did very well on my exam this morning, in spite of being extrodinairily drowsy this morning...I almost fell asleep while studying in the upstairs cafe. My new sleep medication specifies 8 hours, but I went to bed late unexpectedly and screwed that up.

now very tired with a fairly long day ahead. Don't know how much I'll be able to do today, but I'm gonna try.

Had a very...zen moment...the other day. I had just read the newest in a series I like at Barnes and Noble. As I walked out into the night of the parking lot I saw a tree glowing in the ultra-bright light of the nearest street lamp. It was covered in five-petaled white flowers...they looked like stars. On an impulse I walked over and stood underneath it, staring up into the branches. Reaching out, the petal were silken and cool from the gusts of wind whipping through the area.

The world disappeared around me. It was only me and pure beauty of the earth. I could feel it absorb me into its fold.

Then someone called my name. *sigh* such a rude interruption, but they couldn't have known.

G'nite.
