Question:  Find a message in your inbox. Describe the emotion of the sender (Original sentence). Expand the original sentence to at least 30 words. 


Original message:
"Jeevy wake up!"

Expended:
Her head feels so heavy she can't even lift it from her white, fluffy pillow. Her deep sleep was disturbed by the sound of birds chirping. As loud as they were screaming turbulently. She feels irritated and looks around the room half-consciously. She startled when her eyes caught up to one of the post-its she pasted on her wall. She has a library induction to be attended! She grabbed her phone hastily and texted her friend, Jeeivita right afterwards. A bundle of nervousness travels down her whole body. She grabbed her towel quickly and rushed for bath.
