Shooting Star

I got home late tonight. This is not unusual. I was kind of irritated that I had to drive around the block to find a parking spot...this is the one not-so-great thing about living in CA. There is very little parking. Anyway, as I was walking from my car to my house, I saw a long shooting star. I have not seen one in quite awhile. I have been in sort of a motivational slump lately, and it has been difficult to get things done for both school and work. I started to think that it was interesting that people make wishes on shooting stars when the stars or meteors are really self-destructing. But because shooting stars are both beautiful and rare, and I got to see one, it gave me a little bit more hope. I was glad I got to see it.
