Day Two--08:12, Dorm 1-12B
Whoever came up with the idea that Jedi trainees should wake up before dawn is/was a SADIST!!!!! Its horrible! No one was meant to rise that early! And not only are we expected to get up before the sun, we are supposed to run through the forest. HUH?! And how is anyone supposed to run cross country in Jedi robes? Everything gets caught on them!
"Avee-Lin," Roanie cheerfully said, totally mispronouncing my name, while I still sat on my bed, covered in my quilt, trying to wake up, "I love running before the sun--its so exhilarating. And its so awesome to sit on the top of the temple once we reach it and watch the sun rise. Its just so cool!!"
First, I do not wake up EVER in a good mood. I could get up at noon and still be pissy. Second, there is NOTHING cool about running.
Running=Sweating=Bad
And to top it off this girl is way too freaking happy--ESPECIALLY since I should still have had 5 more hours of sleep. I would have loved to smack her at that moment. But I was too tired to exert that much energy. Instead I groggily mumbled, "Sounds nice." I then look around for my boots and just as I barely manage to put them on, Raonie takes my hands and pulls me out of bed and in her way too happy voice, declared, "You will so love this!"
I am then dragged out of the dorm to join the swarm of Jedi wannabes.
After a few other stragglers join--it was good to know I wasn't the last one there--Master Skywalker appears and leads us in the direction of some temple in the forest. Right away Raonie is in the lead and I am very last. And it stayed that way the entire time. I stopped and walked most of the way, so I was even farther behind. The sun had already rose by the time I got there. Typical.
Then he gives a lecture on endurance and strength. Who do you think THAT was directed to? Hmmm?
So is THIS how I am going to spend every morning here?? What have I done to deserve this?!
