A Dream...When I Should Have Been Awake
I got up late this morning. I was having a rather divine dream - well....if Kate was reading this she would determine to find me absolutely hopeless and give up, but not the point - when I suddenly woke up for no reason at all. Ugh. Don't you hate when that happens? Although, today...not so bad. Reason: My alarm was set for an hour earlier - woke up 6:35, alarm set 5:38. Not good. Had to leave to be here by 7:20, so not having that extra hour (whose purpose was actually to get some more homework done before I had to leave, 'cuz I don't have done everything I should have done for today) was not a good thing.
Anyway, about my dream...
I was at the library (here), or at least, somewhere like the library. It wasn't exactly MY library, 'cuz architecturally it was different, and much larger, but I worked here, the copy machines were the same (yes, I said I dreamed about the copy machines) and the staff was for the most part the same as well.
Okay, so I was at work when I realized that I had forgotten everything I needed for that day - or all of my folders with all of my homework in any case. So I got Nikki (who doesn't even usually work circ desk) to cover me, and then I ran home, but when I got back, somehow I ended up on the stairs, which were not the regular stairs, they were those scary crazy ones which are suspended from the ceiling with steel posts, and as I was running up them I could not actually get up them, it was like an escalator, except it wasn't supposed to be, and then when I got to the landing, the stairs fell and I rolled back down to the floor (this is not the good part). Then I don't remember what happened, but I ended up over by the photocopier, trying not to cry and trying to ignore the fact that I'd just seen John (whom I have been half in love with since my freshman year of high school, who is now engaged and planning to be married next month - and who in my dream is marrying someone entirely different from the woman he is marrying in real life, dream girl is someone I've literally known since I was five and who now goes to Carroll with me). Of course, John, being a guy, refuses to be ignored and comes over and wants to know why I'm crying and is determined to make me feel better, which works, but mostly just 'cuz I miss him so much. Then we end up dancing for some unknown reason, and then his fiancee walks in and one of my friends is all, "hide" and the other one practically waves her over because she doesn't approve of what is happening. So then she finds out about us (apparently this isn't just a spur of the moment thing, and we are - naturally - madly in love) and when she confronts him he's holding my hand really tight and tells her that he's made his decision, he doesn't want to marry her, and then we run off together. It was incredible.
And then I woke up and wondered why I was awake, and then I looked at the clock, realized I was supposed to have been up for at least half an hour (because I'm one of those crazy people who uses her snooze alarm) but that I hadn't heard my alarmclock due to the massive amounts of rain that were coming down - and the thunder and lightening of course, so I turned the volume up a little bit and then got up to go take a shower.
Now I'm tired. Drooping a lot. Need coffee. Can't have coffee. Am sitting at the circ desk. Library policy. Ughh.
