Finished with school

Okay I graduated from college ASAP to avoid staying up late working on papers. Now I ask myself why at 150am I'm awake morning proof-reading my brother's essay for his intro college English class??? sigh the things I do for love.

His paper wasn't too bad this time, though I still think he'll do poorly on it. I swear I think this teacher is out to fail him. My mom, sister, and I are all smart women, my mom has a Masters, my sister is a mechanical engineer major 1 year away from graduating, and I didn' do half bad on my papers in college. I always made A's and B's. Between teh 3 of us, we can barely get passing grades on the papers we help Justin proof read. My sister even wrote a paper for him, she always makes A's and she got a C on this paper. :(

now I haven't gone far enough to write any papers for justin, mostly out of laziness, as I said I hated writing essays for college. I'd rather read a book or check my emails. :) But I do help him proof-read and I thought I was rather good at picking up grammar errors and weird sentence structures. in any case i'll be glad when justin goes to another college.

Dreams that Bite

Last night I had one of the worst nightmares ever. Maybe I'm getting too paranoid about the government, or watched too many episodes of X-Files, but the dream I had last night was probably an accumalation of all my fears.

it's hard to describe exact details now that I'm awake, mostly I remember the main events, like going to a concert or some sort of event that drew thousands of people together into one spot and then being attacked by a giant alien jellyfish monster that poisoned everything it touched, infecting people with some sort of virus that ate away at people until they died. After the inital attack, which I was somehow spared being infected because I was with my sister and brothers in some underground tunnel system and the arms of the jellyfish didn't reach that far under ground...we escaped the tunnels and found mass panic and confusion outside. It was raining and people were killing each other to get a taxi cab, and everyone had sores on their faces and people were dropping like flies in the street and the chaos continued to spread. My sister, brothers, and I beat someone up to get a taxi ourselves thinking maybe the rain may carry the posion with it as well. in my dream I knew my mom was also at this event but we couldn't find her and that was scary too because there were so many people dieing.

now this woudl have been bad enough, but the dream continues into the next day and the day after and people are still dieing by the thousands, there are riots and few food stores are still open but when we went i had a bad feeling about the food and just as we were about to buy our groceries and leave, a guy ate a grape and then started to scream as sores spread all over his face and neck. We left the food and ran. this is where I go the idea that the government purposefully contaminated the food and water supplies to kill as many people as possible so the aliens wouldn't kill the rest. (think I got this idea from X-Files)

I woke up soon after this but I remember the fear and panic and chaos in the dreams, as I struggled to stay alive and being terrified of getting infected and dieing like everyone else. I was also worried about my sister and brothers. I didn't want them to die either and already some of my aunts and uncles got infected and had died.

I just hope I don't have another dream like this ever again.
