Good Morning

Well a few hours ago, at about 1am, i thought it was about time i let reward myself after a hard day of studying, with a nice full night of sleep. I crawled into my warm welcoming bed for a full restful 15 min of sleep. And im not being sarcastic with that statement. I woke up 15 min later feeling totally rested and prepared for my new day! I thought that was ridiculous...i just needed a few more hours of work to make my eyes sufficiently tired, so i added a few hours of Math review to my evening accomplishments. At about 4:00 i thought i would give sleep another try even tho i still wasn't feeling to tired. It wasn't mean to be however, i got up 20 min later, having completely given up on all prospect of rest for the night. I wasn't too upset however, i was excited to think of all the different things i could do in all this new found time! I filled my time with a few short things when i noticed the sun was starting to rise. This is something i love about the morning, even tho i never manage to get up in time. I decided to take a trip outside. I threw on a jacket and wandered through Middle Earth in my fuzzy black slippers. I was amazed with the gray sky that was sprinkling a misty rain from it. The lavender jacaranda trees seemed even more vibrant in the fresh light, and the reflection of beauty from the puddles of flowers seemed to carpet the path i took to the parking structure. After accidentally rusting up a few bunnies from their breakfast of flowers and grass, i hopped on the staircase that took me to the 7th floor of the parking structure. The misty rain continued to wet my face as i climbed higher and higher. The air in the morning is unique, it is a sweet, crisp refreshing breath . When i finally made it to the top i marveled at the little portion of earth i could watch come to life. I hopped up on the wall to take a seat and enjoy the show. Slowly as the dark charcoal in the sky faded to a cloudy light, the street lights flickered off, and slowly some lights in windows turned on. A few cars began driving on the roads, and the people who had spent all nighters in the library began making their ways back to their respective homes. It was a special occasion, to be able to down on the life i normally live, yet as a complete outsider. I knew it was time to head back to my room however when a young guy finally noticed my what must have looked like a precarious position of dangling over the 7th story ledge. Obviously concerned with my intentions for being up there he shouted up at me "you ok?" "ya i'm cool!" "you sure?" "ya just enjoying the morning!" "ok...". I felt a little bad obviously making him worry, but i would have to say it was worth it. Well this is just my recount of a nice time i spent, no real point to this. I'm prolly going to head over to starbucks in a few min to grab some coffee, and get back to studying. I'm glad i could take some time out of this busy and often worrisome time of finals and enjoy God's creation, and enjoy life, and to enjoy this very refreshing, and very very Good Morning.

Thoughts durring a run...

So i got the new Rec Release for the summer this weekend when i stopped by the arc for some fun. As i was looking through it i got really excited for the summer. I am going to have a lot of free time that i can spend doing a lot of different things. It might be difficutl deciding however what i should concentrate on with so many exciting things comming my way. I am so ready to use the pool on a dayly basis, it is such a nice pool. Also the arc is still offering their normal exercise classes, so i might just have to check out some of those. There are also a few dance calsses that looked interesting, however i wouldnt take those unless someone took them with me (girl or guy, i just want someone to go with). Then i was also looking at some of the other sports that they like, offer classes for and not that i want to take those...but it made me think of all the things i wanted to do more of. I decided i wanted to play some tennis this summer, and get good at it. Anyone want to join me! It could be some good fun. But after all this, there was one add that really caught my attention. The one on the right. So i have kinda been wanting to do a triathalon for...like...about since i got back to america. And this is like PERFECT opportunity!!! Im not positive ill do it. But im going to start training for it! Which i needs to get on the ball with running swimming and Biking!!! But it looks so fun and i am So ready to give it a try!
Today was my first "official day" of training. I decided to go for a run. I didnt want to do it indoors, and i most deff did NOT want to run around ring road like lots of ppl seem to do. So i thought, where do i want to explore...university hills! Oh and it was So worth it! For the next hour and a half i ran around all sorts of roads, looking at all sorts of beautifull houses and cars. Oh MAN our profs have some NICE suff. It made me want to become a prof just so i could live up there. Its amazing. And the best part was the VIEW. You woudl never have known it, but when you get near the back of the complex you reach the top of a hill that lets you look over all of camps and then farthur onto OC. It is SUCH an awesome view, and the hill is covered in all sorts of unique plants and cacti(sp?). I stopped there for a litte taking it in. Unfortunatly i didnt have my camera or i woudl have tried to capture it for you all, but maybe you just need to come running with me instead ;)
So also as i was running, looking at all the beautifull houses i began to think about it. Like, how much i envied them at that time. I always say i want to be poor, and that made me question, do i really actually want that? Cuz i seem pretty attracted to money and material things. Although the answer is yes to that, i also find that...it wasnt so much the extravagence of the houses themselves, but really rather the having of them. Having a house with a few, and a porch, and a balcony and garden. It was so nice, it is so simple,but those are the things that i miss. I dont know what i would do to have some of those things. But this is where the exciting news comes in too! next year, i CAN. Although not quite to the scail as the people in University hills, i WILL have a balcony, and i can make the view special with the Garden i hope to plant in some window boxes maybe. I know that sounds lame, but i love flowers and plants and watchign things grow. I think flowers are a special gift from God that are purly for us to see his marvelous beauty through. Well i know this is a pretty random spurattic post, but, just what has been running through my mind. I hope you enjoyed the little glimps of it. And if you have any feelings about how i should spend my SUMMER!!! Do feel free to shair, i love imput! ;)
