so it is 6:45 a.m. on a wednesday morning. 

and the sunrise is b-e-a-utiful. 

im sitting in my dorm study lounge and the sunshine's bleeding onto my eyes from the window. 

and despite my slight sleep deprivation, im ridiculously happy. 

all i need are a t.v. with the news and a nice cappuccino. 

oh, and with a piece of chocolate. that'd be a nice touch. 

im awake at this ridiculous hour to attempt to finish my women in European history paper. researching for this has given me a lot of insight into the regulation of female sexuality throughout the early modern period. quite interesting how they also managed to tie in the witch hunt that occurred during the time, too. but i wont bore you with this. hehe. i think im absolutely in love with mornings now. i love watching the sky change colors, as if unveiling the ultimate glow of the sun as it rises. its simply gorgeous, and i relish the days i get to sit in solitude to enjoy them. i can't help but try to enjoy it; knowing that i may very well be in europe next semester has made me want to indulge in the little things here that make this place amazing. not only is it HOME but it's got such amazing characteristics that... well, if i were going to be gone for a few months i know i will probably miss it. but if i were to be gone for an entire YEAR like i have been hoping... we shall see. but you know, you always miss something once it's gone. have a fabulous day, folks! 'cause after this morning, i know i will :)
