Wanderings

I’m writing this in advance, probably won’t post it until I resurface later today.  I just walked to the lake on campus, I can see it from my window and it’s so beautiful, and what better time to go there than half 4 in the morning? I love the lake, I go down there most days, sometimes just to sit and read. Today though, it looked amazing despite the rain that’s been coming down all night, and so I decided to go for a walk.

It was the most bizarre feeling though, no one was around and I could have just carried on walking into the lake and no one would have seen me again. I wouldn’t dream of it though, I adore my life, my university, my friends and everything that I have. It was just strange, you know? How easy it could be to carry on walking those few extra steps. Kind of frightening, the control that you can have on that sort of thing, I didn’t like it much. Enough of that though, I’m not being morbid, just pondering I suppose. This is what happens when you stay awake until at least 5am for 4 days running. I think I’ve had 12 hours sleep in total during those days.

Finished my exams on Friday, and I’ve had the best time since then. I go out most nights, or stay in and watch a film with my girls. It’s been so much fun, and I absolutely love it. Tonight, we went to a tiny club that was completely rammed because it was the only place open on a bank holiday Monday. It was so much fun, they played the best music all night and I can’t for the life of me fathom why we didn’t go there before. Came home at around 2:30, earlier than I’d have liked I suppose, and I’ve been up since then. I’ve watched daylight happen, and the rabbits and ducks have all come out of hiding for the night, lights are coming on all over campus and it’s stunning out here. I love this life that’s happening everywhere, with so many people on campus and everything. It’s an awesome place.

I think I’ve decided to try and stay up all night. I don’t think I’ll manage it. Actually, maybe I have, it’s light...so I suppose it counts. Some crazy people even wake up at this time voluntarily. How insane of them. Maybe I should go to bed, the lack of sleep is starting to catch up with me, and I have things to do tomorrow.

As ever, thanks for reading.
