Goodnight, Sleepy Mind

Since I'm on a hiatus from school, my daily routine has changed dramatically. For me, the sun doesn't rise until 12:00p.m., when I wake up. It doesn't set until 4:00a.m., when I attempt to sleep. The soft green light of my stereo illuminates my bedroom, causing shadow figures to dance across my walls and keep me entertained while I try to lull myself to sleep. Josh Groban is usually the lullaby of choice, though his music just causes my mind to wander over wedding days and honeymoons and first dances and heartbreak. At some point I realize my eyes may be closed, but my mind is never asleep.
