Resident Evil: The College Edition

growing up my parents would stress the importance of a good education. i remember being sick and my mom would tell me to get well soon so i wouldn't fall too far behind. yes because missing out on the proper way to use glue and macaroni would lead me to failure later in life.

the importance of school has not been lost on me even to this day. i had a dream i was back in the same ivy league college from the last dream and well the zombie apocalypse was upon us. i managed to lead a group to safety. there was running around, ducking under tables and i killed a zombie with a dry erase marker. yes, i am that skilled. i was annoyed the whole time because i was in a review session and the zombies would not leave us alone.

the next day classes continued. i was taking advanced calculus and so was jocelyn. asked why she was there she said for fun -_-. on campus they were cleaning up the mess the zombies left behind. zombies are pretty messy.

when i got to english class the assignment was to write about what we did during the zombie apocalypse. ann said she missed the whole thing because she was stuck in line at the cafeteria. they were selling corn dogs filled with hot dogs wrapped in bacon.

i think i love dream college.

That Is Coco, Former Cat Killer

i loved field trips growing up. a break from the everyday routine was nice. wasn't much of a fan of theme parks because my grandmother said the rides could stop my heart. good thing my parents told me my heart wasn't so fragile. i just wish they didn't wait until i was 18 to do so.

work has left it up to me to do software installs on site for customers. so i get to go on field trips. here are some highlights:
- traffic
- heat wave
- "do the install quickly, we are in a bad neighborhood"
- being in an scene worthy of Hoarders
- chinese desktop. "even if i were to remotely connect to the computer we can't help much. we're from montana....we're all white"
- fish farm
- best way to reform a cat-killing dog is to acquaint him with a kitten
- seeing a $11,000 figurine. there's only 3 in the U.S.
- "that install went well. it only took 7 friggin' times"

yay field trips.
