  • Dream: Stress on Many Levels

    I had another dream where I showed up for Commencement sans cap and gown. But before that, our school got some new add-ons to their buildings; the most noticeable being the “arch” (a…bridge) that connected the Art Complex to another building (our school does have a bridge, but it leads from the new library to the Town Center). Today was also the day that my group and I were supposed to give a presentation in our interdisciplinary art class (which is supposed to happen in real life as well…). We met up together on the loading dock of one of the buildings, so we could all go to class together.

    Some people were setting up for Commencement nearby. They had rows of long dining tables set out, with color-alternating place mats and utensils. We decided to head over to see how things were going. And we decided to sit at the tables. Once we were all seated, we found out that our art class would be giving presentations here, which was…convenient. At the front was a model building of the Art Complex with the “arch” (bridge) attached. A lady, who was in charge of the ceremony explained that the Art Complex getting its new “arch” had been all over the news. She also explained that arches weren’t a new thing, and that buildings had arches for year. There was also another model building, which resembled the office building of my old elementary school. There was a sign above the door that read “Cal Poly“, and I thought ‘:O I was there!‘ The lady noticed my reaction, and asked if I’ve been there. I nodded eagerly (and for some reason, thought of Mocha). And I thought ‘It’s also much larger than that…it’s more like a small city…’ (which was my initial reaction as we were going through the streets. My own college has some streets intersecting it, but they’re really small and two cars heading in opposite directions on the same street have to be very careful when driving by each other).

    And that was the end.

  • Dream: Disney Channel Islands

    In the real life CSU Channel Islands, people can get around the campus by either walking, ECVs or those miniature bus-looking vehicles. In Disney Channel Islands, people can either get around by walking OR by roller coaster (should’ve been the monorail, I tell you!). 8D;

    And there was a moment where Jeidai was with me, and I needed to go to my Art & Mass Media class. So we boarded an orange roller coaster with fiery-looking decals and took off. :3

    In other school dream news, it was time for Commencement. :O Apparently, I must be carrying a lot more Commencement stress than I thought, because:

    • I forgot to bathe. I really didn’t need to actually, but since this is Commencement (a.k.a. THE actual college graduation ceremony), my mom thought it would be a good idea that I be clean. And because CSUCI doesn’t have any public bath houses like in anime (not like I would use one :3), she suggested I take one in one of the abandoned buildings. Ehe, no thanks.
    • I forgot my cap and gown. I noticed this after I got out of having to take a bath at school. When I told my mom this, it was too late. Commencement was going to start in about five minutes, and my mom told me to just go ahead anyway. I freaked out, saying “They’ll kick me out if I don’t show up in one!”
  • End of the Semester Dreams

    Dream #1 involved me staying at Jeidai‘s house, even though the year wasn’t over yet. In fact, it was during finals. Getting over to school was easy. I had my car over at her house, and when it was time for me to go to school, I would jump in it and drive over.

    But one day, when it was time to go over for my Web Design final critique, it took me about an hour to gather everything up. And when I got outside, I couldn’t find said car. ;o; I searched up and down the street, and luckily saw my mom, heading down the driveway after a visit to Jeidai’s family and decided to ask her for a ride. But then I saw the car parked in front of the next house and was relieved.
