that one little sleep snippet of an hour felt better and more fulfilling than the past week all together. it's so quiet, so tranquil and quiet and warm and good in here, just the soft light of my bedside lamp, and silence. blessed silence. they've been doing construction work just outside my window on our side of the dorm with particularly loud machinery and man chatter all the bloody damn day long. i feel inexplicably sated. so incredibly grateful. i would've given anything for peace like that come soon. people can go insane from long bouts of sleep deprivation i've heard, and only now do i sense the tenuous grasp i've had on mine lately. so much manna from the heavens lately...
