Weird dreams

These last 2 weeks I have been having the weirdest dreams. I've been really stressed out. And when I get stressed out, I tend to have really vivid dreams. Sometimes they'll be nightmares, but mostly they're just odd. This week they were all education themed. One night I dreamt I was back in sixth grade science class. We were dissecting frogs (an experiment I did not enjoy the first time), and somehow I was the kid with the scalpel. Of course it wasn't just not knowing what I was doing, but there was of course the entire class egging me on and pushing me to get it done. I end up panicking and waking up about 2am. The next night it was my calculus classroom, same situation. I'm at the board trying to do a calculation in gibberish, being harassed by my classmates. The rest of the week is was the same idea: English class where I hadn't read the book, Spanish class where I'm pretty sure everyone was speaking German, choir where the music is in the wrong clef, etc.

You know it's been a long stressful week, when the best dream you've had is one where you're teaching (something you understand) and the prof in the class is just giving you crap (in an annoying teasing way) and you get to the point where you just sort of tell them to shut up in front of the students. It was more frustrating than it was scary, but still not exactly restful sleep.

Last night was great. I slept for about 11 hours and woke up totally refreshed, not remembering my dream at all. :)

April weekends

I just solidified plans for this weekend today when it hit me: my April weekends are all over the place, and well so very me. Keeping with my new reality of being around Dubuque much more often than I have in the past, I'll be here for 3 of the 4 weekends. Ok, and by here I mean mostly here. I'll explain below. April 6-7 Julien Dubuque International Film Festival --I went to the festival last year with Gretchen. We had so much fun! We ended up seeing a different set of films than we originally thought, but it was still a blast. I was lucky enough to attend the Beloit International Film Festival with Kyle and his family last month, and this year he's coming down to spend the weekend watching films with me. Plus Nicole will be around for the weekend so she's coming along too! April 13-14 Twins game with Amy--We've got tickets to the Twins-Mets game on Sunday so I'll be driving back up to The Cities (I was just there over St. Patrick's Day weekend). I have...

About me

I feel like it's only fair I do a little bit of an intro for my new BEDA buddies: Christina , Autumn , and Nicola . For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, a bunch (read over 200) of us participating in Blog Every Day in April signed up to have Maureen Johnson (the Churchill of BEDA as Alex Day called her) to match us up with BEDA buddies for moral support for the rest of the month. What we do with these buddies is up to us. I'm not quite sure yet what we'll do, if anything other than comment on each other's blogs. But I feel like I do the least on my blog to give an idea of who I am. So this post is hoping to rectify that. So here goes! I'm a midwestern born and bred. At 24, I've never lived more than 200 miles (a 3 hour drive) from the city I was born in. However, my parents threw us in the van and took us on driving vacations all over the country, where I fell in love with history and roadtrips. These two loves served me well in colleg...

Booklist

I found this in my RSS feed this morning and thought it was a nice way to start the day. It is a list created by the National Endowment for the Arts, and a blogger writes that they claim most American adults have read only six of these hundred books. I've read 23, but about half have been for school; however, some of those I chose to read for a class assignment. :) Here’s what you do: 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. (Or in my case turn them green.) 4) Reprint this list on your own blog. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling 5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee 6 The Bible (um, how many people have actually sat down to read the Bible? Like, straight through? I'm counting it because I read at least a chapter every night.) 7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte (I own it, but haven't read ...
