Nightmare

A while ago, someone from the Overachiever was sending out emails to all IA students asking if they had had any dreams related to the IA that they wished to share. They got several responses, and a few dreams made it into the newspaper. There were some interesting ones: one student dreamed of a snow day, only to find out that they had missed a day of school, while another, dreaming that they were going to school in heaven, would not allow the winged students to convince him or her that the otherwise unchanged school really was heaven. It wasn't in time for the article, but I've had an interesting IA-dream of my own. It all started this past Sunday night, looking forward to Monday, the final day of break (insert wavy flashback-inducing transition and harp music to taste here)...

I fell asleep thinking about how I was going to spend my last day before returning to school. I had nothing super-exciting to do, but I'd get to relax a bit more, maybe play a bit of Animal Crossing... when the next thing I knew my mom was in my room telling me I had to get up for school! I tried to tell her that only my sister had school that day, and that IA didn't start until Tuesday, but she would hear none of it. I don't remember if my carpool showed up or not, but I do know that somehow I did make it to school. Everyone was talking to each other about break, as they always do on the first day. Only, instead of asking how people had spent their time off, they wanted to know if they were enjoying their last day! I could clearly see that we were at IA, hanging out in the halls and going to class as usual, but everyone else seemed to think that they were still on break, and were thrilled to be able to spend the last day as they chose. The most vivid memory I have is of someone coming up to me and asking if I was enjoying the last day of spring break. I think they also talked about how awesome it was to still be on break when all the other schools had already started. Of course, they didn't see me trying to point out that we were in the German room.

Luckily, the real Monday morning eventually came around, and I did get to play some Animal Crossing.
