Life In...

So, last night, our Upper Room club had our Christmas party.  It was a lot of fun and I had a lot of good desserts.  After the party, most of us ended up hanging out till about 4:30 am.  Two of my friends and I decided  a while ago that we wanted to watch the sunrise sometime.  We decided that tonight was the night.  So, Danielle, Chelsea, and I went and grabbed a couple blankets and warm clothing.  When I left my appartment, I forgot my sweatshirt on my night stand but decided that I would be fine.  We went to a place called Mount Soledad which is a small hill that over looks all of La Jolla.  It is very windy and cold up on this hill since we only brought two blankets (so I wasn't very covered) and I was in a t-shirt and jeans.  After about half an hour, it started to rain.  It was at this point we realized how unprepared we were.  We covered ourselves in the blanket and tried to stay warm.  The rain stopped after about thirty minutes but the clouds were still thick.  This was a problem, because all we could see were clouds to the east (where the sun was supposed to rise).  We decided to stick it out and see what would happen.  We started seeing sunlight, but the clouds still covered the sun.  We waited till about 7:30 when it started to really pour.  It ended up being a very cold, wet, night with no sunrise, but it was one of the most fun and memorable nights of my college year.  It was a lot of good laughs and conversation.  I will never forget it.
