My room in the College of Arts

2 weeks ago? Apr '15.

Our class was given an assignment. Each student will have their own classroom. Our task was to convert that classroom into our own room, and it will be our own room on campus till we graduate.

Dream fast forwarded to the completion of our rooms. I didn't even know what I did. New batches of students were lost as they didn't know their classrooms were no longer available. We had to tell them off and asked them to search for their classrooms elsewhere.

Here comes the first time I saw my own room. There were many historical paintings of various sizes with golden frames all over the dark classy green walls...from a little above the floor up to a little below the ceiling. Besides the paintings, my room had a really awesome view. Glass panel from floor to ceiling overlooking a huge garden that was actually the central-most region of the entire college. Actually, all our rooms were encircled around that garden...so everyone had this awesome view. The
difference between my room and others' was, I had unknowingly built a lookout and a playground which linked my room to the greens outside. From my room there was a short transparent tube (like those of underwater parks) connecting to a spheroid-shaped lookout. Inside the spheroid, was kinda like a reading/chilling area where there were bean bags, huge pillows, and a swing chair, on fake, soft grass...overlooking the gardens (of trees, stream, and flowers) below.. The spheroid was also connected to the playground via a rope ladder. The higher parts of the playground had flying fox and other hanging obstacles (search 'skytrex')..while the lower parts of the playground had many types of obstacles you could find in any other playgrounds...monkey bars, slides, ladders, swings, climbing stuffs, interactive stuffs.. Any of those whose views faced the garden had the access to my playground..

I also didn't realize earlier how beautiful the college was. The corridor outside my room had well polished marble floors, columns, and ceilings. Classical greek style. Beautiful lighting too. The ceiling was extremely high up... and everyone either skated, scootered, or..levitated..Everyone had their own superpowers. Levitating was one of it, I hadn't really discovered what mine was..

Everyone gathered around my playground for the announcement of our results. We were all playing around and that was when realized I could climb really well and speedy at it, it was as easy as walking on a flat road with some comfy shoes. That must be my superpower?

Didn't really remember what the rest of the dream was...but I really love my room :p

It hurts to return a book late

30 April 2015.

I was cleaning up my room a little as it had been a great mess for 3 months. Then I realized I forgot to return a book to the college library. So I went to the library, hand over my student ID and knew I had to pay some fines, probably about 10bucks max. 

The librarian told me that if a book was returned 11 days late, it would be about 1 buck per day, anything beyond that would be settled with the management. I was 17 days late. So..I was given a form to fill my details and handed it to one of the staffs. She took the form, brought it into one of the rooms, while I sat in front of he desk waiting. Not long after she came out with my form, tapped the calculator and wrote the amount on that form.

I was extremely shocked. 345 bucks! What? I told her that it's the holidays and that I was away and unable to return the book. She just nodded, agreed that it's holiday, and told me to pay. I got so mad that I stood up, slammed my hands on the table, and said 'Why should I pay this amount? I shouldn't have brought this book back here. Or maybe, I should just steal some books. I will not pay a single cent!" (kinda not logical..and the fact that I had 500 bucks deposit with the college). Everyone else in the library was looking at me. Didn't feel embarrassed at all..just. so much rage.

I went out of the library and started slamming my head real hard and punching my fists multiple times on the walls outside. The walls got damaged. Really, I was sooooo angry. Then I walked out the building, walked to the garden and got onto the front seat of a roller coaster. Stuck my legs out and left them hanging while the roller coaster was moving in circles...was a little out of my mind..

Then I woke up. Such a weird irrational dream.
