As I look out the window of the second floor of Richter, the sun is coming up and the sky is quickly changing from midnight blue to navy. Silhouettes of palm trees in the foreground give way to a blurry outline of trees in the distance. I've been in here since 6pm. That's 12 hours straight, save for a quick run to the c-store and my dorm, and to get some Taco Bell and 'Donalds.

These past few days have been quite enjoyable, in a way. I've finished my first-ever big (10+ page) writing assignment of college, and I'm 2 days ahead in finishing another paper in another class. I feel like I finally have some semblance of control over my academic life. I'm looking forward to Dean's List this semester...possibly pushing 4.0, if Spanish turns out alright. I still have a few tests to get through, but if my previous tests are any indication, I shouldn't have any problems. Now that I think about it, I pretty much have a test in every class to get through:

MSC101: Wednesday
GEG362: Thursday
MSC243: Thursday
SPA211: Next Tuesday
MCY131: Not sure! This Friday maybe?

Tests suck.

I turn around again to find a vast expanse of gray -- it's eerily foggy outside. The library is starting to fill back up again. The day awaits. I need to sleep!
