The end is near

Summer break will be here soon. The birds have begun to chirp their sweet songs. The Montanan weather is fluctuating more than a pregnant woman's mood. The snow on the mountains is melting. To normal people, summer means warmer weather and trips to the lake. For college students, there is an intimidating guard at the gates of summer: finals week.

For this class there is no final exam (thank god) but there is a final project or paper due.
I have two ideas but I'm at war with myself trying to decide.

The parallels of mythology and Shakespeare
Or
Shakespearean names and character breakdowns

I am kinda leaning towards the names and references of names because I myself possess a lot of names, but on the flip side I think that the parallels topic would be interesting to do.

Help?

Dreams of being awake

What are my dreams? Mundane reruns of my daily life.

Work.

I work at a grocery store and at my store we have codes for ever item of produce. I have remembered hundreds of numbers just for produce. Fruits, veggies, leafy greens, all have codes and all are crammed within my head.

Back to my dreams

Every night, without fail, I dream of typing in those damn codes.
Turnip: under stew vegetables, 96
Tomatoes on the vine: 252
Organic Granny Smith apples: 324
Jicama: 126
Red grapes: 39
Mini watermelons: 114
Organic bananas: 326

Codes. I dream of stupid codes. I pick up the item. I put the item on the scale. I type in the code. The register beeps. I move the item to start the cycle over. And over. And over. I never rest while I rest. The rest can rest, but I unlike the rest, will not rest like the rest. I shall put this post to rest.
