In between Bed and Breakfast

Waking up before the sun decides to join you is an interesting experience... after you convince yourself that chem lab is not just a class and you really shouldn't sleep in. Today, by the time I surrendered to the logic of my nagging inner student conscience (for the lack of a better term), I realized that waking up before everyone else gives me a unique window of time to be alone. Not just left alone or away from people while the rest of the world goes about its business. But now, the entire house, and perhaps many other houses, are completely silent because people aren't in "this world" yet. When we sleep, we become unconscious to what is happening around us, and it's almost like a mini-death! Trust me, I'm not trying to be morbid. But I feel alone right now in a peaceful way, is what I'm trying to get across. Everyone is here, no one has left or "abandoned" me, and yet their minds are off somewhere submitting itself to the whims of its subconscious. The silence is restful, interrupted rhythmically by deep, comfortable breathing. One has to be comfortable and at ease in order to fall into such a deep sleep,and although I'm not sleeping anymore, I am still basking in their rest. Who knew waking up early could be so relaxing?
