I cant find the answer on mtgsalvation, and a search for "morph" here generates too many results, so I have to ask here.
Im not really acqainted with the morph rule, because I did not play magic at the time this ability appeared.

"Awakening" is on the battlefield.

If I play an Exalted Angel as a faced down 2/2 creature, handle turn over, can I then morph it face up in opponents turn?

If I can, and if I do so, will she be suffering from summoning sickness on my next turn, or can she attack right away?

The basic primer from when Morph first came out-

http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/feature/87

It should answer all your questions, and I'd recommend reading it in whole to prevent further such questions.

Edit - That article does mention combat damage using the stack; as combat damage no longer uses the stack, those sections are obsolete.

You can turn it over by paying its morph cost any time you have priority.

When you turn it over will have no effect on whether or not it can attack.  It's is the same creature, so if it's been under your control continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn, it can attack.  Turning it face up just changes (pretty much all) the characteristics of the object, but it's still the same object.

Not sure what Awakening has to do with any of this.  :/

The answer is No, and has been that way for a long time.

From the FAQ:
Quote
Why can’t my opponent respond to me turning a creature face up?
Partly because it would suck if you paid 4GGG to turn your creature face up, and your opponent responded with a Shock to kill the 2/2 face-down creature. Partly because it would be difficult to confirm that you had paid the correct amount of mana without turning the card face up to prove it. Your 6/6 creature will always survive your opponent’s Shock, as long as you have enough mana.
