The Real and the Not Real World

This weekend was my first time to DM the D&D crowd. The players aren't creative enough to really make it fun but it helps pass the time. Ortiz just came to the dorm today and I'm hoping he can help me bring something new to the atmosphere.

Mom and Dad surprised me with a visit yesterday and it was really good to see them. It is so easy to slip into thinking about the outside world with them that it's almost a shock coming back to the dorm. I wish I could just walk out with them.

Today at work we raked the park. It was really easy work, though Cochran kept getting mad because we weren't in sync. The worst part was raking toward the burn pile and being completely surrounded by smoke.

After work I asked Cochran for a job change but he said he needed me because I am full-time. I asked if he could put me on A-team so I could get out of the dorm more often and he said he couldn't promise that. So I didn't really make any headway at all. Oh well...
