4. I drove to Grand Valley for the day so that i could be there for a festival. The entire park of Cedar Point was in the section of grass at GV next to Kirkoff- the same location where they are proposing to build the new library. (Which they've been promising since my freshman year. I've graduated and it still isn't built...which is an entirely different rant altogether.) I got there and was excited to ride the roller-coasters so I got on my favorite (which in real life is the Maverick, but this was something else.) It started raining really hard so the ride was shut down when I was on it. But the "emergency track" that our train took to get us down was even scarier than the original roller coaster. It plummeted straight toward the earth and I felt my stomach drop. After I got off the ride I looked for a friend who I know works at CP during the summers. I didn't find him...but I did find another old friend. In real life I finally got up the nerve to give up on this friend a year or two ago. I've tried staying in touch...but if the effort isn't mutual I don't understand why I should make myself stress about it. Anyway, in the dream this friend starting giving me some sob story about why she didn't stay in touch. And by 'sob story' I mean that she was literally sobbing. But I didn't care. I knew she was lying and didn't accept her apology.
I woke up angry, but without any guilt.
-----------------
I think the hardest thing about being away from GV is that when something bad happens to one of my friends, I can't rush over to there place to physically be there for them.

When one of your best buddies from high school is dating the bartender at the local bar, you get free drinks! Hooray for free things! Especially since I'm broke!
