Essay to write
In my dream I had this essay still to write. It was my very last one. Except it was on top of all the others i had to write in waking life. So it was unexpected. It was to be 15 pages. i wrote ten pages and it came to me easily enough, but after that, i didn't know what else i would write. i gave it to the TA to look it over as did two other students i know. the TA looked them over and handed them back to the other students. It took her a few minutes longer to go through mine and i sat on the ground against the wall and watched her. then, when it was ready, she eyeballed me and i came over an picked it up. i was too embarrassed to look at the mark right there so i left straight away. she gave me a 9/20 but without comment, so i wasn't sure if she gave that to me because it was incomplete. i was disappointed but decided to head home. there was this crossing at a cement river with an elevator on the other side. i met meg and glo there. they had cameras because they were making a video, and i joked that they got them to document my beauty by faking modesty "oh you guys surely dont need to go to those lengths-just for me!" the smiled but didnt think it was all that funny. they bore my presences, as we piled into the elevator. i made small talk with glo, while the elevator went up and down the floors non-sensically. then meg was gone, we got off at the same floor as we got on, and glo ran to meg who was standing at a bus stop without saying good by. there is was this giant hill of ice which was then covered in snow. in the ice was frozen foot prints that could be used, if one was careful, to climb the steep hill, but you had to find them under the slippery snow. as i did this, engineer dave was there and prodded me along to climb, but insisted that i also cover the tracks behind me so that his friend matt below would not know our trick. the whole time i dreamt this, i felt like i should be writing an essay, not doing whatever i was doing, much like back in school.
