*~*~*Mei Tripitakas, Earth*~*~*

The alarm clock blared once again, giving off the annoying tone as always. It was immediately silenced by Mei, who became quickly alert and awake. She had already been lying awake by the time the alarm clock went off. She was quite used to getting up earlier than six in the morning, thanks to her time spent in that temple. She sighed as she got up and made her small breakfast, which was a plastic cup full of instant oatmeal. As she ate her breakfast, she finished her homework for her classes. After that, she quickly got dressed, gathered her things and headed for her first class of the day. She ran her schedule for today through her mind. Other than her usual college classes and homework, there was also a charity event that she was going to help out with tonight. The charity event was a festival, and the money received would go towards to helping the orphanages and after school programs for children.

As she headed for classes, she passed by the field where athletes were practicing and training in various sports. She herself preferred to run whenever she can, but unfortunately, there was no time for her to do so today. She didn't know why she preferred running over any other sport, it was just something that she liked, even if running was difficult at times. She continued on her way, ignoring the athletes and was more focused on recalling what she learned from last lecture, just in case the teacher decided to give a pop quiz.
