Compassion

I was walking downtown just now on my way to Crepeville for dinner. On the corner there was this afro-haired man standing and asking people to write down in his journal what their ideas of compassion are. I wrote something down and then proceeded to ask him why he was doing this? His response was that it wasn't for a class, but to promote awareness of compassion. I thought that was admirable and cool.

Insomniac

Sleeping has become so over rated to me lately. I can't seem to fall asleep till 2 0r 3 in the morning for the last two weeks. Then I find myself awoken around 8 am in the morning to start my day. I stay up thinking about all the things that need to get done, day dreaming or just plain anxious from stuff.

This week has also been bogged down with exams, reports and just plain school work. I didn't get home from campus till 1 am last night. I think I am liking this whole nocturnal thing though. I wake up early, work out, go to class and then go to work and stay there till the wee morning hours. Come home and do it all over the next day.

I already miss summer.

The best things about summer

1. No endless amount of school work

2. Sleeping in/ having a good night's sleep

3. Vacations/ getaways

4. Hanging out with friends because you have all the extra time in the world

5. The beach and pool

6. Davis is nice and quiet because most of the students are out of town

7. Late nights out

Man I am already bogged down with so much work. I am starting to have problems sleeping because I can't stop thinking about all the things I didn't get done and need to do in the morning and next day. Now to bed because 6:30 am comes early.
