You are easily enamored with your own fantasies today as the Moon moves through your 12th House of Imagination. You might even forget when to return to reality. Although drifting off into your dreams is often a rejuvenating activity, you won't be able to turn your back on your responsibilities now. Planning a temporary escape can work as long as you cover your bases in the real world.
Oh shut up, horoscope. I don't need you rubbing it in that my Inner Mind Theatre is more awesome than what's actually going on around here, and I'm not allowed to fully retreat into fantasy.
I had a really strange dream Saturday night/Sunday morning. I was in my current job and doing a site visit to a university in Nagoya with a short-term intensive Japanese program. Upon arriving in Nagoya, I noticed everything was different. It was, for lack of a better phrase, broke down. Like the city leaders had just "let it go." I felt very sad that the city I love had suddenly gone to pot.
I met with the foreign students at the school and asked them how they liked everything, and of course they said everything was great. I was kind of jealous of them (in a positive way), so I said, "Wow, wish I could stay with you all and study. I could use a little brushing up on my Japanese." They said, "Why don't you?," so I stayed! I completely shrugged off my duty as a study abroad coordinator and said, "To hell with it all, I wanna study again!" It was a Monday, and classes were over for the day, but I knew I had a lot of homework to catch up on since the program had been going for a week already. However, as I looked around, I couldn't focus on getting any studying done because I wanted to explore Nagoya and figure out why it had changed so much. (I also really wanted to find the nearest Coco Ichi and get some curry. XD) Then I woke up because Mom called me.
As I hung up the phone and wandered into my kitchen to make coffee, I wondered why I'd have such an odd dream. Was it the chocolate I ate before bed? Had I been stanning and translating too much and worked up some emotions?
Then I realized it was Easter morning. It was nine years ago Easter morning that I left my family and went to Nagoya to study.
