Odd Dreams...

I had a very fucked up dream the other night.

First, I was with my roommates. My adventure began when we decided to volunteer to hang out with mentally handicapped children. Every volunteer is paired up with a 'buddy', and we set off for the local museum...which doesn't exist in real life...

Anyways, when we get there, everyone gets tickets and heads into the museum. My buddy, on the other hand, wanders in another direction. I turn around to find no buddy in sight. I quickly go in search for the kid, and somehow wind up at a crazy college party, which is residing right next to the museum gift shop. I look into the party, and I see a girl from my dorm, so I chat with her for a bit. I completely forget about the kid and go to see who else is there. In a sea of people, I notice both Barack Obama and his wife, who are giving a speech to drunken college students.

I go back into the party, where I start to notice that everything gets a little...kinky. And by that, I mean everybody is having sex everywhere. Not like slipping away into bedrooms with roofies ready to be dropped into drinks...no, everyone is having sex EVERYWHERE! Couches, tables, against walls...

I then had a bad feeling about this party, which I had finally realized it was a swingers party. I go back outside, only to see a mass of people cheering as the Obama's were doing the Bump and Grind.

Then I woke up.

First Week Back...

It's been a crazy week, that's for sure.

Midnight Sledding = Amazing, even if the hill refuses to allow you to sled down it.

My first day back, last Sunday, was spent with my two remaining roommates, Mike Lindsay and Alan. We roamed the streets of Mt. Pleasant, looking for essential supplies for the apartment for next semester (aka - Shot Glasses). We ended up partying the first night back, which was AMAZING! Just the three of us, together, having a good time. I was in a bit of a rut back in Greenville. They helped pull me out.

Classes haven't been too bad. I ended up dropping my Economics class. Why? Right now, I'm a junior, ahead on my credits, and I need the time saved for my important 500-level classes.

A non-bullshit answer? Class was on the other side of campus at an inconvenient time and I hated the teacher. She reminded me of Mrs. Kroodsma. Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if they were sisters. They look and act the same. It's creepy.

I also watched a three hour movie last night. It was entertaining AND saved me from potentially being apart of a cop raid!!! Mike, Alan, and I were suppose to go to a party after the movie. When we had gotten there, we had discovered the place was empty. The neighbors told us that the cops had busted the place. All the residents were arrested on charges of running a drug house about an hour before we had gotten there. Scary stuff. A kid on our floor had a closer shave, since he was AT the place and went outside to smoke a cigarette when vans pulled up and cops surrounded the building. He just kinda walked away...

An interesting time...

My Time In Greenville...

Y'know, I bitched a lot about being home. About it being boring, how the town had nothing to do in it, how most people I knew had either found escape from this hellhole, or were just busy with their lives (no offense to those people, though; having shit to do is understandable), and that I'd rather have my nose in a math textbook at CMU than stay another minute here.

This would be the part where I have a change of heart, realizing all the good that's taken place over the last month, and say that I'll miss having to pack my stuff and leave this town.

But really, that'd be a total lie. It really has been a terrible month. Coming to the realization that you have about three friends left back home - one who's always busy, one who's usually states away, and one who's so apathetic towards everything you wonder where you stand in his book - is not a comforting thought at all.

In honesty, I can't wait to drive away from this place. Only one summer left to go, then I'll be living in an apartment, with family obligations the only thing dragging me back.

Goodbye, Greenville. You won't be missed.
