The First Circle of Hell is A Never-Ending Road Trip

You only have two CD's, a lousy portable that skips all the time, and someone has to stop and blow chunks every few miles.

Also you're in a station wagon where the carpet smells like dog hair and is covered in stains.

SAT Dreams

I had a very bizarre dream the night before the SAT's (which were today. Which were also not that bad.)

I was up at camp. That's my place. I feel like I know it better than my own neighborhood. At first everything seemed very urgent, probably because I was just trying to fall asleep NOW and sleep for as long as I could before the test. It was like I was being eaten alive by one of the lodges, and with every step I took, it's intestinal tract pushed me in the opposite direction. There were halls after halls after halls. It was very scary, since, dude, I had the SAT's in the morning and I didn't have time for this crap. So eventually I ended up on Deitz Lodge's porch. It was night, and there were some hanging gardens and plants on the patio. Usually there's nothing there. Someone was also there who probably will never be there again. (at least for a while.)

The most unexpected people show up in dreams. This one, for example, moved to Nevada suddenly MONTHS ago.

He was taking three AP tests. THREE! What a masochist.

Next I visited a sort of sadistic plant shop. At first it seemed to be selling potted plants for a bargain, (alas, I had no money.) but they actually turned out to be much more exotic than petunias or what have you. The owner tried to sell me a plant which had the appearance of two beautiful sunflowers tied to a telephone pole. The trick was that you had to deliberately pollute the water you gave to the sunflowers, so that they would wither and die against the pole, which would bloom a year later.

Alas, I had no money.

Finally, finally I got to the location of the SAT tests. It was a room made of lots of natural rock furnishings and it even had waterfalls. I was also really happy to see Levi there, but he told me I was in the wrong place. These were the manga SAT's. Of course, how couldn't I know?

Then I woke up and my dad drove me to the actual SAT location. Two of my friends from church were there. It was great. I really mean it.
