I can't remember - in the past two years - having a nightmare the day before school started. Last night, however, I did. Thankfully it wasn't of me showing up naked/in my underwear to school. It was actually kind of funny ...
I'm in class with 25ish kids (because the desks are all full). They won't settle down, and so I try staring at them. It doesn't work. I try huffing and puffing and sighing, but that doesn't work either. Then, I decide to yell. "QUIEEEEEEEET!" Nothing. They just keep on going. They aren't talking quietly, mind you, they are all shouting and laughing and having a grand old time. Then it happens ... I cup my hands over my mouth and in the biggest, loudest voice I can muster scream "SHUT UP!" It works. They look at me, and settle down. Too bad for them I'm already fuming! "That's it," I say. "I'm done. I will see ALL OF YOU IN DETENTION ON MONDAY!" (Apparantely my dream takes place on a Friday). So now, I have 25ish kids coming for detention. Except, there are three I ask to stay after class ... "You don't even have to come. You weren't doing anything, so you're totally free."
Later, in the dream and in the school day of that dream, I'm in my Vice Principal's office trying to explain to him why in the world I have that many kids for a detention. So, I explain the entire story to him ...
Then I woke up to my 5:50 alarm. It was time to shower and head in for the first day with a new crop of freshies.
