Strange New School

Entering a well lighted warehouse type building I search for a bathroom. I find a bathroom open to the rest of a large room. I think warehouse because of all the exposed pipes and electrical cords. Since nobody is there I utilize the facilities. An attractive woman interrupts me by walking into the area. She has laundry and an area of the large open room set aside for her stuff. Her stuff includes a dresser, a bed, and not much else. Is this a cheap dormitory? Whatever it is I am embarrassed and wish to start over.

A friend picks me up at home. It is time to go to a new school. The dog is particularly full of energy. Deciding she will be fun we decide to take her along. I am not very concerned what my roommate, whose dog it is, will think. I sit passenger while my friend drives over highways. Neither of us is sure about the route to take since this is our first time making the trip. The highway has many different highways beside, above, and below all breaking away and coming back together in one great big jumble. It would be easy to get loss in this mess. Speeding along I am half afraid of finding our highway ending abruptly sending us hurtling to the ground and our deaths. The friend seems unconcerned and speeds full throttle. We miss a turn off and try to loop back around to make the correct path. My fears are realized and the elevated highway ends abruptly. Fortunately we fly through the air to land a short distance away on another highway.

I had no idea how to get to our new school but apparently my friend did for we arrive. Entering the full classroom we bring the dog in with us. She starts going beserk as if she needs to go outside to use the restroom. Being on the first floor I just crack a window to the outside and drop her through it. She lands safely. Finding a toy from somewhere she proceeds to throttle it with all her might. Growling and jumping she throws and shakes her head furiously trying to wring all the life out of her toy.

Something is wrong with this school. It is not right and the answer is locked away from prying eyes in the teachers desk. The friend I arrived with proceeds to act like a jerk to everybody. Trying to calm him down he grows more virulent, eventually flinging an antisemtic remark at me. Strange because I am not Jewish. Anyways, I will not share my riches with him.
