I was supposed to be taking pictures of the dinner party but didn’t feel comfortable walking around with a camera. I fiddled with the knobs and buttons in my seat while waiting for some kind of guidance from the two ‘producers’ who were apparently supposed to mentor me.

I followed a colleague to their dorm room which was more like an alcove at the far end of a common room separated by a heavy curtain. The space nonetheless seemed rather comfy if not a little cramped. It was already pretty late but I still wanted to shower before turning in for the night. There was a standalone bathroom in the middle on the common room that was furnished with black marble tiles and small spotlights. I only hopped into the shower for a bit, not even taking my shoes off as I rinsed my body.

My coworkers went to the park ahead of me because I had to use the restroom. When I finally found them near the basketball courts, I saw them drawing on the concrete with chalk.

I ran up to the top floor of the bare concrete building that was still under construction. I heard Gangnam Style blaring from the distance except all of the lyrics had been replaced by various “fuck you"s spliced together. I looked down below and saw an old friend running full speed towards the building. I jumped back and ran to the stairs to get to the roof. As I was hanging onto a concrete pillar, I felt a bee fly into my left ear.

We got together as a group to make up some original lyrics to video game soundtracks. I struggled to form any coherent lines to a track from a Mario game.

The new semester was starting soon and I was feeling anxious about not having registered for classes yet. Two children asked me if Taiwanese people didn’t like singing. I asked them why they would think that. Apparently their host family told them to stop singing while they were brushing their teeth.

I was in a dungeon out of some kind of video game. I had been turned into the size of a small fairy and needed to retrieve a magic wand. I looked around and up the stone walls with my dad until we saw it perched on a shelf way beyond reach. We’d have to find another way around to get it.
