The Smell Of A Good Night

So a couple nights ago, the entire San Diego County had a blackout. This was good for a couple of reason.....1.) my spanish class got canceled...2.) the stars were brighter than ever. I love it when all we have is what mother nature decides to provide for us.

Naturally me and my friends decide to adventure into darkness and we ended up in the middle of the street looking up at the stars. And I gotta say guys, the were absolutely beautiful. Significantly more so than they are normally. We knew we couldn't stay in the middle of the street, but we all still wanted to sleep outside. So then we made a pitstop back at our apartment, grabbed as many blankets as possible and headed out to the common area. (Basically our apartments encircle a little grassy area). We laid our stuff down and Me, MaryAnn, Brock and Nick had the best nights sleep of our lives.

People kept walking by saying "hey look, bums"...which just made it THAT much more amusing to me. haha

At 1:30 in the morning, the lights came back on and people came over to tell us "you can go back to your beds now"...I didn't think that they understood WHY we were sleeping outside. We are aware that if the electricity is out, our beds do not disappear. Those two are not even remotely related. We were just enjoying the night sky and outside.

And smelling like grass the next morning was definitely worth it....
