Plans change, apparently. It was t-20 minutes before I was leaving to Old Forge, and the phone rang. It was Old Navy asking me to come in for orientation today at 2. So obviously I hung up my original plan. I was kinda sad...was sorta looking forward to getting home and seeing everyone...working with everyone i love and being back in the ol comfort zone. Danielle even had a party planned for me..how sweet! so that made me really sad, but at the same time i knew this is what i needed -- i job out here so i can get my shit together and not have to run home with my tail between my legs. I have a feeling that i will only be getting part time for now though. Hopefully that changes as soon as the new location opens in Webster.
Anyway, i thought id use this time to document my crazy ass dream last night. I dont recall why, but i was suddenly hugely interested in getting to the stars. I just HAD to get to them. i knew, in my infinite wisdom that there was a shuttle leaving from just off the coast of africa. so i made my way over to africa. basically i jumped out of a plane an landed in a gulf near the mediterranean. I was swimming my way to the place where the underwater shuttle was. from the shore i heard a lady yell to me that i would have to turn back because it was monsoon season. i kept going though, and got pelted with strong rain and the waves were getting bigger, so i swam back. i had to swim through a series of boathouses and in one of them, i saw my brother cody. he was just standing there staring straight ahead and wearing only a long tshirt. i swam by him at first, but then went back. I told him that i wanted to say goodbye cuz i might never see him again. he thought i was joking and i started crying and told him that i really might not see him again. he looked a lil concerned and confused and i took off swimming again. i got to the place where I knew the shuttle would be leaving from but at that time it was too dark to swim underwater to it. basically, i was scared to go to it. so i swam back to a boathouse and my mom and sister were there. i told them i saw cody and my sister was horrified that he was in africa. my mom explained that he was here on vacation with some friends. thats pretty much where my dream ended. it was freaking odd. the only explanation i can get out of this one is that i was working really hard toward something but i couldnt cross the last obstacle because of fear. hmmmm interesting i must say.
anywho, ive gotta straighten up the house because my roommate has guests coming and then i have to get ready for work. will report back on how orientation at OLD NAVY goes.
