A few days ago, L was having trouble with her algebra homework. She asked our mom for help, but the problem was so hard that not even our mom (math/business major and was really good at it) couldn’t figure it out, mainly because kids in her generation weren’t taught this kind of math.
She asked me, but since I haven’t been in a math class in a couple years (ToT now I’m starting to feel old), I didn’t know (even though I tried solving it in my sketchbook). Worm88 explained eventually, but I wasn’t there to hear what he was saying.
Just last night, I ended up dreaming that Kindaichi (from The Kindaichi Case Files) was given an extremely complicated equation to solve, which would lead to the identity of the murderer in a case he was involved in.
Uhh…I was pretty sure he figured it out, but I woke up before I saw him solve it. But the instance I woke up, the answer came to me…
And if you plug 0 in as y, you get 11*0 = 13*0 which be 0 = 0.
Now the question is, where were these dreams when I still in school? D:
Only this one was a bit more stressful than the rest. XD The entire dream was about me trying to find my cap and gown, since Commencement was supposed to start in about an hour. Apparently, the students have lockers in a warehouse in this dream, so I went over to see if I could find my stuff in my locker. Nothing there. Then L’s friend’s mom said I might be able to find it at her house (which was also combined with some kind of wild animal exhibit and a food storage/warehouse area for a grocery store).
There was nothing unusual about the storage area (other than it was part of someone’s residence), but the wild animal exhibit…ehehehe…
It had hyenas. And other animals, like parrots. There was also a path that led to the storage area, going right through the exhibit (which was a shortcut from the kitchen). You could also buy meat like frozen spare ribs from the butcher there (either to give to the hyenas or to take home for dinner…). Just to increase the nightmarish aspect a bit, there were also animal parts from herbivores who were unlucky enough to get too close to the hyenas. There weren’t just body parts. There were chunks of body parts (ex. a part of a parrot head). X_x I only went in there to see if I could find my stuff there. Whenever I was in there, I always bought meat and ended up having to give them to the hyenas so they wouldn’t come after ME. O_O
Pretty much the only reason why I was so bent on finding my grad gear was so I could actually walk in the ceremony and if I couldn’t do that, I wouldn’t be able to graduate. Then I would have to wait a whole ‘nother year until I could finish school. :O (Even IRL, I would still be able to get my diploma, even if I wasn’t present at the ceremony ^^;)
I planted my carnivorous plants (the ones I got for Christmas) on Dec. 28 last year. Err…two of them, that is (Venus Flytrap and Sundew, the others are waiting to germinate in the fridge). It takes about 3 months for these seeds to grow. Slow growers, yup. :yes: At the moment, I’m trying to make sure they aren’t too cold (60/70°F around this time of year is best) and that they get enough sunlight (indirect sunlight = good, direct = bad).
Aaaand since I haven’t grown plants in a really long time, I actually had a dream about keeping plants. X3
My dad gave the three of us (Worm88, L and me) these cactus plants as presents. They were already planted in dry soil in these little plastic pots with hard plastic domes over them. I didn’t water mine right away. I knew from experience (in real life) that if you water them too much, you could drown them. So I resorted to just bringing it around with me everywhere I went.
One day, I must’ve given it so much love that it visibly right before my eyes that it grew a non-cactus-like sprout. O_o Then it grew another one. I took it out into our backyard, when the second sprout suddenly shot right out of the dome and straight into the cloudy sky. At first, I was surprised and happy, since I’ve never had this luck with plants before! (as seeing as how I’ve only kept cacti, I don’t know how true this is XP).
Then I started to become a little worried, because it reminded me of the Jack and the Beanstalk story…I don’t know if I actually believed a giant would come down from the clouds, but I didn’t want the oversized stalk to break and fall on all those houses. The fact that there was an oval-shaped Venus flytrap-like head at the end didn’t help either (Little Shop of Horrors, anyone?). So I knew the right thing to do. The problem was that I saw it as my pride and joy (almost as a pet or friend). But my heroic ambition was much stronger, so I broke off the stalk and mushed it up in my hands, head and all.
And because I didn’t want it to regenerate itself from its remains (a la Maijin Buu), I decided to burn it. Since I couldn’t think of any safe place to burn a giant plant mass, I looked around the kitchen for a pan to fry it in (right when the relatives were over, cooking from some kind of gathering). …Unfortunately, we had just recently remodeled our kitchen (not IRL), so everything was now mixed up. I found the pots and pans where the old oven used to be (the oven is now under the stove where the pans were).
I had to go back to college again at another school (is this going to be a new series of dreams?*). And once again, instead of commuting to school everyday, I lived in a dorm about five miles nearby. This time, it was at the community college I went to before the CSU…which was right nextdoor to CalPoly, right next to the freeway. So yeah, I got to go to school right next to Jeidai and her brother. :3 (Sometimes we went home together.) On days where they didn’t have school, I carpooled to school with some classmates.
In addition to being next to the freeway, they were also getting a shiny, brand-new…basketball court! 😛 At the moment, it looked like a Greek temple (with the columns and everything). But it was supposed to become something really big and impressive, because apparently, when I was late getting out of a class, I knew Jeidai and her brother would have to wait, which I didn’t like. But then I thought ‘oh well…they can admire the new basketball court.’ (because if it wasn’t big and impressive, why else would I think they would admire it? D:)
So…one day was really windy. So windy, it was causing some people to lose control of their vehicles if they weren’t careful. On the way to school is a bridge. A really one-lane bridge (one lane on each side) with no rails on the side. And just because things weren’t interesting enough apparently, it was also really windy and curvy. I wasn’t driving, but someone I knew was a careful driver drove instead (I was lucky enough to ride gunshot :D). But RIGHT when they got to the bridge, something happened to make them unable to drive anymore (had a stomach ache? A headache? Ran out of driving energy?). We sat there, wondering what to do, since he was our best driver, the only one we depended on to get us through the bridge. I mean, who would want to drive on THIS?
nope.avi
So someone else from the backseat took his place. I got a little nervous, because while he’s not exactly a dangerous driver, he can get a little cocky and impulsive. But I thought that maybe he’ll know how dangerous this situation is and know that he should drive slowly?
WRONG. He jumped behind the wheel, floored the gas and sped off, zipping down the bridge. I was tense the entire time, thinking we were going to be thrown off the edge by the wind, like that poor truck.
Well, we made it safely on the other side. But I noticed that there was something really different about my surroundings…
I was no longer in the front seat. I was now in the back.
The car resembled an F1. It had a giant spoiler in the back (where the back seats were), even though it was supposed to be a sudan.
The car had completely separated into two, almost as if it were sawed in half. The back half (which along with me, had another classmate who was just as confused as I was) was kind of gold-colored with white flecks. The front half was silver with a dull finish.
Speaking of the front half, where was it? Just a few yards away from the back half. The driver was nowhere to be found…in fact, no one (other than the confused classmate) was to be found. o_o
Then it was time to wake up, because it was 8:30 and we had to leave for Jeidai’s commencement (more on that soon :D) at 9.
