The Real World and The Dream World

I hate coming up to finals week. Every other little stressful thing in life usually becomes so much worse. Lots of papers, professors being asses (although one is the coolest prof. ever! props to Prof. Robinson), stupid tests to study for. Then, doc calls with strange news. Then, although the outcome is awesome!!! filing for loans from a bank can be a pain in the ass with all the paperwork, faxing and paper shuttling. But... I GOT A NEW CAR! finally. My '91 was starting to kick it... couldn't open the driver side door all the way or it'd get stuck, wouldn't start in temps. under 10 degrees, and the lack of clearance meant a rock to my undercarage and an oil leak. But now, I've got clearance, working doors, a starting car, and a sexy black chasie. Say hello to the Saabaru. A 2005 Saab 9-2x or better known as a Subaru Impreza in a sexier body.

Then back to the real world... Car payments, no business at the restaurant (means no tips, means no income), and being turned down for my first real job that I applied for.

But then, alas... Dream world kicked back in when Keystone opened it's big jumps. Smooth as a baby's bottom with long landings. And to top it all off, nearly every pro alpine skier was there this weekend just killing everything. Jon Olsson throwing kangaroo flips at every turn, Simon Dumont never once falling, then TJ, Sammy, the whole Olenick crew, Steele Spence, and oh so many more.

Then some dufus in the parking lot droped his skis on my car and put a new scratch on it.

But graduation is next week and then I should be back in dream world for a whole winter.
