i love todays

Few things could beat a kind of day like today. Today is one of those days where I don't have anything until my research meeting with my professor at 3. So, naturally, I got up at 6 -- or at least, I woke up at 6. A storm was brewing, and I lay there for nearly an hour, listening to the thunder, and the rain, the noise fading in and out as it moved away from us and the next segment came in.

At 7, I got up and did my laundry. Done by 9. Now I'm just waiting for the flatmates to head off to class so I can shower without having to worry about them needing the bathroom. The storm is still going strong -- my roommate so desperately wants class to be canceled -- and every time I hear another peal, or the strong downpour of rain, I grin. I can't help myself.

Now, to shower and research -- and packing for going home for the weekend...
