I was traveling with Susan and Kathy. We had driven to the Netherlands and were staying with a local host family. I had Sam with me, which was turning out to be a huge problem. We were in the house unpacking our stuff and I found a pile of poop on the floor. I went in to the bathroom to get something to clean it with. As I was cleaning, I noticed a spider web under a table filled with dead cockroaches - HUGE cockroaches! I pointed it out to Susan and Kathy and tried to enlist their help in getting them out. I went into a living room and saw another web of cockroaches, but there were kittens eating them. I decided that the cockroaches were left out on purpose for the kittens to eat. Susan and Kathy sat down to watch TV and I noticed something moving behind the TV. It was a bunch a little bear cubs! They all had little collars on and they came out from behind the TV to cuddle and play with us. I went back into the bathroom to rinse out a rag in the shower. The shower was very different than American showers and I couldn't figure out how to turn off the water. Susan ran in to help me. She said something about speaking Danish to our host family and I said, "They don't speak Danish! We're in the Netherlands, not Denmark. They speak Dutch!" Susan was very disappointed because she had planned a theme party for them and was going to serve danishes.

Tornadoes with Len and Russ
I was at a family reunion with Len, Susan, mom, and Aunt Kathy. Kathy was encouraging a relationship between me and Len, which I thought was weird, but we decided to go on a date anyway. We were driving down a road and I looked out the window and saw a band of tornadoes on the horizon. I counted 13 of them and told Len we needed to hurry and get back to the reunion. Then Len morphed into Russ and I was begging him to go back to my house so we could get Sam. He asked me how to get to my house and I realized I didn't know where we were because he had turned off the road somewhere. He started being an asshole as usual, but got us back on 12th street and headed toward my house. The tornadoes were getting closer and there was colorful debris flying all over the place. Russ pulled over in the left lane to pass a car and a huge semi was coming right at us. I closed my eyes and screamed as Russ tried to swerve out of its way. The semi clipped us and tore a hole in the driver's side of the car. I opened my eyes and couldn't believe we were still alive. Russ looked surprised as well. He started throwing money out of the window, as thanks for surviving.

Alan's Death
I was hiking with Alan and another person in the mountains somewhere. We had been drinking and Alan was a little tipsy. We came upon a deep canyon and Alan started running down the trail through the rocks, toward the bottom. He tripped over some rocks and plunged over the edge to his death. It was horrible - he hit several big boulders on the way down and bounced when he hit the bottom. It was obvious there was no way he could have survived the fall. I turned away screaming, "He's dead! He's dead! How are we going to tell Scheryl?"

Date with Michael
Amy set me up with a guy named Michael who worked at the Spirit Shop. On our first date we decided to take a trip to Mexico together, but we had to drive to Pennsylvania to catch our plane. We stopped to spend the night at a motel in Nashville. Susan and Sam were with us. There was a family staying at the motel with dogs and they were getting kicked out. When the motel manager found out I had Sam with me, he wouldn't let us stay either. I told Susan that she could take Sam with her to NY and that I would pick him up on the way back from Mexico.
Michael and I were having a really good time. When we were lying in bed that night he told me that he was falling in love with me. I didn't know how to respond, so I pretended to be asleep. The next day he told me that he had figured out a way to steal vodka from the Spirit Shop via Skype calls. I was shocked that he was stealing and wanted to tell Matt right away, but first I wanted to see how it was possible to steal something through a video call.
Next, we were back in Norman and Michael and some of the other shop employees had snuck into the shop at night and were stealing liquor. Michael was hiding in the ceiling and he would lower a device down onto the vodka shelf which would open the bottle and suck out the vodka. Then he would replace it with sugar water. In the middle of the heist, Matt came in the front door and Michael fell through the ceiling tiles on top of him.

Baby Pigs
I was sitting in the backseat of a parked car and a group of kids came up to the window. They were holding lots of tiny baby piglets in their hands. They were so cute! I asked to hold a few and a boy put some in my hands. They were so small and looked like fetuses. I accidentally dropped them into a puddle of water and they began swimming around like tadpoles, then growing right before my eyes.

Mom and the Lawnmower
Mom and I were pushing a lawnmower down the street, either trying to find a place to repair it or get gas. The street we were on suddenly came to a dead end and we found ourselves walking through a man's yard. I pushed the lawnmower over some wet concrete on a path by the house and left wheel marks. I hurriedly rushed back to the street before the man saw what I did. We continued walking and came to a shopping center/outside market in Norman that I had never seen before. We saw Lia and Kathy in a movie theater and I ran up to them. I was happy to see them because I knew they had a car we could borrow and we wouldn't have to push the lawnmower anymore. Kathy gave me her keys and said her car was parked in the middle of the parking lot right next to a red phone booth like the kind they have in London. We went back to the parking lot and realized there were many lots, surrounding this crazy circus-like marketplace. We walked and walked, looking for her car, but could never find it.

Liquor Store Robbery
Joe and Matt Sterr were planning a robbery of a liquor store on the west side of Norman. I was in the car with them, and they had placed handcuffs around one of my wrists. While they were in the store, the cops came and pulled me out of the car. I was trying to explain to them that I had nothing to do with the burglary and showed them the handcuffs as proof of my innocence.
Then my dream jumped to me living in a west Norman apartment. I was walking down Main Street toward campus wrapped in a bath towel. I was searching for a place to take a shower. The OU band was marching down the street playing music and I began marching along with them in my towel. We got to the stadium and I went in through a gate. There was a public bathroom with showers and many people were trying to get in. I decided to walk back home and use the shower in my apartment.
Then my dream jumped back to Joe and Matt. It was after the burglary and we were all at my apartment with Amy, Harper, and Declan. They had brought over Mouton and Tomer and I had Boomer, Rudy, and Sam. Rudy attacked Tomer and was biting him on the neck. Mom and dad showed up and mom was very distressed about having all the animals around. Dad picked up Rudy and Tomer and was trying to pull Rudy off.
