Heads up!

"Find a penny, pick it up, and all day you'll have good luck."

It's 4 in the morning and I'm walking home from campus after having spent the night locked in the Psychology building leeching off of the wireless internet on campus. It's a pleasant enough morning, a slight breeze but not too cold and these sorts of nightly campus raids have become quite common for me since the end of the semester. As I'm pacing towards home I notice a penny on the ground under my stride. I think nothing of it initially, only to stop a few paces later for a brief moment as if to contemplate and take delight in the humor of the situation. I turn back to pick the penny up only to find not one penny but two, faced up.

Silly, but maybe it's a good omen.

Now to keep up the momentum and go out for my morning jog.
