School Memories?

I couldn't see the front of the classroom. The blackboard was a blur of chalk lines and huge letters I couldn't make out. It was like I couldn't blink the grogginess of sleep from my eyes. Everyone else seemed prepared, but I couldn't find my notebook for the class. I knew it was science. I knew it was in an old notebook from last year, but I just couldn't seem to find it. Then music starts and a big man with a beard comes in. Is he in overalls? I can't really see him either. And...I can tell this is going to be a long semester. What kind of arrogant prick of a professor has his own entrance music?

Earlier, I'd seen some friends of mine, chatted about college. I saw my old roommate in our apartment. I'd even gotten into a sort of questionable situation with an old friend of mine, and he almost let slip some secrets to a group of people that included my boyfriend, which could have been kind of disruptive. We were all watching Mean Girls, when Lindsay Lohan turns into a gigantic pregnant lesbian and starts to beat the shit out of everyone in the gymnasium, even my ex boyfriend, Steve.

I'd yelled out the window at two kids I thought were friends of mine. "GET A JOB!" They both looked up. It was 9 AM. They weren't people I knew. And there they were, in my class. I apologized, but they thought it was funny, since they were listening to the same song I was at the time, one that said, "Get a job" in the lyrics. And I couldn't figure out how to sit right in my desk so I had some space to write on. And...holy cow...I had to pee.

Could I wait 50 minutes to pee? How long was this class, anyway? I didn't know...so...I woke up.

My dreams...oh my gosh...they're so weird lately.

Wow. What did you eat/drink before bed last night? :)

I have *loads* of school-related dreams/nightmares, by the way. They usually end up being about missing class or forgetting a project or test -- or something like that. Ugh.

Last night, I had a dream in which my parents told me about their favorite comedians as we drove to some unknown locale in an old VW van. The name of their favorite comedienne (a female): Clean Bread. Ha!

That's almost as odd as mine. Wow! I think school nightmares will be something I have forever.

Dude! Stay off the cheese-based suppers! I dreamt the other night about two sets of conjoined twins, both of which were adults and had taken the decision to be separated. The odd thing was, one set of twins was a couple of african american men in the forties who were both doctores. How weird would that be to be examined by them?
