It's night and I'm doing my laundry. After I dry and fold my socks, I take them outside and put them on the driveway. My mom is getting ready to take my grandpa to the hospital, and we rent a green Jeep from a company called "Tough Bus" to drive him in. I'm driving in the parking lot of Best Buy with my window rolled all the way down, and I'm messing with my wallet. A man walking by tries to reach in and grab it, so I quickly roll up my windows, park, and run into the store. It's hot and humid inside, but the store itself feels nice and cool. Everyone there is part of this horror movie we're filming. The store is all white and completely empty, and all of us are wearing blue scrubs. One girl stays in the space between the two sets of automatic doors, and the rest of us are walking around the rest of the store.

I'm driving, and want to make the left turn from Lone Tree onto James Donlon, but the road is different. The lane I want to turn into is blocked by an island of dark green grass. It's going to be a very hard left turn to make and since there are no other cars around, I sit through the first couple green lights. The light is different also; it's one large rectangle that fades in and out of the different colors. I'm hanging out with Rose and we run into Michael and another guy I liked in high school. They were both complimenting me about the way I looked and I was blushing. The two of them get into an argument about something and then I noticed they're both carrying knitting needles, and working on different knitting projects. The other guy's project looks like a very wide black leather belt. I ask them if either one of them will teach me how to knit. I go to this museum, as I have an appointment with one of the docents to go on a "history walk." I forget the exact appointment time, so I get there quite early. I try to walk right back to the docent's office, but the woman at the front desk tells me that she'll go herself to tell "Zana" I'm there. While I sit down behind the counter to wait, a very heavy red-headed woman comes in, also wanting to see Zana. The front desk woman tells her she can wait, too, if she can fit behind the counter. Some science program at LMC was ending, and there was a disturbed guy who was very into it. He freaked out and was taken to a mental institution by plane, but when they were going over a field he accidentally dropped his favorite purple pen that he carried everywhere.

It's a Saturday morning, and I wake up to get ready for work. My parents have installed this new Homedics electric toothbrush kit in the bathroom. After I brush my teeth, I open a container of these little plastic flossing strips. As I'm about to floss, I hear a scratching sound in the bathtub. I open the curtain to look and there's a rat sitting next to the drain, chewing on something. I scream twice, run out (making sure to close the door behind me) and go into the living room. My dad is there watching TV. My mom is in the laundry room, and she goes into the bathroom to see the rat. She comes out and says it's dead, but says we should let the room air out before she cleans it. I remind her that I have to get ready for work, but when I see that it's already 5:00, I tell her that I'll go open the gate, but call the office to have them send someone else in for me. I go into my bedroom, and now the bathroom is a part of my room, so I have to walk right past the bathtub/dead rat when I go to grab a pair of jeans from my closet.

I was at LMC, and leaving after a midterm or final. It's raining outside and I'm carrying a lot of stuff, and I put my big psychology book on the ground behind the Jeep. There's a big puddle beneath the car and I make sure not to push the book into that. After I put everything else in the front seat, I decide to go ahead and bring the book back up into the front also. As I'm sitting in the front and arranging everything, I see the headlights of a car coming at me fast in the rearview mirror. I brace myself for the crash, but there is none. I look all around to make sure no car actually hit me, then put my seatbelt on though I'm still not ready to go. Then, the crash actually does happen. It's later, and I'm telling my mom about it and crying - not so much because of the accident itself, but because it freaked me out that I foresaw it. My parents are out, and my brother and sister and I are having leftover pizza for dinner. There's a half-slice with everything, and two large slices that had everything picked off of it except for cheese. My brother wants to eat that, but I convince him to give me one of the plain slices. My parents get home right then, and my mom goes straight upstairs because she doesn't feel well. I go outside to see my dad. He's getting out of this pickup truck that body's made out of parts from many different trucks. I make fun of it as a "Frankenstein" truck, but he says he wouldn't have gotten it except for the van always breaking down. I'm hanging out with Dana and Maria at the park in the evening. My office was very big, and had multiple rooms, including a bedroom that we were all laying down in. We decide to go outside, but a security guard comes and tells me that since the park closes in half an hour (it was 7:30) that we should go ahead and leave. I go inside to tell Dana and Maria, and we all change outfits before we leave. We all kiss each other on the cheek as we say goodbye, and since I am driving Dana home, I ask her if she wants a water bottle or soda for the road. I take a Dr. Pepper for myself.
