dreams, pride, and life in the general sense
-so this morning i took my first chapel skip of the year and caught up on some sleep. it felt good. but for the second time this year, i had the most realistic dream ever where i dreamt i woke up like 5 hours later and had missed all of my classes. i got a zero on a math quiz, points taken off on a project i was supposed to turn in, and more. and kyle said to me, "that's what you get for being so lazy. you shouldnt take naps" and he was really mean to me. (but that happens in real life, too). but then i woke up at 10:35 and realized it was all a dream and it was the greatest sense of relief i have ever experienced.....besides farkle.
-it turns out it was a good day to skip chapel. let me set the scene. for those of you who have been keeping up with my rantings, you know that the sound guy just got fired or whatever. now, there are 2 guys from maintenance that are mostly in charge of doing sound. unfortunately, they dont know a THING about it. SO...from what i hear...our president gets up to speak today, and his lapel mike isnt working. so he goes to the pulpit mike and thats not working. so he finally gives up and prays and dismisses everyone at 10:20. whoops! that made quite a few people not too happy.
if these maintenance guys would just swallow their pride and admit they know nothing about the sound system and let one of us guys who have been working with it for a couple years run it, things would be fine.
this is exactly what the old guy wanted to do...prove to everyone that we couldnt do it without him. if we'd all swallow our pride that wouldnt be a problem.
the people in charge of my generation night are paying a fortune to have a guy bring in his own sound equipment and run the show. if they'd swallow their pride they'd realize the chapel system COULD sound good if the right people run it and they could save a lot of money and hassle.
so, that's that. life would be a lot easier if people werent prideful.
-today in the one building somehow sewage was coming out of a water fountain. yikes. and holy moly it smelled like someone put off 10 stink bombs at once and it wasnt going away.
-thats all.
