The first nice day of the spring and I'm stuck inside. :(

This paper I have to write for my psych class is driving me crazy. I know what I want to say but I can't seem to say it and I feel like I'm repeating myself over and over again! I'm writing about Freud and dream interpretation because I have some really crazy, vivid dreams, and I thought I could learn something. He believes that dreams have two types of meaning: manifest and latent. Manifest is the superficial content. If you dream you're driving a car, the act of driving a car is manifest content. The latent content is the underlying, subconscious meaning behind the act of driving the car. It could mean you want to be in control, or it could mean that you want to get away from something. I guess what I don't understand is the obvious dreams...like if I dream that I'm kissing Josh, it seems obvious to me that it's because I want to kiss Josh, right? It seems like the manifest and the latent content are one and the same. It's interesting, but hard to write about for some reason.

I figured blogging could help with my writer's block, but now I find that I can't think of anything to write about here either... Nothing has really changed. I'm still sad about things with Josh, but I'm starting to accept that it is what it is. We just can't make it work.

Oh, unbelievable...I can't believe I haven't blogged about this because I can't believe it's actually happening - Natalie's dad agreed to buy a townhouse as an investment property and we're going to live in it next year! I never thought in a million years that Nat's dad would actually consider it. There's a house two doors down from the property that Jason's buying and Nat wants it. I hope it's because she likes the house and not because she likes the neighbor...if you catch my drift... She keeps telling me that Jason is just a friend, and she's dating some other guy, but I can't help but think that Jason is playing a large part in this whole thing. Every time I'm with her we "just happen" to run into the guy. He probably thinks it's me - that I want info on Josh - but we never talk about Josh so I maybe he doesn't think I'm a complete weirdo.


Okay, I should get back to my paper. I promised myself I'd finish one more page today and I really want to spend a little time outside before the sun goes down! Until next time...
