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.

Even though I love sleep, I am a little jealous of your awesome morning. We should do that sometime (if I can ever drag myself out of bed)
