First Update in Over 3 Months!
I felt that it was finally time that I blog.
Yes. You heard me: BLOG.
In a nut shell, here’s what has happened in the last three months:
>> Went to Columbus State in the summer.
>> Found out that my ENGL 253 teacher was literally insane and extremely obsessive compulsive.
>> Dropped his class and took SPAN 101.
>> It ended up being Matt’s class.
>> Got inducted into Phi Theta Kappa (the honors society).
>> The MATH 104 teacher was too old to be teaching. Someone would ask, “How do you do question 75?” and she would say, “Yes, it will be on the test.” as if that was how you worked the problem. Someone would ask, “Is it [this way] or [that way]?” and she would say, “Yes.”
>> Dropped her class.
>> With the help of Matt getting me to study every week, I got an A in SPAN 101.
>> I used the project in Statistics to find prices on apartments.
>> My friend/co-worker Nonofo (from Batswana) needed to move to a new apartment so we became roommates.
>> Ironically, it was next to Matt and Jenn. The apartment is nice because the rent is only $510 (water included) in an area that the same type of apartment would be around $650 or more. There’s only two small steps and it’s a decent-sized apartment. Everything else we saw had lots of stairs, small bedrooms, and we would have had to pay all utilities. 10-15 minutes from school is GREAT! It’s also close to OSU and very close to a bus that goes down there.
>> Our spanish teacher got me and Matt to restart the Spanish Club.
>> Got a B (somehow) in Statistics.
>> Still had a 3.5 GPA lol.
>> Went to the OSU orientation. It’s bad when one of the speakers first said, “O-H”! Geez, this is a football school. Now I randomly yell it in crowds near home.
>> Couldn’t get my loan to come in in time, so I didn’t go to OSU this quarter.
>> I’m taking SPAN 102 this quarter with Matt (which means I will probably pass!).
>> I’m also taking HUM 151 with Doron (who has saved me a few times already). It’s a hard class and on Thursday, I have to suffer through trying to listen to an old lady speak to us without a microphone as she holds the microphone at her waist and write so fast my hand almost falls off. I still miss half the notes.
>> I’m still about to start the Book and Movie Club and run for an office in the Student Government Association because there is more than one way to skin a cat.
>> Made Sean Arts Editor of Cougar News, which he is rockin’! He so deserves to have that role. He’s a great leader and innovator.
>> Matt’s still my mentor and muse when it comes to the paper and projects.
>> With him and others encouraging me, I’m working on a Halloween Party “Celebration” that will serve as a large fundraiser for CSCC clubs.
So that’s really all that has happend..
As for the blog, today’s news will cover:

and the Unique Culture of the OSU Campus Area
First, the Dreams
Nightmares and Dreamscapes
Just like in one of the episodes of “Nightmares and Dreamscapes” they had on the SciFi Channel a couple of months ago, toy soldiers come to life..
I’m sitting in a room in my parent’s house that was full of toys and old stuff..this 60’s-designed remote-controlled toy car starts up by itself and runs around the room, knocking into other items..
It stops in the doorway of our kitchen where my parents are sitting..little toy soldiers come out with a bazooka and start shooting toy ammo across the room at my parents..nothing messed up, but I was afraid they would use dynomite instead of toy ammo..
I woke up in my dream and I thought I was crazy! I somehow knew in my dream that it only took a little block of some kind of radioactive material to make a big enough bomb to blow up the world..
I picked up a small, clear plastic set of drawers and tried to talk to my dad about it..he said I wasn’t crazy because he was there and saw it all happen..I tried to hint at the whole bomb thing, not wanting to give any crazy ideas to the pastic toy in my hand..the toy in my had disappeared and I kept trying to look for it..
My interpretation:
Something that seems a little to no threat could potentially be something that can destroy my world.
Where is Our Baby?
Me and this guy have a baby..
So we’re all happy and stuff, but the doctor who delievered our baby took it!
I’m later sitting on a maroon/red couch, while the guy is standing to my left (as usual) and I hear a wear noise repeating..
It takes me a while, but then I discover it is a baby crying! Our baby was put in the couch to die by my gynocologist!
I rescue our baby and the guy and I start to help other families out that the doctor had tried to smother their babies..
My interpretation:
A project (because sometimes people call their projects their “baby”) that me and the guy are or will work on will need help from someone to bring it to life.. However, the person will try to kill the project.. Me and this guy will get the project back and help others with their projects..
Party Time
I had this weird dream about being at a college party in the OSU campus area..some guys were drinking Pepsi and others were drinking alcoholic drinks out of bright yellow plastic cups..
I had a change of clothes (black shorts, red shirt) in a larger version of my current purse..I also had a bright yellow bookbag purse with a thermos in it for some reason and a small camera..
I was living in a dorm at 108 Madison Ave. which had 5 bedrooms and a broken payphone near the front door..outside had a lot of trees..
Later, I was looking for something at Kroger/Walmart and ended up being a spy..my mission was to break into a vault in the back of the supermarket..I sucked and kept triggering the defense systems and the vault eventually redid the combination for the lock..
I remember crawling up the stairs under the laser sensors and heard someone coming..it ended up being blind people with canes..I was so glad they couldn’t see me!
End of the World
It was the end of the world..some comet was hiting Earth or something..
My parents, me, Matt, Heather (my boss), and Tracy (the Office Associate that works in the adjacent office) were all in a reinforced hotel building..
My mom and I were in the kitchen and I saw a red flash! I was like, “That’s it????” and then it felt like an earthquake..
Later, I was in my bedroom in this building and the sky was blacked out by black clouds..I was mad because the end of the world was so boring……then I saw a fire ball come down from the sky and hit the roof of the house next door and it caught fire..
I went to another room where Matt and I watched out the window of what looks like our office view in waking life where half of the sidewalk is sheltered..We laughed at the idiot people going out in the black acid rain when they could be inside and safe like us..the students were using unbrellas and the fireballs hit them and the students trench coats and caught fire..
Later, I found out that Matt had brought large bags of white rice to live off of..Tracy was eating some overcooked rice and Matt was eating rice that was cooked well by him..he let me try some and I thought it tasted great, but didn’t want to eat all the rice..I was ok with eating hardly anything and could live off chewy bars..but Matt ended up making me a big bowl of rice..
Later, Matt and I argued with Heather and Tracy about how the comet could have hit a planet and the fireballs could be just the beginning..that the next rocks could be massive! Then, Matt and I discussed going in an underground shelter near his dad’s place..
The Dream I Can’t Remember Right Now
Damn it! I should have written it down!!!!
Disease
It was very movie-like, but I can’t remember all of the details..
I remember a group of scientists trying to get an older woman to kill herself with this gas or mabe it was some kind of vacuum that does something to the person’s brain..they put tan tubes to their nose and it kills them..
The older woman refused, but a younger teenage blond girl killed herself willingly after being brainwashed by the doctors..
I guess this one disese attacks minorities and those “unwanted” by the race these doctors were (conservative white people) such as homosexuals and psychotic people..it makes them sweat and bleed the disese in a red/blue liquid in the latest advance of the disease..if the liquid is red, it isn’t contagious and if it’s blue at all, it is..
The question was if the “unwanted” people were just more subseptible or if the disease made them do unwanted behavior or show the unwanted traits of their mixed race..whatever it was, they knew it was hereditary and wanted to rid the earth of those with the disease long before it progressed..
Me and a few others in scrubs were part of the testing for a vacine and I was the main activist among them asking them to not kill innocent people when they could adopt..plus, with the new medicine, there was a 70% chance that the baby would have the red kind of the disease that wouldn’t kill them until later..
But they didn’t listen and I remember parts of the movie showing millions of people dying from a disease that I thought was man made..
It was weird..

I’m watching a weird Japanese horror flick right now, so I’ll finish the blog later..
