another dream

[gentlyweeps]

so last night i had another dream that i remember. i was traveling, i guess with my parents. we stayed at leigh ann's apartment in new york, but it was a different place than the real one. you know how that happens in dreams? like you know where you're supposed to be, but physically it's a different place, it looks different than the place in real life. so we packed up to leave and got on a train to go somewhere else. we were getting ready to get off the train at our stop, but i needed to gather my things. i looked all over the train for my big forest green duffle bag with black straps (which i don't really have in real life). i kept getting tricked by bags that looked similar, but i couldn't find it. it was very frustrating. then i realized i didn't have my purse. i started looking for it frantically because we needed to get off the train. but i couldn't find it, and i was worried because i had the $180 cash that my mom gave me in it. i thought maybe someone stole it. i thought about going back to leigh ann's apartment to look for my stuff. then i don't know what happened, i don't think i found my stuff, but i somehow ended up at some rural house where abbie heffelfinger and all her relatives and friends were. she had a bunch of cousins (don't know if that's true in real life). i showed up in her backyard, it was sloping with grass and there was a lake or a pond or something. and they were going in the water so i went with them and i happened to be wearing a bathing suit underneath my clothes. i felt self-conscious in the dream about wearing a bathing suit, and i wouldn't look down to see what it looked like because i didn't want to know.

isn't that interesting?

i'm working on my "letter of intent" for my teach for america application. it's kinda like writing college essays again. except i guess i've changed a lot, and i kinda know what i want to say now.
