I need to stop dreaming. I just woke up from melancholy. Sure, things were kind of fun at the end with a wheel that randomly changes your personality before you enter a party, but long before that, I was left behind in a van on the campus with Mr. Fletcher asking if I could still play saxophone before he left too. And last night was some crazy thing where Valerie came back and strongarmed me nito taking care of her kid when it's born if things don't work out or something. My dreams are not only depressing me, but also still completely stuck in my past. Casey, Valerie, Dave Baxter, Emily Harrop, Lindsey, Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Lay, Miss Galper... I haven't had a single dream in months that features any person I've met for the first time in the past two or three years. This is insanity.
Anything new in life? Census work is winding down. My job ends in a week. It's weird. We haven't gotten any new work in the past four or five days, but we were told there was going to be a huge influx of work coming our way. Lots of full interviews. But nothing yet. Maybe when I go to the meeting in an hour and a half, there will be a stack of papers for the four of us. Hope so.
I've also completely hoed out my room this Fourth of July weekend. Another of my sister's friends is moving in for a few months so I did what I failed to do when Carrieann was here two or three years ago! Of course, I had to ask for help and wow.... my sister is an expert when it comes to cleaning a giant mess. When I clean, I go piece by piece, sorting everything along the way and fallnig completely into nostalgia for hours. She just shovels it into piles to deal with one at a time, but the room is clean first.
And unlike Jenelle and Carrieann, I have no idea who she is. I still have barely had a conversation with her (though that's the norm for me these days) and she's sleeping in my room. Eh, two months is a long time to get to know somebody.
Well, I'm in a better mood now that I've vented. Now I can cheerily make my way through the day. No gloom and anxiety for the meeting, I hope. Stupid dreams.
