Day 1: Battling with Nature

Last night, I decided to go out in nature and sleep outside. I went outside at about 11:30 pm. It felt so nice outside and the sky was clear for star gazing. I watched the stars and watched airplanes fly by. As i was doing this, I heard some sort of rattle. I got up and realized that the sprinklers were about to come on. I went back into my room to wait for the sprinklers to stop. I didn't want to stay in nature if i was going to get wet. Thirty minutes later, I take my second attempt at nature. I go outside at the same spot and just relax. It felt colder now at this time. I looked at the stars again while i finally fell asleep. I actually slept pretty well, little uncomfortable, but it was sleep-able. I had a dream about the woods and it started raining in my dream. I was a little confused because it was sunny in my dream right before that. I realized it was a dream and woke up to actually being rained on. Not actual rain, but from the sprinklers at 3:45 in the morning. I was getting really wet and i ran out of it. I was so tired and i just wanted to go to bed. Nature defeated me in this battle because i just went into my room and went to sleep in my nice and warm bed. This experience made me appreciate my bed and shelter more. I couldn't spend one full night in nature without going back to my room. I don't know how Chris McCandless got rid of everything he had to do this for fun. Only people that really enjoy nature will be able to do what Chris did.
