For whatever reason we were trying to light a large pile of dried grass but was unable to do so by any means. There was a large network of fans installed and they blew so fiercely that it was impossible to even walk against the flow. “I learned about this kind of thing on my birthday” said someone next to me.

It was the last Tuesday of the school year and I was relieved that I had made it. I quickly found out however that we were assigned one more paper and final exam for Hum and that the last paper was due tomorrow. Everyone was already on the quad and the tables were set out for those that were graduating. I looked at the topics I had in the hallway and saw an option was to create a video. For some reason I thought that would be a good idea even though I had no time to do anything. I asked someone next to me what they were writing on and they told me they planned to discuss how filial love was expressed differently in Japanese families based on their own experiences at home.

I was outside on a sunny afternoon and looked down as a white envelope was handed to me. I opened up the piece of paper inside expecting the worst- I had gotten a D and an F for two separate courses.

It was the last day of class but I still needed to finish my physics homework. I hadn’t even started and I flipped open my book to find that I had 26 questions to do by 12 noon. My water bottle fell out of my bag and I asked the people around me to find the missing parts as I remembered it had a shattered cap.

Our homework assignment was to create a computer game and its manual. Only a few hours were left before we had to turn it in but I had barely started on the project. I had decided to make a very simplistic obstacle course game where one had to dodge moving circles.

Whenever I held my hand and foot against the light, there were spots where it appeared as if there were holes through my flesh. These spots were especially prominent on my ankle and palm as I kept inspecting them under the light from the ceiling. “I think it’s called Alder’s disease?” I told someone sitting in front of me. After searching on the Internet, I found it was actually called “Awoldelor disease” with the colloquial name being “loafpapers”. Coincidentally it was also the name of a custom Starcraft map, as stated on its Wikipedia page.

There was a Heroes of the Storm tournament and the prize for the winner was simply double of what they contributed to the prize pool.

There was a special prompt for those that requested extra time for their final Hum exam and I was one of those people. I tried to view the new questions on my phone but they were obscured by Facebook and Tinder notifications. Everyone around me were holding red sheets of plastic with text printed on them which were supposedly study guides that someone was handing out. I asked someone I knew from high school where everyone was getting these and he simply replied, “No one’s sharing” and walked away.

Someone was singing karaoke and one line of the song went, “One time, I learned how to make really good cheese.” Amazed at their singing ability, someone beside me asked who the girl was. The instrumentals to the song also resembled vaporwave. Apparently the name of the girl singing was “Hajeemer”.

The president of the college was about to hold a final Q&A session for the year. To pass the time before it started, I was sitting in another room watching a documentary. There was a scene of a car driving through a twisted uphill residential area.
