Fighting the Current

bright and sunny

I just realized this morning that I have not been able to sleep in later than 9 all break. And I won't be able to tomorrow either. Oh well.

I was up at 8:30 for mass this morning, and I was fighting to keep from nodding off. Afterwards, I went outside with my camera and woke up considerably. Now I'm in a very good mood. If I'm up early (usually of my own volition, but strangely not in this case) and have something to occupy me (like photo-ops or a meteor shower or something), I tend to be in a good mood. Sometime last year the peak of a meteor shower was supposed to be at 3 AM. I woke up at five of, before anyone's alarms went off (including mine) and before anyone else was up. I was psyched about it, and spent the next hour or two just watching the sky. It was really amazing.

Slightly annoyed though. I completely forgot to recharge my camera battery when it ran out. I have two and always keep one fully charged. Just didn't take it out of my camera bag I guess.

My library's doing a Harry Potter party this week. I was debating which character to be for it and finally decided on Rita Skeeter. I have almost none of her physical attributes, but I can make up for that in sheer annoyance factor I think. And I'm thinking I'll give her a New York accent just for originality, lol. It would give me an excuse to be in everyone's hair and carry my camera around and take notes on people. Watch, it'll be postponed like every other library function.

Went through my entire journal last night and saved all the entries to disk. It didn't take as long as I thought it would, although it did end up being 144 pages or thereabouts... I want to go back through and make a commentary--expand for myself on what was going on at the time and why I wrote what I did. No idea how much I'll remember, but it's worth a shot.

Gonna check that battery, maybe use it for a while and charge the other one completely.
