I was attending a large university.
I was away from home for the first time.

I debated if I should get up and start my day.
Afterall, I could accomplish a lot in the quiet of the morning.
Instead, I decided to read so I would fall back asleep.
Sleep a few more hours, I told myself, and then “Hit it full steam ahead!”

Three weeks of shorts and tee shirts.

Three weeks of happy hour on the porch in early evening.
