Had a dream last night in which my mom died suddenly of cancer. On Friday I found out she was sick and by Sunday she was gone. I was in some kind of Holes-esque camp for delinquent kids, and the staff there wouldn't let me go home to see my family. My grandmother (alive in this dream) and uncle came to see me instead, but as soon as I touched my grandmother to hug her I was almost knocked over by this awful sensation that was somehow like having my soul sucked out from my back. I don't know how to describe it, exactly, but it is one of the most horrifying things I've experienced in recent memory. I woke up terrified right after that and was still so much in the dream that I couldn't move for a few seconds. Totally scary. I had to call my mom as soon as I could move again just so I could hear her voice and stop wigging out.

And now I have to go to work and figure out how to tell my prof that I don't have his paper, again. *sigh* Maybe I can claim it's an April Fool's joke?

Goddamn holiday. I think I still have an adrenaline headache from last night.
