Dare to Dream

I've been watching LOST! I started last weekend with Holli and Miles. We watched both parts of the pilot episode and then two more episodes. I was hooked. That was Saturday, and right now I am beginning episode 14. Let's just say I have a lot more time on my hands since the March concerts are out of the way and the grad school audition is over.

After the first night of viewing, I had a dream. Hurley was helping someone with an injury, and he seemed to have a strong medical understanding of what he was doing. I asked him where he had studied to be a doctor. He said, "Dunkerton."

This morning I had a dream that I was graduating from UNI with my master's degree. I was scheduled to sing at the ceremony. I had on my cap, gown, and all the sweet accessories any person could ever earn while in college. Medals, funny looking collars, you name it. The problem was I got lost trying to find my seat. Yeah, I'm going to blame LOST for that one too.

The really weird thing is that prior to Saturday night I couldn't tell you the last time I woke up during a dream. **Insert Twilight Zone theme music here.**

P.S. LOST is awesome.

I'm tired at 8:45!

I went for a nice bike ride today! It was great!

I'm taking a much needed study break... Blah! The choral lit. diagnostic at the U. of Iowa is not pass/fail, but I don't want to look like an idiot.

My fridge art.

What I'm watching on TV.

Funny story of the day. I go in to talk to the Superintendent and he jokes, you can ask me anything you want as long as you're not going to quit. And I go, "oh," all sad-like. He figured it out and then felt really bad. Talk about AWKWARD! I laughed. He took it really well and was super-supportive. He once knew someone who went into the same field and did not get accepted to Mankato. This makes me look awesome! Haha.

The next step is to "leak" the info to the rest of the staff, type a letter of resignation, post the job internally, and then see my job advertised!!! How crazy is that!?! Crazy-Awesome is what it is. I don't feel like making an official announcement, which is why I'll tell a few people and the whole school will know by noon. Ah, small towns. The countdown is well underway. I'm thinking that I'll make a paper chain soon. Last year I already had one started by this time.

Refreshed!

I had a great weekend!

Friday - Teacher inservice! YAY! I spent the afternoon organizing my office. Friday night - Art Club with the teacher's. They painted. I mostly crocheted, then later tried my hand at watercolors. My "art" is lovingly attached to the fridge.

Saturday - Most of the day was spent as a couch potato. :) Then church, which was great, and hanging out with friends. We enjoyed O.P. pizza and a movie called The Visitor. I liked it, but the ending was not as conclusive as I was hoping.

Sunday - Slept in, ran errands. Bought food for two new dinners this week.

Monday - Accidentally woke up at 7:30, the time I usually leave for school. Told the principal that I'm not coming back. Woohoo! Opened all the windows in my apartment. Watched "Dancing with the Stars."

Next post will be in complete sentences, maybe.
