Appreciating Princeton's simple joys

For the past week, I've been waking up early. Early for me, at least, which is around 8 a.m. It started as the result of jetlag and has evolved into a habit, shocking no one more than myself (and perhaps my alarm clock, whose snooze button I now press a mere one or two times). I'm not sure how long this pattern will last, but for now the experience of waking up early is worth it if for no other reason than the tree outside my window, whose yellow leaves are perfectly backlit by the morning sun that streams into my room and pauses to turn these leaves the color of gold.
