Last night of Holidays

Note: Guys, remember to sleep early, however much you wanna continue reading your favourite book, surfing the net, talking, texting whatever. Go to Sleep!!!

As you might know, school started again on Monday for the beginning of Term 2. So, on Sunday night (being a good girl I am) I decided to sleep early, get a good rest and all the rest of that. By the time I got into bed it was only 10! Record! I lay down and wished with all my heart that I would amazingly just close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep and not wake up until the end of the year. Obviously, it didn’t happen like that and I just lay there thinking & thinking about the horrors of school that awaited me the next day. Why can’t I sleep when I want to?

After maybe half an hour of tossing and turning, thinking of essays, exams & studying I heard the pitter pattering of rain. A calm and soothing sound filled my ears and at once I stopped thinking. Blissful contentment settled into my mind and then I heard a thumping beat, thumping up the staircase. It must have been my mum coming upstairs from watching tele. A few seconds passed and then, a gentle melody began playing. It was my sister tapping the keys on our piano downstairs. The electric toothbrush whirred into motion, the rain beating a solid drum base, and my sister playing a soulful tune. Ahh…. I love nights like this. Music to my ears- literally. And I can’t believe I’ve been missing these blissful moments every night for the last 4-5 years because I always sleep the latest. Now, I love getting into bed before everybody else.

I closed my eyes, and I couldn’t remember anything else the next morning. I guess that got me to sleep.

Zzzzzzzz……….
