i started this post a month ago in response to d_c's blog entry on dreams and never got around to finishing it due to exams. :s

when i was younger, i used to think i didn't dream at all.

this notion was challenged in 8th grade when i did my project on dreams in mrs. boyce's class, but it still remains that i rarely remember my dreams. most of the time, my mind will just think oddly strange thoughts until i fall asleep or zone out (depending on my locale: in bed or in class). occasionally, this foray into the unfathomable recesses of my brain will exhibit in some truly weird dream - like that time i dreamt that wayne and garth (from wayne's world) were bill cosby jello wigglers commercial jiggly watermelons (with appropriate coloured wigs) who were trying to defeat an evil guitar - but usually i just wake up with no recollection of my REM cycles.

the one exception, however, is this dream where i'm being chased by zombies through a dank high school basement/boiler-room or darkened, semi-abandoned town. the locale must have been influenced by too much buffy b/c mci never had a basement, much less one that resembled a labyrinth full of pipes. these dreams usually feature a rotating roster of regulars - usually friends from mci or church - so i guess in that respect it's nice, since i always get to see loved ones. it's actually never quite a nightmare b/c nobody really gets hurt (that i notice) and the zombies, though persistent, are not very bright. it's not a scary dream at all. the problem, however, is their persistence - *that* is what makes the dream unpleasant. there's no violence or eating of the brains or anything remotely gory or horror-filled, it's just crouching and hiding and escaping over and over again. no matter how hard i try to manipulate the dream, it's just chasing with no end in sight. you're trapped in this endless cycle and it wears you down.

needless to say, i don't wake up refreshed the following morning. :p

so it's been awhile since i've last posted. things have definitely slowed down since i finished my midterms, but i'm definitely still keeping busy. december exams are looming up quickly and i'm starting to panic once more.

despite the fact that school lectures are getting more and more painful, i've thankfully been able to enjoy life here and there in fleeting, seemingly stolen moments (as i feel like the purpose of my life right now as a student is to NOT have fun). this morning was one such moment when i decided to sleep in today for school :) and another was when i met up with the girls once more on saturday. (it's been too long!) thank God for those little recharge periods or else i think i'd really go insane.

speaking of sanity, who wants to keep me company this weekend as i try to get some studying done and keep myself from: 1) falling asleep, and 2) going insane? dave's gone to aspen today for a conference and, all-of-a-sudden, i don't know what to do with myself. suddenly my evenings and weekend seem very free and very lonely. :( i suppose my textbooks and notes could keep me company, but... c'mon.

to others in similar situations: don't lose hope! :)

... free at last! [cue flamboyantly dressed man holding a script "freedom" sign.. it's an arrested development thing.]

now i'm available this evening to ~~PARTY!~~ read all about meningitis. :(

on the plus side, my exam wasn't too bad today and i'm going to get a brief reprieve from the craziness of midterms. this weekend i've got phollies, borat, time with dave, and a bit of school work thrown in just to keep me grounded. speaking of dave, he did the nicest thing today. :) he's been working like crazy this week to get a report done for a scholarship and has been stuck in his lab 'til really late. but he surprised me last night by visiting while i was studying in the wee hours of the morning just so he could bring me some snack/"brain" food (chicken corn soup and clams in black bean sauce) and to wish me a happy one year. then he bolted b/c he was afraid my parents would wake up and wonder why he was there. hee. what a guy. <3

and for those of you who find my choice in snack food suspect, i say "chacun à son goût".
