I woke up to a loud noise at four in the morning. The people here seem to dislike sleeping. I reluctantly got out of bed and loo
ked at my schedule. I had to get ready and head to the main hall for an orientation session in half an hour. By the time I managed to reach the main hall, it was half an hour too late. Beverages had been served, and everyone else was seated. I had to dislodge an entire row of students to get to a seat. I fell asleep during the presentation. When I woke up again, I found myself in an empty hall. I checked the time, and it was eleven thirty in the morning. When I went to the cafeteria to get some food, they had already stopped serving breakfast. Resigned to the fact that the day was not going to get any better, I went back to my room to sleep. I wished it were just a bad dream from which I would wake up. Which type of text structure is used in this excerpt from a freshman's diary?
