Confusing Places

Whenever I am about to go on a trip especially when I go back home to my parents house, I often wake up in the middle of the night and am very confused as to where I am. This week was no exception. I'll be moving back to DC come next week and so I've been slowly dismantling my room here at school and packing up. Last week I decided to take everything down off the walls. This led to one of the biggest and most disappointing confusions ever. I woke up maybe around 3 or 4 in the morning and without sitting up I started to look around. When I didn't see anything on the walls I thought I might be at my parents house then decided that that wasn't right. My next thought was that I was at the beach and I got so excited. Anytime I am at the beach I am excited and since I was in the middle of studying for finals and writing papers, the beach would have been a wonderful place to be. To my dismay however, when I sat up and took a second look around, I realized I was in my very own bed, still at school and that I still had all my finals to take and a whole house to pack up and clean. It was so very unfortunate. I could feel my heart sink and the joy and elation drain from my body. That disappointment however did not last long and reality set and I knew that I didn't even have time to be disappointed.
