(no subject)
It seems like people are writing about their dreams lately (M and R), so here are my most recent stumpers: 1) wandering around the Hill having dumb hippies and homeless (excuse me, transient) people following me, throwing birds into my hair, and not letting me get back to the bar where all my friends are having a good time. 2) playing softball against a very good team and I look around and my teammates are a group of about 30 4 year olds. And they can't catch a ball. I run off screaming (after which I lose my voice) and throwing things in frustration. 3) wanting Taco Bell so badly I can taste it. And the only restaurant around is a shoddy Mexican place that tries to (but misses miserably) copy the Cheesy Gordita Crunch.
Apparently, my subconcious is trying to tell me that I'm frustrated. But I'm not sure where in my life I would find that. Teaching, maybe. Moving, possibly. But there really isn't anything else to frustrate over. Give me a sign oh omniscient subconscious!
In other news I got some mail from the Association of Graduate Students in English from UI (AGSE being a MUCH better acronym than GAC-Graduate Academic Committee-that I was on-and helped create the name for- at CU). They included a list of the best grocery stores/bookstores/entertainment type things available in IC. And happily, I am starting to get excited about moving there. It seems that there is a lot more that the town has to offer than I was willing to admit at first. There are a few bars that are haunted mainly by graduate students. There are a few pool halls (hopefully, I can find a league I can join). The AGSE plans all kinds of social events and maybe these wont be as disastrous as ours were here (or maybe there won't be as many nay-sayers there).
I knew the time would come when I would be excited to move to IC. I don't know that I'm "excited" per se. But I am not as down on the idea as I have been previously.
