Day Dreaming

I fell asleep on the hill today in the sunshine. It sounds quite pleasant, and it was! I was somewhat surprised, however... I thought the heat, light and wind would keep me from truly falling asleep as they have in the past -- I remember waking up before, while floating in the pool, thinking "WAIT. There's no wind like this in my bed!" and anyway, it shouldn't be so easy to sleep with grass matted to your legs, sun beaming down on you, and people walking and talking everywhere. I told myself I wouldn't fall asleep because I would just busy myself with analyzing something and that would keep me conscious. I somehow ended up thinking about the characters in the movie CLOSER (which I saw for the second time last night) and perhaps, when Jude Law and Clive Owen started talking to me I should've maybe thought I was dreaming! Ah, but no, it took the chiming of the clock tower to make me bolt upright and exclaim "Sonuvabitch!" in realization that my next class had just started. I don't like being late for class, but I do feel a sense of accomplishment that I fell asleep on Bascom Hill, if I had had it on my list of things to do in college, I would cross it off right now.
