College Life: Monday Morning

So I went to do laundry in my dorm at 10:30 last night and didn't finish until 1:30am because of the dryers... (You have to run them at least three times to get everything dried. I probably should have run it again, but I was too exhausted to wait another twenty minutes.) I was planning on getting up at 5:30 to go to a trumpet studio warm-up, which one of the trumpet graduate students has been doing three mornings a week. But when my alarm went off, I got out of bed, turned it off, and decided I was too tired, so I went back to sleep. I got up at 7. The warm-up was at 7:15. Class starts at 8.

So I walked to the School of Music (a thirty-minute walk) and got there at 7:55, only to find out that the building was locked because of a power outage last night. (All the doors in the SOM are controlled electronically, so the system that unlocks the doors in the morning reset in the middle of the night, and the doors didn't open until 8 instead of 7.) So the warm-up I would have missed never happened. Then when the doors finally opened, everyone rushed to their classes, and the Dean of the SOM came to my class and announced that class was canceled.

So it was kind of bittersweet: I got to sleep longer than I would have if I had gone to the studio warm-up, but I still got up earlier than I needed to. And I didn't have class until 11:15, so I could have spent another two or three hours sleeping. But I'm just glad I didn't miss anything, and I'm thankful that God made me go back to sleep instead of needlessly getting up at 5:30.

I just felt like sharing that because God is awesome! Until next time, God bless!
