Writer's Block

I am suffering.

This is one of the worst diseases you can have in college. It is entirely unhealthy. Right now, I am hoping to break this devil's back by writing it into the ground. Because of a sleepless Sunday night, I fell asleep last night at 8:41 pm. I woke up at 4 am. Yet I had one of the most petrifying dreams ever.


Ahem.


You will need some background first.

BACKGROUND:

Yesterday, I discovered I had a paper due for my English class. Thank you, Lee. For some odd reason or mix up, I thought this paper was due next week. Alas, that is not the case. It needs to be four pages and about different themes in some past plays we've read. The only ways this paper can be turned in late with no points taken off are [1] sickness or [2] a death in the family. As soon as Lee told me about the deadline, my mind jumped to my escape goats. I began to plan an illness that would soon smote me. It was either that or suicide which counts as a death in the family. After my slight panic attack, I realized that I had time and should attempt this paper.

Yesterday, Keosha sent out an email asking for employees to help with the job fair going on in the Great Hall today. I volunteered because I need to start racking up hours. The shift is from 11 am - 3 pm.

DREAM:

I am slowly waking up still exhausted from my sleep. Leisurely reaching over to check the time on my cellphone, I eventually see 1 pm. Oh, the emotions that seeped through my soul. Emotions of terror and fear. That meant I was 2 hours late for work and had 30 minutes before my 3:30 pm English class to write 4 pages of crap!

I had 2 missed calls. A random (919) number and Lee Nettles. First, I call the random number back and I get my fellow co-worker, Joe Youman's voicemail. Next, I return Lee's call and Joe answers! Apparently, Joe's phone was dead so Lee lent him his. [In real life, Lee and Joe do not know each other] I am terribly confused and scrambling to get ready to run to work. I apologize to Joe for being late and tell him I'm on my way. He mentioned something about his broken leg and the rest is blurry.

I am trying to figure out a solution for my paper. The clinic is where I must go in order to get a sick excuse. What is my reason for going to the clinic? Well, I felt like puking at this point, so I figured that would be a decent excuse.

All of a sudden, Lee is in my dorm room. I have no idea how he got here. But he's not Lee. He is, but he isn't. This part is hard to explain because I talked to him like he was Lee, he looked like Lee, but he wasn't Lee. I spazztasticly started to tell him everything that was happening. All he could say was that it wasn't fair because I skipped my Geology class the day before. Maybe it was Lee. Because he would totally have said that. [HAHA] He tells me how Joe borrowed his phone and that I need to get to work because Amanda Tamayo the other person working during my shift was waiting for me to take over because she was leaving early to go to a wedding.

BOOM.

I find myself back in bed. Rested. I look at my phone. It's 4 am.


Oh, the life I lead.

Amor Libre de Cadenas

En otra vida, yo era Princesa Elena María Ayala de Nepal, un país muy lejano. Mi gente era leal y mostraron respeto para su princesa Elena. Yo tenía una hermana, Princesa Juanita, y un hermano, Príncipe Guillermo. Nuestros padres habían fallecido y todos mis hermanos estaban ocupados con sus vidas excepto yo. La princesa Juanita estaba enamorada con un príncipe de China. El príncipe Guillermo estaba luchando con dragones en el oeste. Me sentía sola cuando nadie estaba conmigo, pero yo tenía responsabilidades para asumir. Mi gente tenía confianza en la capacidad de Príncipe Guillermo para eliminar todos los peligros. Mi gente también tenía confianza en la princesa Juanita y yo para proveer paz y estabilidad.
Un día sombrío en primavera, estaba lloviendo. Todos mis sirvientes estaban enfermos, por eso yo tuve que hacer el trabajo de ellos. Mientras yo caminaba por una esquina, alguien puso un saco en mi cabeza y fui arrastrada a un carruaje cercano. Algo me golpeó en la cabeza y perdí el conocimiento. Cuando desperté, me encontré en un calabozo subterráneo y escuché quejidos en el fondo. Me pregunté, “¿alguien está allí?”

“¿Elena? ¿Es tú?”

¡Era mi hermana, la princesa Juanita!

“¡Juanita! ¿Qué estás haciendo aquí?”

“Yo no sé cómo llegué aquí. Tengo mucho miedo. Solo recuerdo que alguien me arrastraba y tenía los ojos vendados.”

Un soldado de guardia nos dijo donde estábamos y quién nos había capturado. Sucedió que la princesa de India estaba celosa de la riqueza y belleza de las princesas de Nepal. Por eso ella nos secuestró porque quería invadir nuestro país y capturarnos. El soldado dijo que Príncipe Guillermo estaba luchando por nosotros con la ayuda de sus dragones domésticos. De repente los portones se abrieron y el príncipe Guillermo entró con su armada. Después, él y el soldado empezaron a liberar la princesa Juanita y a mí de las cadenas. Yo empezaba a levantarme pero sentí dolores insoportables en mi tobillo y era porque estaba fracturado. El soldado me recogió con sus brazos musculosos y me sacó fuera del calabozo. Después me enteré que el soldado era en realidad el mejor amigo del Príncipe Guillermo. Era un príncipe de Vietnam y su nombre era Clay Tam, quien estaba trabajando como espía bajo cubierta en India. Más tarde nos enamoramos, nos casamos, unimos nuestros reinos y vivimos felices para siempre.

Spring Break

is so delicious (>_<)

Blimey

I just went to Ram's Market to buy some food to suffice my hunger.
Bought some Tostitos tortilla chips (SCOOPS), sour cream, chunky salsa, and grapes.
I returned to my dorm room to enjoy a mini feast.
After combining the sour cream and the salsa to make the perfect creamy concoction and after tasting it, I realized that there was a funky taste in my mouth. It was the sour cream. I looked at the expiration date and it said 20 Feb 09.

I now feel sick.
