I was at school as a Campus Host, only we were in New York, or maybe Philadelphia, but it wasn't DC, when Sammie came to see me. She was with a bunch of friends and my mother was there. At some point someone said that they had to throw Sammie a bachelorette party and I was confused because I didn't know Sammie was getting married. Then she looked uncomfortable and told me that she was marrying Dave Harris and hadn't wanted to upset me, so I ran away and got on a motorcycle. I was in Newton, on my street and my dad wanted to know where I was going. I drove until I found somewhere to hide, under sheets and behind chicken wire. Sammie followed me and I told her I wasn't upset because she was marrying Dave Harris, my ex-boyfriend, but because she hadn't trusted me to tell me. Sammie handed me a card, saying it was from the person I knew, and when I opened it the card was from Lindsay, telling me that she wanted to hear about Alice and Ian and Molly. I was in a castle and there was a painting of a monster, shadowed by a man, shadowed by an elephant shadowed by a giant bug. It was a painting, and I was in my apartment and it was morning -- late morning -- I got up and went out and saw that my roommate had moved in, and Sarah (my roommate from last year) was helping her, and I thought it strange that I didn't know she was moving in. I found a bottle of vodka in my room and took it out to the kitchen. I went to see John Quast (Resident Director on Tenley) in my kitchen at home. I put on a blue, itchy sweater and John complained that Caitlin wanted things. I offered to bring them to her, and John said thanks, and handed me a plastic Starbucks cup with whiskey in it and told me to go. I woke up and looked at the clock and it said it was midday and my hand hurt. I decided to go back to sleep.
I woke up at 9:15 and stared at my clock confused.
