18 Minutes to Heaven

Sunday Morning: Sun shining. Dewey leaves.  Oh my god, this day is amazing!  Point D is the place, my calling.  It only took 18 minutes to get there and I pretty much napped all the way.  Sometimes I think I am narcoleptic, but that's besides the point.   The point is this was an amazing day and it had to be spent outside.  I ran for an hour and half through a multitude of scenes.  I could run like a crab with the waves lapping at my feet or like an Asian Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mahicans through the woods.  Everything felt so simplistic.  My skin only felt the rush of cool air with notes of the salty sea.  My eyes were tantalized with the sun shining through the canopy leaves of the tree.  My ears only heard the pattering of my feet and birds chirping.  I found pure bliss in virtually nothing.  I spent another half hour indulging in my biology nerd personality.  I wandered about practicing for a bio lab quiz by identifying the vast varieties of life all around me.  I reluctantly boarded the bus and enjoyed the glow of pink light passing through my closed eyelids as I dozed on the short ride back to campus.  I really, really, really am enjoying the advantages of a free bus pass this week.
