whoa! howdy!
ohh, the summer has been rollin' along... it's been quite excellent, except for the hellish heat, especially in my third floor apartment, but i think i might be ever so slightly adjusting to the humidity.
so what is there to say? i've been staring down a microscope eight hours a day for the last few weeks, since i got back toberlin after our field work in colorado. these rocks are ugly and bewildering, but i'm enjoying the work and getting more and more excited for next semester, when i'll be taking three geology classes and an environmental history class. i figure, if a 40 hour a week job doing geology doesn't wear me out, a 15 credits of it for a semester won't either. anyway, let's move on to the real reason of my post.
i think that i have, of late, had a series of premonitions. they've come in dream form, and have been quite unsettling for me. the first dream was incredibly cracked out, so i'll give a brief description. appologies to those who don't know the folks involved...
so, it was next semester and i was at oberlin, but it was not actually oberlin. it was more like some sort of appalachian holler, a lot like butcher holler in coal miner's daughter. anyway, marly and mike harami came to visit me and were helping me organize next year's folkfest. we decided that it would be neet to have matt cartsonis perform, so we called him up, and it turned out that he owned a really trashy trailer in oberlin, so he came to visit and prepare for folkfest. so the four of us and some trashy woman were drinking beer in his trailer and havin' a grand old time, when matt and the woman left. marly and mike and i began to dig around his apartment and discovered, of all things, the Batmobile. we decided to take it out for a spin. i was driving and ended up getting a speeding ticket, and i was really upset about it, so we went back to matt's trailer, and he eventually showed up and told me that it was ok that i got a speeding ticket, because i was driving the Batmobile, not a regular car. the dream begins to get a little fuzzy at this point, but i know that the rest of it involved parking tickets and more drinking.
what i gather from this dream is that i am doomed to get a speeding ticket. i'm convinced -- i can just feel it. so now, when i'm driving around, i drive all slow and annoying because i'm paranoid. i wish that the dream meant marly and mike were coming to visit, or matt was going to perform at folkfest, but alas, my gut feeling has told me to be wary of ohio state troopers.
the other dreams are too ca-razy for me to explain in any coherent fashion, but they've all resulted in me knowing that something from the dream is going to happen in real life. am i having visions? i can't actually tell, because none of them have come true...yet...
other than that, i can't wait until everyone arrives back in ober-land! also, i will be home for the last week of august, so if anyone's around, let's have adventures! there's a concert at mccabe's i want to go to, and many mountains i want to play in. i'll be home from the 25th to the 31st.
