Note: This was a dream of mine. I have this warning here because some visitors have thought my life had just gone to pot, when really they were only reading one of my crazy dreams. :)

I was attending the University of Kentucky and was a freshman. I was in the band but it was the same band as my high school’s, it had just moved to UK. We had a special dormitory in which we lived that was really big and like an old house. Our band director wouldn’t let us leave the house except to go to classes or to do band activities; he made us practice during most of our free time. During one of the sets for our marching show, myself and two guys were crouched on the ground near each other. One guy kept telling the other the wrong instructions for the next moves, so I griped at him. Nobody had any instruments.

There was no real privacy in the house; when I was sitting at one of the desktop PC’s in the living room, for example, the other band members kept peering over my shoulder to see what I was doing. All of the PC’s ran Windows and I complained that they should be running Linux. Since we were unable to leave the house of our own volition, it was even worse because I was unable to use Linux at all; my own personal computer wasn’t there. I started talking to a friend online and told him how much I disliked being in band now. I hadn’t even played my saxophone for an entire semester but the band director was going to make us play soon. I finally decided to quit and went to tell the director. We sat outside, me in a swing on a swingset and him standing back a few feet. He asked me questions about why I wanted to quit. One of the main ones was that I was unable to use Linux and that we were unable to leave the house. As I was talking to him, I looked down and saw that my underwear had falled down around my legs; I was wearing a skirt. He noticed and said that that happened to him all the time.
