dream

Last night I had 2 odd dreams: one good, one bad. I wanted to write more because of the good one, even though the bad one has left me feeling angry this morning, so I'll start with it. I dreamt that I was very hostile in my policy class. I hit someone, I got people kicked out of the program, I yelled at my professor...now I know this is all because I'm so frustrated with that class right now. It's so unlike me to not understand an assignment. So I woke up still feeling upset and I'm trying to get in a better frame of mind. I'm watching Joel, but this episode doesn't really pertain to me, so it's not really helping.
Ok the good dream though. I dreamt that my dad and the Peters were all sitting around me and we laughing and joking about how they are so surprised I've lasted this long from home. They joked how they figured I would have given up and come home by now. So perhaps that is what I need to focus on. I know that even if this one class is frustrating me so much right now, it isn't going to beat me.
Yesterday was crappy though. We got a ton of snow. Stupidly I drove to school for work, fishtailing all over the place. Well it was worse at noon when I left. So much so, at one point I was going uphill sideways. I was shaking when I got home. Class was cancelled today (although, my teacher didn't email ME to tell me) but I have work this afternoon. I'm taking the bus.

freezing!

Yesterday was horrible here. It was so darn cold and windy on top of that. I had to go out (well, I could have stayed home but no) to go to Jen and Andrew's for dinner and lordy the cold hurt my body and lungs! I had my first "accident" in this winter weather too. I hit the curb pretty hard with the side of my tire. Ice on the road isn't fun. Then I found out if you leave a can of soda in the car in this kind of weather, it will explode. I went to move my umbrella in the front seat this morning and realized I had a mound of brown ice inside my car, then found the open soda can. At least it was all frozen, but eventually what I couldn't get out will be a sticky mess. My poor car is having it as rough, if not worse, than I am.
Let's see...last week I just decided to really be lazy as far as school went, and honestly, having all that me time really helped. I made cupcakes for my class, I worked around the house, I've been finding things to finally decorate the walls with (a huge Elvis poster for my room, some blue iron wall thing and curtains), and even got a golf club for the driving range. Of course now I need to get back to work, and my policy paper is driving me nuts. I just can't figure out what I'm supposed to do, my teacher can't seem to clarify it any better, and so I have no desire to do any research. Plus, it envolves discussing Pennsylvania, and honestly I don't care about this state.
I got myself an exercise bike, and did 15 minutes just now on it while I did some reading. Hopefully it will help, which I think it will. I should get back to being productive.
