good morning!

It's warm in my bed. I'm usually under three layers; my sheet, comforter, and floral patterned quilt. Since at home I'm used to sleeping with a minimum of three pillows and stretching out in my full sized bed, here adjustments had to be made. But I've made my twin cozy, using my fleece-like blanket as stand in pillow number two and three. My teddy bear and floppy bunny also sleep with me, although more than usual they end up on the floor.
I always know when its going to be a sunny morning by how lit up the blinds are. To shield us from the annoying blinking orange light from the building across the street, we always sleep with the salmon colored blinds closed, but regardless I can tell when I open my eyes. If its a sunny morning (more times than not) the blinds kind of glow and and the small lines of light look almost white compared to the 70's look of our lovely Redlands provided amenities. When the blinds are the same color, I know clouds are present.
Lately we've been having and warmer than usual January, leading to a good chuck of the student body laying out on the quad last saturday. However, the dorms on the west side of campus have not gotten the memo and instead of switching our vents to the option of cool air, they are still seeping with heat. Ok so when its 80 out like it was yesterday, I'm hot and tired from classes and walking to them in capris (because the weather man said 70) turning on the cool air sounds like the only sane action. However, the vent still blow heat as if we were in Minnesota, needing to be comforted by the hot air to counter the below twenty wind chill. This leads us to not only keep our vent off altogether, but keep our windows open and lights off (for the most part) to try and tone down the temperature.
This happening is what has led me to be writing this at 8am when it is the only day I do not have class till 1pm. With the windows open, the racing sound of cars go by on the street that is about 15 yards away from my little sleeping cocoon. Sometimes if I'm lucky I wake up to honking or a baseball player yelling at his friend to grab his glove in the car. Other times I get to hear parts of rap songs that really cool guys are blast on their way to work? Not quite sure. But in the end, the 70's inspired blinds do not act as a sound barrier and thus I am left with the cool air from my window and the daily sounds of traffic.
Good morning!
