minervasoloDidn't get into Cambridge. Judging from the letter, I don't think i've been pooled either.
Anyway, that's that.
Had very odd dream last night. i was in a particular castle, which i think is in Falmouth, except in the dream it was Hogwarts. there's a garden at the front, then a bit behind (ruined) and tower up one side and some stars leading down to the beach and some old cells. Actually, hte more I think about it, the more i doubt it's in Falmouth, because the only castle I know in Falmouth is complete. It's going to bug me now, becaue I know it's a real place.
Anyway, i started out as a teacher at Hogwarts, and Ginny diguised herself as Snape and got found out but Snape was okay with it and various things happened. This was more part of a separet dream, but the location remained the same throughout. I was a mary sue character, sleeping with a lot of members of staff. Very self-indulgent Mary Sue, which i loved because she was so easy to hate.
And then the world ended and no one really noticed, and I was me and everyone was real people again. I assume some time had passed while I was being fascinated at the mary-sueness of myself within the dream. And the castle was a bit ruined. Some of the steps that ought to have led to hte beach and the cells overlooking the beach now led to a large courtyard type space with two huge gates to the outside. Except it wasn't the outside outside the room, if that makes sense - they ought to have opened on solid stone. One opened onto a river, and I don't remember what hte other one opened on to.
First time around I was with a group of people when we found this room. A small group of girls were there. it had been a girl's school (instead of Hogwarts now) and two teachers (evil teachers, i might add) had taken some of the girls through one of the gates, but then closed it before the others could get through. And I think we helped them, but I don't really remember, but we ended up through the gate which the teacher and co hadn't gone through.
And then we climbed back up the hill to the castle. Yeah, wonderful logic, i know. Got there and it was Hogwarts again. I think Chloe was with me this time. Some swimming was involved at some point, and climbing one of the apple trees at the end of my garden, but eventually we got to the castle and found that since the world had ended (apparently a very long time ago now) there was no food left, and the only water was in birdbaths nd ponds. Enough water for us to survive, but I couldn't understnad why htere was no food when before it had all been magically renewed on the tables. Chloe explained to me that it had to be cooked first, and there was nothing elft to cook.
So guess what clever thing we did next? We went back to the prison courtyard bit, which was full of girls. We'd gone back in time by passing through the gate, you see, which I could possibly have figured out becuase the castle had turned back into where it was in an earlier part of the dream. We watched the evil teachers herd most of the girls out and watched as the gate began to swing shut. So we jammed it open. Woo us! I don't know who i was with at this point, but Mared who i knew from GHS was there. I wanted to go back and look for food and she jammed the door open for me (it was a close thing!). She wasn't in a hurry to anyhere either.
Looking for... something, i found that the castle was now part of the Pinns's house. Sophie Pinn was my best friend wahen i was younger. I soke to her younger brother, who felt the end of hte world allowed him to do anything he liked, and saw his mother, who'd given up trying to stop him. I don't know where sophie or her dad were, but I went into Sohpie's room and had a poke around for something to remember her by. She had an small oragne cushion nest to the bed and a crowded dresser. I took a reel of film in the end, but left the camera. GOd knows where I was expecting to have it developed.
All i had was a bag with my phone, a book, and this reel of film in. I ran into Hagrid on my way out (hogwarts again) who was showing someone around. I explored for a bit too and wandered up the thin tower, where there was a red devil thing made out of cast iron pipes, very long and thin, which folowed the spiral staircase around the wall, and red writing and a woman's voice talking about how she'd had sex with this devil, or something. I sat on the devil statue for a bit, then got bored and made my way back to the prison/courtyard place.
Mared was gone, but there were two people there, possibly the same people as Hagrid had been showing around. They reminded me a bit of Neil and Christine Hamilton. One had a bag, the other a plastic box. I packed the items from the bag into the plastic box, which included a mobile phone just like my mothers. They were a couple, nad I thikn the man was dying. Or just sleeping. Didn't pay a lot of attention to themm. Packing the plastic box was far more interesting. We were going into a river. i didn't want things to get wet. Who knew when mobile phones might come in handy in a post-apocalyptic world without any form of communication? My phone didn't fit in the box, but they had theirs, so i wasn't too concerned about getting it wet and breaking it.
So then we left through the huge iron gate and started down the shallow, bubbling river, and that was the end of the dream.
There are spects of that which would make a good book, and there are several more which are aspects of good books. ^_^ And now I will go and tidy my room and find out what's going on tonight and maybe go back to sleep again.

Date: 31/12/03 10:43 am (UTC)I wonder if there's any subject, at any university, where the odds are a million to one, ignoring interviews and grades etc. Just applicants to places.
