Have you ever had such a wonderful morning that you had to share it with everyone else? Let me tell you how wonderful I feel today. Firstly, until after last night, I was so deprived of sleep that I was seeing double people! Have you ever seen double people before? That's kind of scary. My eyes just wouldn't focus! Anyways I went to bed around 7pm last night and got up about 7 am this morning. What wonderful sleep I had. I had some crazy dreams, like I was running away from bombs coming from the air. I don't know why, but I'm afraid of bombs coming from the air. Everytime a noisy airplane flys over me I feel jumpy and scared. I wonder what type of fear that is? Bombphobia ? Anyways, I had some exciting dreams. I woke up actually around midnight that night , I think my roommate woke me up and asked me a question. I feel back asleep and woke up around 7am. My roomate was still sleeping, so I quietly did my morning routine. I took a towel with me and my little tote of shower things and went to the shower. I got a stung by cold water at first, but then a nice relaxing steady rain of warm water inundated down on my body. I hadn't showered in two days, my hair had felt oily and dirty before, so after my shower I felt clean from head to toe!

I changed into my pjamas and brushed out my wet kinky hair (I have straight hair but when it gets wet, I am curly sue!). Then my stomach pinched me to remind me that I hadn't had a decent full meal in two days. I was hungry. So hungry that I couldn't concentrate on what I was doing. What did I eat yesterday? I think it was M'Ms that I had! So I wanted to go to McDonalds to get some grub, a good breakfast. I bicycled there and parked outside of McDonalds. The line was long this morning and it was crowded. There were a lot of angry people who were waiting for ten minutes on food. I was lucky. They took care of me in less than 5 minutes. I had ordered a lot of food- two egg mcmuffins and two hash browns and a medium diet coke. It orignally costed about 6 dollars and 30 cents I think, but since I was a VU student, I got 15% off and saved about a buck. I ate slowly and enjoyed my food and read some articles from the magazine called LINK, that VU students get for free. I read something non-school related for once and a while. After eating, I got another refill of diet coke and began to make an outline of what things I've got to do this weekend. Some things on my list included work on some webpages for VU, do some stuff for my fraternity, and do lots of homework! When I was at McDonalds, one of my favorite songs was played-- Amazing by Lonestar. This reminded me of my boyfriend Eric, who is far away from me right now. How I wanted him to be here this morning! I'll see him next weekend though. In the meantime, I guess that I'm going to have to just call him! At Mcdonalds, I also learned that they do not serve my favorite ice cream cones in the morning for breakfast :-( . I have a taste for sugar. I'm going to go to downtown Valparaiso today and maybe go and get some ice cream and go shopping. I'm definately going to treat myself to a VU sweatshirt or sweater today at the bookstore. Maybe even by a gift or two for my parents and my boyfriend. Sunday , I think I'm going to go to the coffee shop and bring some things I have to study with me. Fun. I love to study. that reminds me, this morning when I was riding my bicyle back from McDonalds I just thought of how happy I am right now. Since I've been here at VU my freshman year, I've been happier than I've ever been in my life. Even happier than when I was five years old. I'm enjoying life in general. Enjoying the sun the shines on earth, the fresh smell of trees and grass, the peaceful serenity of the morning and country air, the wonderful world that God has created for us to enjoy. Heaven is here on Earth, and I would feel out of place anywhere else. What a wonderful life. I'm not going hungry, I'm learning things I've never known before, I'm warm, I have a nice place to live, I have my family who loves me very much, they are always there for me, and since I've been away at college, our relationships have gotten 300% better at home. People smile at me wherever I go. My classes give me something to do in shaping my intellect. The profs are nice. I have some spending money to buy myself something nice from time to time. Life for me is GOOD. =) Happiness, Happiness!
