T minus 5.5 hours.

After 20 minutes of trying to fall asleep I decided my mind was thinking too much for sleep. Finals. One word: sucky. 8am test on Neurons, CNS, PNS, and reflexes. (trust me, you don't wanna know). Just gotta keep telling myself TWO MORE WEEKS!!!!!!!!!! For now I can look forward to:

1. My adult sized bed
2. Working enough to (hopefully) pay off my credit card bill
3. Yummy nummy homecooked meals for 3 straight weeks
4. Presents!!!!.. eh hem.. I mean.. Christmas!
5. A party hardy New Year's
6. The Fray concert January 8!!!!
7. BEST OF ALL: NO HOMEWORK, NO TESTS, NO STRESS

On another note, in order to satisfy my undying cravings for caffeine, and massive amounts of it, I went on a mission tonight to Caribou (sorry fellow Starbuckians). As I'm about to pass Main Ave. I come to a stoplight where I see a man with a slight limp in a stocking cap and thin nylon jacket about to cross. Out of my wuss-like, girly instinct, I check to make sure my car doors are locked. From the moment he stepped into the intersection to the time he ran to make it across before the light turned, I stared in interest. Unnaturally, my heart started to ache for this man. Here I am, sitting in my car, complaining to myself on how it's so slow to warm up, stressing about my tests, my financial 'situation', and other unimportant things. All the while, this poor man is walking to reach his destination, no gloves, no heavy down parka like myself. I stopped and said a quiet prayer for this man, that hopefully he was on his way to a family. To step into a warm house where a meal right out of the oven is waiting on the table, and afterwords climb into a cozy bed. Sadly, I don't believe that that was the man's fate for the night. I made an unspoken promise to this man. I would step out of my bubble of a life. I would become more tolerant & more understanding. Maybe less quick to judge.. less quick to "lock the doors"on someone who can teach you a life lesson or see something you would've never seen before. This goes to you, sir. Thank you.
