"Write about waking up. "
______________________________________
The alarm is set for five in the morning, a constant factor, almost all my days, though my mood at waking up is not constant. Most of the days, I actually wake up before the alarm rings, around five to fifteen minutes earlier; only go try to catch a few winks more till the alarm rings and I put it to snooze for another fifteen minutes. It is this interval, between waking up and getting out of bed, that is both reflective and determinative of my mood. I personally love that hour, the transition from night to day, from sleep to wakefulness, from rest to work.
Some days, I am at peace, not too eager to jump out of bed and greet the day, but not morose enough to want to wallow in bed. Then there are days, when I skip out of bed, full of enthusiasm and ideas bursting out, those are good days. The worst are those days when I hate everything, hate that it is already time to get up, to start yet another routine boring day in my mundane life; on such days the only reason I drag myself out of bed is because getting up is the only way I can get coffee.
Such days are far and few between; most of the days, irrespective of the enthusiasm levels that I possess, I do get up in a nice mood, despite the hour I have slept at. I just have to get up early, which sometimes, means that I run short of sleep. And on those days, when I do not have to go to office or have nothing planned for the day, I can snooze in my chair, between a cup of coffee and the morning newspaper, which is the best part of waking up early. Not to mention the general peaceful air broken only by the chirping of sparrows.
