Day Two

After the first night, I was quite tired so I slept on the third story of a parking garage next to 24 Fitness. It seems to be the best place. No one parks on the top story, and there is a building next to the parking garage that blocks the morning sun. Unfortunately, I spent a long time at the old house cooking up some food and didn't get to sleep until 2AM again. I slept until 8:30, and then moved down to the second story to catch up on some more sleep out of the sun. There is only a few cars that park on this story, but I woke up at 11:30 to the police tapping on my window (I now know what it is like to wake up to a light shining in my eyes). I crawled out of my traveling circus and tried to wipe away my sleep daze while explaining what I was doing. After checking my ID and finding out that I am an APU student, the two cop cars wrote me off as another disturbed individual and left. Apparently someone had called them because there are a lot of break-in in the area and I looked suspicions :) - They did say though that it's not technically illegal to sleep in my car, but I will probably attract attention. As far as break-ins go, I'm banking on the fact that most robbers are not looking for trouble and will not mess with a car that has someone in it, and also that they will break into one of the five or six BMW roadsters on the second level, before going to their third level and breaking into my 93' Subaru. I am however still trying to work out a good ventilation system for the car. Currently I crack all the windows, but that is not quite good enough.

It has become clear thought that I will need to change my daily routine. In the past, I stayed up until 1am and slept until 9AM. Now that I am at the mercy of the sun, I must shift my day back three hours. I will probably need to start going to sleep around 10PM and waking up with the sun at about 6AM. This is not a bad thing, but will make nighttime activity with other people a little more difficult.
