I never intended on running to class. However, unforeseen circumstances made me and I have managed to get to class three minutes early instead of right on time or the possible few minutes late I had assumed I would be. 

"Anyounghaseyo~" I tease my classmates, pretending to be our professor as if I didn't just make a fool out of myself a couple of minutes ago. They laugh.
