In the morning

I woke up early this morning and decided to step outside just for a little bit. The sun was already out and the morning was nice and bright but the air was neither hot nor humid as it is typically in the afternoons. As I stepped closer to the railing looking over the center court I was greeted by a cool and gentle breeze, another rare but pleasant occurrence in a country where the sun beats down on you like a hammer for the majority of the day. For a moment everything was surreal but then as the wind swirled about and changed its direction towards me it carried with it a scent that so vividly reminded me of where I was... A foul and wretched odor of cat shit knocked me back a couple of steps and took the drowsiness out from my eyes in an instance.

How would you like to wake up to that every morning? I guarantee that it would do a better job of perking you up in the morning than a cup of Folgers. For the past week the odor from the cat shit around outside my dormitory room has gotten really bad. Could this have anything to do with why I'm sick?
