Out with the old/In with the new?

Je refuse!

Oh, freshmen, how young and innocent you all look... so ready for your 4 years at Stanford... so unprepared for how quickly the time passes.

It's ridiculous how quickly 3 years has flown by, and I can't believe that summer is already over. It's a bit overwhelming how much has happened, too, when I think about it. Not only that, how much lies ahead in this year alone.

Maybe this is all because I'm waiting to eat. I'm starrrrrving. We're having 2 pizzas delivered.

*Low blood sugar alert?*

I'd like to talk about the virtues of reading in bed and napping. I mentioned that I'm reading The White Tiger, and while it's a good book, I love the ritual more than anything else. Yesterday afternoon, last night, and this afternoon, I read before going to sleep... and that knocked me out faster than anything else. Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep and will just lay in bed thinking far too much about everything in life, even though just a second before then, when my feet were on the ground, I was exhausted. I think I've found a good solution: take 10 minutes to read in bed! It also takes my mind off of the fact that my sheets are cold and it allows me to warm up the sheets for actual sleepytime. My room tends to get really cold at night, so that minute or so when I'm trying to warm up the sheets can be pretty brutal and seems to take forever.

Napping will be a regular in my life this upcoming year, I think. It's such a lovely feeling, napping in the sun on a comfy bed. Since the morning sun heats my room up so quickly and wakes me up at 8 am, or so, I'll definitely have to try to catch my sleep somehow, and napping is fine by me.

Clearly, I'm just trying to pass time while I wait for the food. Agony. Stomach eating itself.
