I had the strangest dream....

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I will be starting my PhD program this spring. I am doing it here in the same area in which I have just finished my masters (Language and Literacy). And when I say just finished, I mean just finished as in yesterday submitted (read: emailed to my professor at 3:00 pm) my final paper (which was due at 7:00 pm...told you I could procrastinate) for my final class. What a relief. Except I woke up this morning at around 7:00 because I was having the worst dream......

I dreamed I failed my paper. With a score of 17/88. Yes, really. 88...how arbitrary! Isn't that wild? But the worst part about it was my friends Caitlin and Julianne had made 88/88 on theirs and they were LAUGHING AT ME!

Which brings me to my other strange dream of the week....

Earlier this week, I dreamed my teeth were falling out. Have any of you dreamed this before? I'd love to hear about some of your wild dreams. Have you ever looked any of the meanings up? Apparently the teeth falling out dream is relatively common. And I have dreamed it pretty often. Sometimes while I am talking, my teeth are falling out, one at a time. Sometimes they are crumbling out and I keep my hand over my mouth the entire time. That's how it was this time. So freaky because you can feel them falling out.....

And, as with almost everything in the world, dreams are wide open to interpretations. I've heard teeth falling out means you are self-conscious; I've heard it means you are afraid of losing control....not sure what in my life would trigger either of those feelings. Regardless, I had the strangest dreams...

In other news, I am stealing this picture from Blogging From Guam:

It's BFG, TCF, and me.

We had the greatest time with BFG back in town and visiting for a while. It was great to be back together again and catch up. We had dinner over at TCF's house and hung out with a great group of friends. It was so much fun. Uncharacteristically, I left my camera at home. So I've resorted to stealing from other people's blogs. But you can see more pictures of our night on their blogs.

Inching towards my 100th post.....trying to think of a way to celebrate.

Also, going for a new look. I was getting tired of the old way. And this is so plain and simple...what do you think?

By the way...BFG...have any of you read that book? The Big Friendly Giant? I assure you Blogging From Guam is FAR from being a giant, but what a great abbreviation! Wish I'd thought of a better blog title now....OINSL is a crappy abbreviation.
Jealous....
