So I had another one of my dreams. I was in some lecture hall, listening to some rather calculus-y lecture, I suppose. We were sitting on this oddly high seats, painted a glossy white, with staggered legs so that they would fit on the steps of the auditorium. It was an odd lecture, the speaker was a biology professor I had that led a seminar class that I had during last spring, Craig Moritz. And we were handed some worksheets to do on fractals. Even odder was the company I found myself with; Alex was sitting to my left, while some Asian wiseass was sitting to my right making some crack about “kidneys are for kids and pigneys are for pigs” or something. There was some GSI type setting up this absolutely gargantuan Macbook (like, big screen TV sized) on a table to the right of all the seating, setting up some crap to project onto the screen that faced the right (crappily designed room, eh?). And that day I had received a short type-up we did in lecture the day before apparently, that we typed up using our laptops, or if we did not bring our own in, they lent us some normal sized Macbooks. I did very well in the paper…excepting that I forgot to put my name on it, which lost me almost all my points. Somehow I was left with 6 or so points though…and for some reason they were able to deduce that I was the one that sent in the paper. The contents of the paper were odd, I remember reading the name “Gary Gan” on the paper; I don’t know who that is at all.
So Sunday, my dad and I went to take a look at cars in Daly City. Specifically, Toyota cars. Apparently he had looked in the paper and found one that was alright or something. And so that was my first time crossing over the Bay Bridge in ages; I wasn’t aware of why it got shut down for a week or so last week until I was made aware recently crossing the bridge, apparently there is a new s-bend so they could take apart part of the old bridge or something.
There were a lot of Chinese salesmen at the dealership. And apparently, they were doing pretty well; they had moved to their new location a couple years ago and they are pretty much busy most of the time. Really convenient for my dad and such…especially since Colma Bart station was next to the dealership. Which doesn’t make sense. Because it is in Daly City. Really, I think they should start making more sense. >>;
So my dad actually decided to buy this car…it was weird, he started to get somewhat teary-eyed maybe, and I think his voice might have started to break a bit? But yeah, I didn’t talk much, because that was just weird. So he bought a silver Corolla that has a plug for listening to an MP3 player, so I am satisfied. It took longer than I thought it would to get done with the paperwork, but I guess it is apparently a pretty big thing and such. There were a lot of signatures to be had, on long-ass pieces of paper the length of a yardstick, and nearly every single piece of paper had those carbon paper backing so they could have copies. So many signatures, my hands started to shake a bit, since I don’t use cursive at all. It reminded me of SATs, with their many signatures, and that one time we had to copy down a disclaimer in cursive, after years of not having to use cursive at all. My dad, he paid partially in cash (damn), and so I learned that they detect counterfeits by marking with some special pen that would turn black if it was not a real bill. It was a bit disturbing to see that amount of cash though, laid out in a mat, being counted out…weird. They also had to check both our credit scores, which I was not aware I had one, although I guess I would, what with all that borrowing for school…but, yes, now, I have some sort of legal name thingy linked to this car. Even though what with my mediocre driving skills I won’t be driving it or any other car any time soon.
When we left, I saw a kid playing Pokemon on his DS, which was rather marred with stickers of Pokemon. It looked like he was fighting Maylene’s gym. I was smiling inanely at him playing pokemon, so he probably saw me and went “wtf is wrong with this guy, he’s probably a pedo.”
