1) February 7, 2:27 am, my dorm
2) All the lights are off except for the red glow of the motion-sensors for the automatic lights above mine and my roommates desks. They don’t put off much light but the led-clocks of the microwave and my roommates alarm clock feel especially bright in the dark room
3) The room is completely dark. I can see mine and my roommates desks that are lit by the red-automatic sensors above them, hers is neat and mine is cluttered, one of my goals for tomorrow- or today- was to organize it. If I turn around it’ll be dark again and I can go back to sleep. I can’t read the clock on the microwave that’s close to my bed but I can see the blue-LED clock and it feels strangely bright and alien in the dark room. I can see my roommates alarm clock, the LED-clock is red and it reads 2:27 am. I realize with dread that my alarm will go off in 3 1/2 hours and I anxiously try to force myself to go back to sleep.
