Early Morning Musings
I think I might finally understand why my mom loves getting up early in the morning.
Because I'm sick, I slept most of yesterday. For those of you who don't know, this is standard procedure for me when I'm ill--I give my body a rest as my immune system works its butt off making those nice little antibodies that kill the baddies who decided to attack me.
Anyways, because I was asleep for a large chunk of the day yesterday, I woke up at 2:30 this morning and was unable to go back to sleep. Since I have my biology class at 6:45, I decided to just get up and do this and that while I watched the clock tick. After all, four and a quarter hours isn't all that long!
At about five o'clock, I went out to get my third cup of tea (another thing about sick-little-me is that I only drink tea. The caffeine helps the antibodies work... or, at least, that's the idea). As I waited for the water to boil, I strolled around the living and dining room, just listening to the silence.
It was the same as when I stay up very, very late: that absolute peace that just makes my mind wake up. Without all the distractions from my family moving around the house, I felt like I could really think. It was a quite nice feeling...
This does not mean I'm turning into a morning person. I'm still a night-owl, through and through. However I think that, every now and then, I just might set my alarm for 5:00 and go out and watch the sunrise over our fence...
I never have done that...

WOO! Go Night Owls!!!
The sad thing is that with an 8am job that is an hour away, being a Night Owl is not so good. :(
However, I'm usually up until 10:30pm-12am or so reading. I've learned to operate well on 6 hours of sleep. :)

haha, Night Owls FTW!
*cough*
I used to be able to wake myself up, at like, 5, willingly. to play computer games. I can't do that anymore.
I used to be paranoid that someone was gunna come and stab me or shoot me or something, so that could be why I was able to wake up so early. :-P

Yay! I love being a nightowl. Haha. Staying up until 2:30 is even better then waking up at 2:30. ^_^
Yeah, I used to be able to wake up early. Actually, I used to not be able to not wake up early. Now it's a struggle for me to get up in the morning. heh.
And rofl Shawn, I think all kids worry about that at some point. At least, I did. *lol*
Waitaminute... "I'm still afraid of the dark!"

I've always wanted to get up early and watch the sunrise like that, too! We should totally do that sometime in the near future. And then enjoy the quietness of an early morning. ^_^
