I'm back from my trip! Actually, I was back yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to post. It was a lot of fun. I doubt I could ever be in a car for that long ever again, but it's not too bad. Our trip there, we were in the car for 14 hours straight. We got to the hotel at 6 in the morning, and then they told us they thought we weren't coming, so they canceled the rooms. It was a bit of a hassle, but not bad.
Indiana University is such a pretty college. Very prestigious, too. I hope she gets accepted. The audition went well, too, so that's even better. Friday night we went to the Scholars Inn Gourmet Cafe and Winery. It was so good. I got Ratatouille. Not a huge fan of it, but it wasn't bad. It was like 60 degrees there, which is about 50 degrees warmer than here in South Dakota. So, I wore a dress and some high heels, and this guy compared me to Barbie. It was the sweetest thing ever.
But, now, I'm back home, and I had the most messed up dream ever.
I don't really remember where anything starts. I just remember I worked at this office building. I was running around, and I kept noticing people weren't showing up to work. What was happening was that they were being kidnapped. Some psycho was killing them and placing them on this giant tower they built. The tower was just a long slab on concrete. And they were on top of this pillar in the elements. Then the killer kidnapped me and put me on top with all of these dead bodies. He was doing an experiment where I would be around them so much that I'd fall in love with them. I kept screaming at him and begging him to not let me fall in love with them.
Down bellow, everyone figures out what is going on and found me, and they were trying to get me down, but the pillar was too tall to use a fireman's ladder or anything like that. So, they had to use this pulley system. And this guy finally got up there after days of me being up there. I was knocked out or something, because I only saw the guy's face for a moment.
I woke up the next day on my farm back home, and I was heading down to the shed to do my chores- collect eggs, when these people came by in a golf cart to see how I was doing, and they were like, 'he's waiting for you.' Somehow, I knew they were talking about the guy who had saved me, who I knew for years. We were really good friends. I know him in real life, but we never really talk. He lives back in Nebraska, so I never pursued anything with him. Well, I go and am collecting these eggs. And they just keep materializing. I can never get them all, which was annoying.
I had to go put away what I had when I ran into Cole, the guy. He teased me a bit, but then he was asking me what I was gonna do from here. He knew I lived in South Dakota. And I told him I'd stay if someone gave me a reason to. OR, I'd just go back and try to get on with life. I must have said something about how 'we' could go back, because he questioned who this 'we' was. (Turns out we weren't really dating. Just friends). I got all embarrassed and wasn't sure how to answer, and he's like, "It's either JJ Redick or Moses." (Moses is one of the girls' husbands at work). And I just was like, "Oh, ya." And Then right as I'm about to leave, he must have said 'we' could go back to South Dakota, and I woke up confused. Because Cole was not Joe.
It was really strange. Very vivid, though.
So, I'm gonna go on a road trip tomorrow after work! An 11 hour road trip.
I get off work at 3. I'm betting we'll be on the road at 4. We probably won't get to our destination until 4 am since we'll probably have to make some stops. We're going to Bloomington, Indiana. MY friend has a music audition to get into their grad school program, and I decided to come with.
It's going to be such a long day. Kinda excited to see if I can stay awake that long.
I can't actually sleep since I'll either be driving or helping with directions since she is terrible with directions.... >.>

Over the past couple of days, especially, I've figured something out.
You know how people are always saying that making choices and decisions are hard? I call bullshit. It isn't making the choice that's hard. It'd doing it. You know in your heart and in your mind what is right, but it isn't easy to actually do it as it was to make the decision.
Just some food for thought.
I have decided to take a break from school, and I'm not sure I'm ever gonna go back. I hate school. I mean, hate it. I dread the beginning of the weak because I can't stand the thought of having to be in classes. I'd rather be working. I got dismissed from the business school, which I've been on probation for almost 2 years now. I'm not going to continue to waste my money and my parent's money by struggling my way through when I might not ever graduate.
So. I'm done.
But, that's okay. I've got a decent job for right now, and I'm in the market for a better one, which I did find a couple prospective ones that I think I might like.
