascinating but irrelevant fact, quickly starting my car and speeding down the endless left turn of the marquee street apartments parking deck. By the time I had reached the street, the lack of cars seemed less irrelevant.

Priorities

This one post a month thing is stupid. Alot of things that I do are stupid. After reading the worse is better theory I've decided that the theory fits the pattern of success in many things. I also really like the focus that "worse is better" puts on simplicity. Simple things are easier to understand and easier to change. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I am a minimalist at heart. In my opinion, as a general rule, unless there is a "good" reason for something, it's unneccesary. HOWEVER, the beauty of "worse is better" is that defining "good" is not a primary issue. The first task in worse is better is to keep things simple. Not creating anything is pretty simple, and that doesn't really violate worse is better(though it doesn't yield anything either). There is no better quote for this concept than "It is better to destroy than to create what is unneccesary." In the spirit of this philosophy of design and creation, I'm writing a short book. It will be at least 325 pages, and I will be finished on Dec. 31. Yes, that is a completely unreasonable deadline. When I am finished, I will decide where to proceed from there. I'm pretty much following WiB. I have a very rough(10 line) outline, but I didn't write that until I had already written a few pages of the book. I basically have no rules set for myself besides have 325 pgs written by midnight Dec. 31. Look forward to a post about my experiences with this experiment short after that.
