the wind pounding on my window with its intensity. the weird and slightly-terrifying dream I had. the realization settling in that I'm done for the semester. contemplating the future. being super-thirsty. thinking of everything i want to do before leaving seward. thoughts of being home in a week. a newly begun piece of writing.
one (or all) of these things woke me up and wouldn't let me get back to sleep.
or maybe it was missing a post yesterday. :)
one thing's certain, though:
5 a.m. is such a tranquil time of day.
i find myself thinking about the people who are up at this time every day. doesn't it seem like those are the people we know who work the longest hours? (like my dad. professors. farmers. moms.) i almost feel unworthy to be in their awake company right now.
but saturday mornings are great for staying snuggled up under covers for at least a little extra time, even if you have to do it wide-awake. especially winter-y saturday mornings.

Maybe this is why, but I've ALWAYS wished I was more of a morning person. I feel like I miss out on so much when I sleep in, and ... well ... we all know what kind of people usually keep company with late nights. ;)
