I dreamed that my room turned into a glass box. The drapes were all pulled back making me feel exposed as I stared out into a sea of stars. It was gorgeous & if a person could record dreams I would have wanted this one put to memory.
Has anyone ever had something like this happen.

I made this magic trick for Humanities and I think that it’s be a hit. It took me a while initially to make it but once I found out the trick it became easier to make and then reproduce.

We got my financial aide confirmation today. I’m going to take English, History, Sociology, & psychology. Not too heavy a course load just yet. It’s a good thing too seeing that I wouldn’t have been able to afford the books. Almost all the books were first editions, just published, so we wouldn’t have been able to find used ones.
Nervous but excited.

I had this dream where I was around this big crowd of people. It was almost like the blacktop of a playground. There were children and adults everywhere doing various things but nobody really seemed in a hurry.
There was a rather informal school being held although with the atmosphere being so easy going the kids probably weren’t working too hard. I stayed outside and joined a group that was dancing. I was hesitant at first to dance but once I got a bit of courage running through me I thought of how it was almost like skipping. I don’t remember much as to the style of dance but I think it was some Latin dance.
We had fun. We were planning on dancing at some function and were practicing as my dream edged towards a close.

It’s one of those dreams where you’re living in a new house. As we walked through the house everything seemed perfect…enough rooms for everybody mixed with a a warm feeling as if the walls were emitting this pure happiness.
The walls were an orange color not the color of orange peels but more like the color of pumpkins. I think orange is a very great color for the inside of a house although not everyone will or has to agree with me.
I’ve dreamed of houses a lot lately…
Each house has something new about it.
1) The orange walled house
2) The house with many people in it that had patch jobs & might have needed some work but reminded me of family because of how big it was & how many friends were surrounding us. It was a house that had been lived in and we were trying to bring in a whole community to live in this house/apartment.
3)The real old tiny house that we held a party in. I was rather antisocial and ill feeling during that dream but I loved the old styled house that was smack in the middle of a big field or park. I wasn’t so much a drinking party as it was one of those let’s spend the night dancing and wake up to breakfast with friends.

Well we pulled out an emergency loan at the school for tuition but if the fafsa comes through it will cancel it out. I really need the fafsa to come through or I can’t afford my books as they’re all new books rather than something you can find used. The books cost at least two hundred and fifty dollars which makes me wince.
If worst comes to worst I won’t attend this semester but the one after it. Who knows Shruggs.

We went and after standing in line for over an hour were told we had to leave & come back tomorrow because we needed to receive an e-mail that gives us our school password to proceed(to get financial aid).
Oh, we were MAD! My family and I are wondering if we’ll have to wait & sign me up for the next semester rather than this one. I’M REALLY ANGRY although rather than throwing things & swearing I’m sulking and boiling under the surface.
Reminder wear good shoes rather than those awful sandals. I think they must finally be too small or something. If you have to stand bad shoes are a nightmare.

I’m going to leave in a couple of hours to go see this college and choose my classes. I wonder how many classes will point directly to my dental hygienist degree and which are just nonsense but required anyhow. I dressed up just to help calm my nerves…I figure if I look nice even if I make some goof ups I’ll be better received.
If all goes well I’ll be a Dental Hygienist in a little over three years. Crosses fingers :)

When I get sleepy enough I’ve been known to see weird things.
Once I thought I saw nats and moths everywhere for like thirty minutes although people kept assuring me that there was nothing there. Freaked me out because I thought I was being attacked by a plague like(bible) amount of these stupid bugs. I don’t know why it scared me so much…did I think they’d cover me and slowly start to eat me? I kept slapping my arms trying to swat at the nonexistent pests.
The other time I was almost fifteen and I saw a figure in my room. Me and my imagination named him vampire as I’d been reading many horror stories during that time. I completely freaked thinking they’d come for me…you know the whole we will kidnap you and change you against you will. I thought no way do I want to be a fourteen almost fifteen year old for eternity. So what do we do? I called on God to save my panicking self. Then I tried to bribe the (supposedly a) vampire individual saying come back later when I’m older. I figured given time I could run screaming and leave town if mr. creepy shadow guy turned out to be real. I’d been hiding under the covers and when I came out it was gone. I’ll figure out if mr. creepy was real if he ever comes back I guess. LOL, that’s not likely as I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t want me anymore. Unless I’m lunch that is.
Another time my mother told me when my father was out of town I ran to her to tell her a man was in my room. I can’t remember if I actually saw someone or if I simply wanted to be near my mother and lied. I wonder what the truth is and will probably never know.
I saw this shadowy figure briefly. There were more colors to it than shadows. It disappeared as soon as I tried to get a closer look.
Has anyone else seen weird stuff when sleepy?

We planted a Buddleias bush in our garden. It was lovely at first but I keep forgetting to get up early enough to water it… my friend told me if I watered it in the heat of the day I’d scorch it’s roots! I suppose I could water it at night but it’s weird going out in your pajamas to pour water over it. Lol, that’s what I’ll do if I must though.
The Buddleia bush attracts butterflies and is gorgeous. It’s a perennial so it’ll keep coming back. It’s a great hardy little thing.

It’s hard to give when you feel you don’t have much to begin with. That’s the lesson I have to learn, to give even when I don’t have a lot of something or other…I mean it’s way easy to give when I’ve got a pile of something. I mustn’t be greedy regardless of what the deal is.

I wonder what exactly Kosher is. I know some of the rules don’t cook meat in milk and don’t mix meat with cheese. Only some ocean creatures can be eatten; no squid, crab, lobster, clams, or shrimp. And no pork. Some parts of an animal are not allowed for food. An animal must be raised(I think) and killed in a kosher way. No dogs, cats, horses…
No blood.
The hard part is knowing when you’ve messed up in the preparation and made it non kosher. How do you properly store things so they don’t get to be non kosher? And I realize a lot of my favorite foods are non-kosher…which makes you wonder what will I eat now?
In all honesty I’m not going to practice kosher just yet as it’s too difficult but if I change my mind someday in the future (I’m young, I’ve got time) how difficult of a transition is it?

I’ve covered my walls with maps out of national geographic magazines. I’ve got the British Isles, Italy, Africa, Asia-Pacific, the U.S., and Mexico so far. The funny thing is I thought they’d be expensive and they cost less than two dollars for that many. I love how detailed they are and how they remind me of how big the world is.
I keep telling myself if I keep thinking about far away places I won’t be able to stop myself from traveling when I get the funds to do so. Maybe I can travel abroad to learn languages (another goal).

The lightning flashes, shadows writh, and you approach the creepy building. Underneath your arm are all your paper; transcript(check), Fafsa papers(check), a school catologue filled with a list of classes offered(check), and finally your courage_ wavering but there_ (check).
“We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz…” You start humming hoping you won’t faint.
AH Hah! Eureka, we have found it. You open the door and stare at the very unintimidating figure gesturing for you to take a seat. Breathing a sigh of relief your day begins.

I’ve checked out the Jewish book of why book one and two. It’s informative to say the least but I swear the stuff goes in one ear and out the other. I wonder if I’m putting to much stress on myself trying to remember the billions of rules people of the Jewish faith lead their lives by. It’s just if this is the religion for me I’m toast! I’ll be studying for like five years before I dare approach a sighs whatever it is they call the leader of the congregation, a priest right? Oh, I remember a rabbi. It’s just a complicated process learning the what not to do & what is a must but I’m getting there.

I’m reading this book. While I’m not sure self-help books work I just said why not and grabbed it off the library shelf. It hits upon several things that really make sense like knowing; who you blame, who all was involved in the making of the unforgivable event, what actually happened to you rather than another person also hurt(you must focus on your injury & only your injury to heal), & what moral codes were broken by the person who hurt you…
And much more…

I get really paranoid and jump at the slightest things as I try to fall asleep. It takes me twice as long to fall asleep because I feel so jittery and shaky.

I used to have dreams about vampires frequently. Most of the dreams were of being bitten and not being able to move or scream until they left at which time you wake up out of breath.
The only time they didn’t take blood from me they still managed to scare me silly.
I was on the bus and all the sudden poofs in magic genie like VAMPIRE! Unable to scream you look at the guy frozen in place. He grins showing his fangs. Your eyes widen as he taps a fang in a mock salute. When your own finger taps on of your teeth you realize you’ve just copied him.
He grins more shaking his head before getting up to leave. A little redhead follows him off the bus. You’re surprised that your still alive and feel relief fill you. It’s over

The only part of my dream I remember was someone handing me a stack of books. When I opened them I realized they were all about sign language.
I wonder if this is my subconscious giving me an encouraging nudge in the direction of taking college level ASL classes.
I’ve yet to choose this years classes so I might very well end up taking that class although I know I should take Spanish first because Spanish is the money maker as much as I hate to admit it.
