My room was a mess and I was already running late. What’s worse is that I didn’t even know when classes were supposed to start. It was 7:20 and I was still in my room, unable to find a schedule anywhere. I rushed downstairs.

Here I was, wandering though the hallways, pondering over where exactly the library was. I wasn’t headed for the library but it was on my mind anyways. Before class, I set my stuff down in a tatami room. It looked like where I was going to be spending my year living in. I got into the classroom which housed quite a large number of desktop computers. What’s odd was that I recognized so many faces here even though I know that no one from my school should be here. The professor was at the front of the room and her name was “Gulden Neugens”. ((Where the hell did that even come from?))

We were on a school trip. We seemed to be in some kind of large garden. At one point we were on a train and passed by a canopy of trees. “What do you see?” The teacher asked. There appeared to be many stuffed monkeys on the trees. After getting off, a student was inquiring whether or not monkeys could spontaneously regenerate their limbs after chopping them off. In a rather unamused manner, the teacher responded that monkeys are like dogs, if they could regenerate their limbs, then all of their vital organs would be a blob.

After a bit of walking our instructor pointed out how there was a specific spot where we could very clearly see a rainbow. I stood on the spot and there it was: an image so crisp that it was unlike any other rainbow I had ever seen.

“How does it do that?” I asked.

“From the hose other there,” he pointed behind me.

And sure enough, there was a sprinkler across the courtyard.
