It’s early this morning. I woke up because…well, I was uncomfortable. We have no control over the heat where we live. It’s all centralized. So one minute I could be fine, the next I’m sweating buckets under my comforter.
Anyway, the other night I was walking home from the Engineering Complex. The night was exceptionally clear. I could readily make out Orion and Cassiopeia. Actually, those are the only two I can easily pick out, but if I took some time I’d be able to pick out more. Well, it was so clear and dark, that I was able to discern this sort of brighter band across the sky. At first I thought it was just some precipitation or condensation in the sky. When I realized it was the Milky Way, I just had to stop in my tracks. This was the first time I’ve been able to spot it. I suppose the city lights always just drowned it out. I was amazed.
I guess it’s nothing terribly important. It’s not life changing or anything. I guess though, that it points out that I’m still a romantic. I’ve always been told so by my female roommates. I’ve never been sure whether to believe them or not. It’s not like I’m romancing every person I come across, right? Still, the person I fall in love with…is probably going to be a very lucky person.
Is that wrong to say? It’s not humble, right? Hmm…well, I deserve a bit of a “me” moment, so there. =p
