Janet Monge nightmares and reality

theyellowhobbitToday I had a meeting with Janet Monge. Last night I had a dream about said meeting. I dreamed that she wasn't sure whether or not I could take her class, since I had to leave early for the first 2 weeks, since she'd rather give my spot to someone who didn't have to leave early. I also, for some reason, had to demonstrate that I could bike really quickly to Hillel.
Speaking of biking- I have a new talent- precision biking. "What is this?" you may ask. It involves my bike, the basket in the front of my bike, various large objects, and a coffee from Wawa. What you do is buy a coffee, put your large objects [such as an environmental studies book or a gym bag] in the basket, and then squeeze the coffee into the corner, with the large object holding it in place. Then you bike downhill to the anthropology museum. The object of precision biking is to get to the museum without spilling the coffee. A little bit on the lid is fine, but it can't go flying out. So far, out of 2 tries, I've succeeded both times.
So now the real meeting- she said she'd love to have me in her class, and it was fine if I had to leave a little early for the first few weeks. I also might be able to volunteer at the museum next semester, and she said if I was there for long periods of time, I could get access to the student lab to study in. Which might give me museum access.
Speaking of museum access, which Ariela will soon have, I could have used it today. After class I wandered about the exhibits, and I then tried to get back to the classroom part of the museum. I knew that if I crossed the deck on top of the cafe, I could get there. Unfortunately you need museum access for that. So I had to go down 2 flights of stairs and then up 2 different flights of stairs. I still haven't explored the entire museum. Maybe I can go again this shabbas [hint hint Josh and Liz]. And I won't wear injury-inducing shoes, considering I'm up to "Avidan M" in the Avidan game.
Wow. Almost 400 words, none of which are for my story.
And now back to actual work.
