Bad week so far. :(
I hate hate hate it when a week starts off badly.
Yesterday, I woke up for my 9AM class on time, felt nice and responsible, then came back to relax and do some reading before my 2:45 class. I sat down to watch some aqua teen and just passed out until 3PM. Yay for missing a class that i had spend the weekend preparing for. 
Today, I set my alarm for 7:15 to get up for my 9AM. It went off, I woke up, i hit snooze, and then promptly rolled over on top of my alarm (i use my cell phone, dumb idea i know).
I wake up at 9:05 on my own. woo for missing another class. I now have a 10:25 class for which I couldn't complete the homework because the professor provides no aid whatsoever, he wants us to 'figure it out on our own.' And then grades it for correctness. >.<
After that class i get to go crank out as much of a book as I can for my 1:15 anthropology class because the professor didn't update the syllabus until yesterday.
And tomorrow is valentine's day and my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me three weeks ago and has already moved on.
Ugh.

I use iAlarm, and ridiculously loud alarm sound effect. It is impossible to sleep through.

Re: Bad week so far. :(
if you keep sleeping through your classes, you should invest in a new alarm clock, or two. the more loud and annoying noises the more of a chance that you'll wake up. i feel your pain though, i've slept through my fair share of classes. it's not fun.

I use my cell phone, too. On mine you can set multiple alarms, so if you want to get up at 7 then you might set one for 7 and one for 7:01.

I set my alarm for 45 minutes before I have to get up. That way I can hit the snooze button 5 times, and by the time the 5th alarm comes around, I'm not dead to the world anymore.

For the class thing:
Talk to your professor and present some sort of compelling excuse that hints at responsible characteristics you may or many not actually have. Try to seem excessively intrigued by their lesson plan and give them a figurative reach-around. That's a good way to catch-up with a missed class.
As for the alarm:
Get a better alarm.
As for the girl:
Hit the scene as soon as possible while you still have vulnerable charm. If you wait too long that will dissipate and you will be stained with the stench of relationship failure. I don't quite know how that actually works, but I know women are able to smell it from a mile away.
