Homework Break!

I'm using this break from my homework to inform you all of a very strange series of dreams that I had two nights ago. I'm wondering if I'm slowly going insane and would appreciate any kind of interpretation you can provide.

Dream 1. I'm some kind of assistant to a play that Kevin Spacey is acting in. That's all I can really tell you about that dream.

Dream 2. I'm living on a large farm in southwestern minnesota with a good friend of mine. However, the farm in the dream doesn't resemble at all what the actual farm looks like. A group of strangers walk up the gravel driveway and say they are lost and their car has died. My friend and I find the car and recharge the battery. Then I burn the strangers a bunch of mixed cd's of music that I like. I hand them the cd's as they are about to depart. One of them is so happy that he begins to cry. He says "You guys are so nice, thanks a bunch!". The group of strangers leave and I decide to jump in my car and race them. However, they get too far ahead of me and I end up getting lost. I even have a map but cannot find my hometown and end up travelling to tiny towns and lakes I've never heard of.

Dream 3. Back at the farm again. However this time I'm a lion (you read that correctly) and am eating deer. The deer are deep-fried and smell like fried chicken. I've eaten hundreds of these deer and their carcasses are spread out every several feet over the farmland. I stop eating and decide to run and race a rabbit and tortoise. They get too far ahead of me and I decide to stop.

No more pizza before bedtime!

New Job, New Life

I got a new job on thursday.

Not just any job, but a freakin' AWESOME job. The kind of job that you accept and just can't wait to start. The kind of job that is the beginning of a lifetime career choice.
I've had previous jobs that I've accepted where I've known that the job would not exactly be "fun". Now, not every job is "fun". But I want to have fun with my job! I want to enjoy my job. I want to wake up every morning and be excited to start work.

This is the kind of job where that WILL happen. I know it. The kind of job which required me to buy a new wardrobe yesterday and spend hundreds of dollars and I didn't mind one bit.

I don't ever want to be in the situation where I accept a job that is more of a disappointment than anything else. No more phone calls from temp agencies that offer work like "box packing, receptionist, or data entry".

This is so incredibly exciting I can hardly stand it. You are reading the words of the newly hired nursing home activities assistant!
