Official Spring Break: Day Nine

Happy Easter everyone. I almost forgot about it. I miss being a little girl, and looking forward to the Easter Rabbit coming to my house and leaving a basket of goodies and a stuffed animal of some description. Once, he left $20.00, which is a fortune when you are 7-and-a-half years old. You can buy Polly Pockets, or even a Barbie doll! Man...being a kid was so magical with all of the wonders of money and toys. I think I have to go and hug a teddy bear. Hehe...Sour Kraut Sheep!

I wish there was a way I could get my hair to stay put all night. When it is down, and I'm trying to sleep on my pillow, it just itches my face and neck, so I usually wear a bandana or tie it back somehow. Last night I painstakingly tied it into a bun, hoping it would stay neatly knotted most of the night. I guess I moved around a lot in my sleep last night, because I woke up looking like Cousin It from the Addams Family movies. Then it was all tangled and messy, which I hate. But now it is bunned again, tight, not a hair out of place. Stupid unruly hair.

Moving on to other news, I had the weirdest dream last night. First day of grade 12, and I was crying for some reason. Probably because all the previous grade twelves were gone. I was standing in the front doorway of the school, and walked to the gate. For some reason, the school was on a beautiful green hillside with flowers and a brilliant blue summer sky, and rolling hills and mountains in the distance. I turned adn saw all of my aquaintances, including the old grade twelves, standing in the little foyez thingy, with the double doors wide open. Some were waving, and others were just glaring at me from the back. I can't really remember who was doing what, but the ones who were waving looked a little sad, as if they were waving goodbye to me. I thought it was I who was leaving, but then the WEIRDEST thing ever happened. Everyone ran at me, some as if they were going to hug me, others in a murderous rage, but before they came within a foot of me, they leapt into the sky and turned into DRAGONS! How weird is that? The "nice" ones turned either blue or green, and the "mean" ones turned red or black. I spun and watched them fly off into the sky, heading for the distant mountains I mentioned earlier. I wanted to go with them, but I couldn't change, and just stood there stupidly, reaching out to them. I let my arm fall, sank to my knees, and I began to cry even harder, feeling more alone than I ever remember feeling in a dream. It was the oddest thing. Hah...sorry, I know talking about dreams is totally lame, but I feel nerdy, thanks to the Holy Sweatervest.
