It was exam week and I walked into a classmate at the supermarket. I asked him how exams were going and he told me that he decided to pick up Japanese in his free time. He said how the alternations seemed to be easier than those found in Romance languages. I mentioned how I loved the relationship between h, b, and p sounds in the language but the point appeared to be lost on him. I went back to reviewing for Spanish.

I was handed a blue doll that was still in its box. It came with a red scarf - apparently this was the girl from the restaurant.

I was watching television when someone broad in two large blocks of foam. They had brought them in for some kind of art project. They planned to carve large heads out of the blocks. I mindlessly tapped on one of the foam blocks while asking if they were going to use both of them. I stopped when they told me that it was the case. They locked the door before starting to work as they said it helped them concentrate.

When I walked to the indoor swimming pool the lifeguard on duty told us to repeat the words “sinking things” after him because he had previously been saying it wrong the whole time. We talked about the inaccuracies of map projections and how Canada was a lot larger than typically depicted.

My computer science teacher was frustrated that he couldn’t give up on our class yet because he “still [had] someone in this sea of mediocrity”.

Someone was afraid to approach me because they thought that I would hurt them in some way. They only eventually came my way because they were egged on by their friends. “It’s unfortunate to have an outsider on our hands, isn’t it?” they asked. They were referring to me, of course, as we sat against the wall of an empty warehouse.

My cousin was told that she should learn Chinese after the customs officer looked at her passport. Apparently it was acquired at a 7-Eleven and listed her place of birth as Macau.

I fell asleep at a bench next to the road on a mountain and when I woke up, the entire place was covered with snow.

I walked through the bookstore until I got to the the exit on the other side. What lay beyond was a large expanse of baked white dirt. A black worm was wriggling about in an area where the ground was still somewhat wet. Apparently that worm was simply someone who was wearing a skin-tight bodysuit that allowed them to modify their shape and size at their will.

A lecturer came into the auditorium to speak about coming-of-age traditions in societies. He was pacing around the front of the stage until eventually he walked right through the door - still talking as if everyone could hear him. I was the only person to follow him outside as the confused voices from within the auditorium got louder.
