5:40a, M-R

Now I live in a cave. No, that’s overstating it maybe. A very dark room mostly underground, with two widthwise windows on the top sixth of the east wall. The sort of place where I’ll look out the window at blue skies but still be unsure wether it’s sunny out.

I’m about to embark on this new adventure. My classes start on monday and I’ve been making mild attempts at trying to get used to the schedule that I’ll have, come the 26th. It mainly consists of me declaring to Laura “Okay, I need to get to bed early tonight.” We talk for an hour or more when I look at the clock and start cursing myself yet again. “Damn, I wanted to get up on-time (5:40a or so… getting ready for school) tomorrow.”

Now for the last week or so, I’ve actually awoken at 5:30a as my alarm is set. However rising from my haze, and sleepy bed is another matter. Well… what am I gonna do so early in the morning anyway? Satisfied with my own logic, I’ve returned to that place, guilt free. But last night I came up with a plan. So if I come up with something to do before I go to bed, then perhaps I won’t so easily relinquish my consciousness to the depths of sleep!

And so far it’s working. I’m up, although by this time I’d already be late for my shuttle ride, at least it’s a start.

“I look out my window, and what do I see? A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me…” Okay well not really but David Bowie might as well be right, because it’s sure as hell is dark enough.

    Hi,
    The word ‘cave’ triggered sooo many memories! The trip in the inflatible rafts down stream in the cave in Indana and then being in mud up to our knees is the most vivid, sliding down those huge mud hills, the water up to our necks, realizing that if one of you little guys had slid off the hill over to the side too far we would have been doing a multipitch rescue is a little frightening. Remember Phil waking up to find his tent floating on top of the pond created by the mid of the night storm and you…wondering off on your own in the cave…”scouting ” ahead for the rest of us. Still doin’ it aren’t you!!

    Um. I tried to reset my password but it didn’t work, so I still have no idea how to log in as me. Oh well. Anyway, it’s been over a month since your last entry, my dear. I may be obsessed with blogging, but at least I update mine!

  7. Aha! It worked. See? This is what happens when I use a password other than my regular one. I forget what it is!
