A year in review (read-pizza party)
Last night while I was dreaming, I was visited by a ghost of my future reincarnation. Together we built a time machine where we went to the future to save my reincarnated future self. It was next Tuesday. Our class was debating if Beloved was a novel with a capital or lowercase B. My future reincarnation decided that this was a horrible end to a wonderful semester and we should have a great beginning to summer and this silly debate was the least desirable of any reality that could have forked. Therefore he told the class to hide our notes as if they were the book of sand and celebrate the camaraderie that grew and intellectual thought that we had carefully cultivated with a skill and dedication that rivals Alejandro and his plants.
With impressive conviction he presented the class a painting. The students gasped as they saw themselves depicted laughing and smiling, pizza in hand. "This is my true love," the ghost said.
"Pizza Party."
A second later, a man in a blue and red shirt appeared at the door. "I have 6 large pizzas for Laura Ambrose."
I woke up, on my stomach, sweating in my bed. The ghost of my reincarnated self from the future sent back to protect the future me from my past was gone. On my wall though hung a mysterious painting. I looked at the date flashing on my computer. It was Wednesday, the 18th. I had aged an incomprehensible 7 days in my sleep! As I rose, I looked once again at the painting. In the corner, behind all the gleeful appreciative students, were a pile of course evaluations. Nothing less than 5's could be found. The painting filled me with a sudden joy and happiness as I left, determined to explore the new and foreign world around me.

Wow, Bill. This blog is so very inspiring. Not only do you masterfully weave language in a way which epitomizes great writing technique, but your subject matter and literary allusion are outstanding to say the least.
*~*~* NOT TO MENTION THAT A PIZZA PARTY WOULD, IN FACT, BE THE BEST WAY TO CONCLUDE A GREAT SEMSTER OF LEARNING, PRODUCTIVITY, AND PASSIONATELY DEVELOPING OUR LITERARY SKILLS *~*~*
