The other reason I would have gone to campus...to speak with a transfer counselor...I've kind of lost desire for that. sad huh? Walk in counseling is from 10-10:30 am and it's usually 10-15 minutes at the most. I don't have class until 3 pm and I know where the class room is, so I'm not going to sit around campus for 4 1/2 hours doing nothing. I did that yesterday, well for 2 1/2 hours. it was borning. I did catch up on my reading, but I was still bored.
So today I'm not leaving until 12:30 pm. I'll get to see The View (if it's not pre-empted for fire coverage) and that's oneless thing I have to record. I lucked out of having to record everything I wanted to record last night, so I'm hoping tonight is the same way, though I do have the VCR set just in case.
Right before I had this weird dream my dad had throat cancer and he tried telling me but I brushed him off because I didn't want to talk to him. Different things happened and then I get this call from my dad demanding to know what I told my mom. I kept saying nothing and he didn't believe me (not a shock there) and so I asked him what happened to my mom and he said that she found out about his having cancer and disappeared. Then Niles and Daphne from Fraiser and Booth and Bones from Bones were in my dream, as well as a few other faces I can't place, and they were having this whole out of body experience where the "live" people could see the spirits of the "dead" people floating above and all they had to say was some simple phrase and the spirits would go back to their right bodies. For some reason, they wouldn't say the phrase, so Fraiser said it under his breath and Daphne went back into her body, and as she did that, I felt this bump behind my head...like my cat does when she jumps behind me to get into the window and that woke me up. I looked up and can see the cat wedged between the window and the screen, so there's no way it could have been her...so it had to be her spirit waking me up as it was going back to her body.
The time when I woke up? 8 am. The time I needed to wake up, but wouldn't have if I stayed alseep.
Believe it or not...I don't care. But I'm beginning to believe a lot in what Sylvia Browne.
New fire in the area of the 210 and 215 freeways - Rancho Cucamonga. This is freaking crazy! I tried calling home yesterday when I was leaving class, about 5 pm, and no one answered...I thought something bad happened in my city. But none of them are close to where I live.
I just read this on the California Department of Forestry and Fire's website:
