Hockey and Physics
I snuck into a Maroon practice so I could skate with my friends. Our first practice shift came, and I stepped on the ice. Lucinda was at wing, and the only spot left was center (I hate center!), but I was so happy to be skating with her again I didn't care and took the spot anyway. Then I realized everyone was staring at me. I looked down and I was still in my street clothes, green sandals and everything. I ran off to change. It took FOREVER, and when I was done there were only two minutes left on the clock. Sadness.
The rink was in an old physics lab building on the very east side of the Berkeley campus. When I realized I wasn't going to get to skate, I took my skates off, threw my gear bag on my back (strangely, it was full even though I still had all my other gear on), and set off to explore campus for old time's sake. Lots had changed, and I ended up getting really, really lost. It started to get dark, so I started running. Boy was that difficult with all that gear on (on my back, too). I ran past the east edge of campus, hoping to swing around and find the building from the other side. I ended up on another school's frat row. How did I know? One of the nice sorority girls (is that an oxymoron? in my world it is) told me.
I walked off in the direction I came, hoping to find campus police so I could ask for a ride to "the physics building with an ice rink inside." The end.

Heh... after reading the first few words I thought we didn't put any practices for Maroon in the schedule. Was a game canceled?
Then I read the next bit about the street clothes and realized - aha! a hockey anxiety dream!
If it's your first, welcome to the club! :-)

I don't have those often, but yes, I did think of you when I realized it was hockey anxiety. :)

Geez woman, give us some sort of "this was a dream, btw" warning at the front of the post -- don't make us all do double-takes until we think to go way down to the bottom to check whether you've given the post a 'Dream' tag. :-P :-)

My hockey dreams usually involve getting dressed. I'm always late and still dressing while everyone is warming up and getting ready for the puck drop already. And then I can't find my elbow pads. And then my skates...
Hey, I know, maybe you're supposed to center us in Vegas. ;D

Ack! Anything but center! I can't multitask!
McJedi: Consider these dream posts my mind trick. ;)
