monday june 9

today i set my alarm for 6:30 am, in order to wake up in time for my convocation ceremony. having had plenty of sleep the day before, i ended up waking up at 6:00, and being asleep off and on between then and 6:30. during this time, i had a half-awake dream that the reason i was, in fact, waking up so early was because today would be the day when i lip-synced three chapters of r. kelly's trapped in the closet in front of a large live audience. i was nervous, given the fact that i hadn't practiced at all, but still fairly confident that i knew the lyrics and the rhymes well enough to perform them at least adequately, if not fantastically; i was getting pretty excited! when i woke up for good at 6:30 and realized that the big event of the day was just boring old convocation, it cast a bit of a dark cloud over the remainder of the morning.
