Orange Tan

             The fresh, good, newborn day and I made our greetings as I got out of
             bed and began to get ready for class. Already behind schedule by ten
             minutes or so I hurried to shower, shave, and change clothes. Absent
             mindedly, still in some what of a daze from the party the night before
             and the time of 7:00 in the am, I nicked myself rather badly on my
             neck while shaving. Throwing my books in my bag and it over my
