To be honest, this happened during my university days. It was a geography or cartography lecture. The professor had scheduled a special lecture that day, which was supposed to start at 8:30 a.m. The previous night, I stayed up late studying and couldn't fall asleep early. I woke up at 8:00 a.m., realizing I was already late. Despite being tired, I decided to attend the lecture. I rushed to the classroom and saw my friends already there. I was the only one late because I couldn't wake up on time. I tried to enter the lecture room, but the professor saw me and asked why I was late. I explained that I couldn't get up early. He scolded me, saying I was always late, even that day. I tried to explain that I wasn't usually late, but he wasn't convinced. He said it might be okay, but he had to give me a punishment. He told me to leave the lecture.
