Seafaring Zombies

I had a nightmare the other night, and in an attempt to avoid studying for my last final tomorrow, I decided to write a little about it. This dream is one of those unique experiences that I managed to commit to memory despite a lack of effort on my part. I woke up around 6 AM after dreaming the first part of this story and after calming down a bit, I managed to fall into a troubled sleep where the dream continued where it left off, however the second part of the story was not as frightening or bleak as the first and then I awoke again, but this time it was not out of fright. I fell asleep again and the story picked up once more, and like the second time, the story was even less scary.

The characters in the story are a family aboard a stolen Coast Guard boat who, after travelling for days over the water have begun to run out of supplies. They run into an old rusty oil tanker where they meet an ecclectic group of individuals, some more sane than others. The dream developed as most zombie movies do and eventually ended with an infected member of the tanker's crew getting everybody (in case you couldn't tell, these are fast zombies, the only kind of zombies fit for a truly scary story). This is probably the worst story synopsis in the world, but I do have to get back to work. I may write a longer version in the future.

On an unrelated topic, my Abnormal Child Psychology textbook is missing chapters 9 and 11. The professor gave the class a printed out copy of chapter 11, but I paid like $90 for this text... WTF!?

Oddly enough, I don't usually dream, but managed to have a dream last night as well. It wasn't quite a good dream, nor a nightmare, but a little of both, and, strangely, to the narration of writing exercises.

And on the topic of textbook woes, I once had an ICS textbook (that I had to use for two classes) that was, in part, written by one of the professors in the ICS department, have a wrong index. That was annoying... I feel your pain.
