Vague. Wandered, perhaps at times quickly, around this large building that reminded me of some European hall... James Bondish feel to the situation. Probably means I was with someone who felt 'James Bondish' to me.

Later, thought I was back at college, that I returned to my room with, I think, my 'mother', only to find a new 'roomate' already there. Despite the surprise, she seemed ok. Then it seemed we found out that my college was going to merge with a military academy. Some student from the other place was standing there, hanging around for a bit, telling us this. But I think by this time it was irrelevant to me, as I may have remembered that I was through with college. I left the vicinity of the suite, and on my way back fancied I heard the mother of the other girl making the tail-end of a comment that indicated they were sorry for whomever would be sharing that room (as their daughter wouldn't be in it anymore; I think we were all being moved); my self-critical beliefs had me wondering if I'd caught the tail-end of them dissing me. But part of me also didn't care, so I just made enough extra noise on the stairs so they'd know I was approaching and be able to compose themselves and save social face (if they'd indeed been dissing me or anyone else).

A vague scene where I climbed up this strange slope/structure to a top, where someone was having some (non-lethal) ritual or blessing or something done over her. I found it very difficult to scramble and hang on that last bit, afraid I'd fall. I got little to no sympathy from the other two on my anxiety. Somehow I finally scrambled up to where I was safe, but what had happened to the other girl didn't seem to be slated to happen to me. Not sure whether I felt cheated, or was too happy to be done climbing that thing to care.

General impression: neither among familiar friends, nor complete enemies. Judged by others. Feeling: Ambivalence, chronic but subtle stress. About 13 hours sleep.

Made one of those minimalist style (but not in the price, when you buy them - try at least $25 list price) artificial red berry door wreaths plus a pillar candle wreath, with enough material left over to make a second candle wreath if so desired.

Total cost: $5.

Cynical note to fellow crafters: Pearl Arts & Crafts has tons of cheap imported crap from China (I mean, cheap gift junk, not even craft supplies)...and half the time, none of the true basics in stock (like in this instance, dark green florists tape). And I'm not even going to get into the state of their shelves and aisles of unpacked boxes blocking the way...

I wonder if it's just the one near me, whether it's due to it being the holiday season...or if that's endemic to their chain.
