The One With the Obscure U2 Reference

Date: 8/27/2019

I see a fairly large, old-school television (like the one I have, but black) in one of my neighbor’s front yards. There’s a bigger (but newer) one in Karen’s yard. At first I get nervous that the first one is mine, but then realize that it’s not. I worry that they’re damaged because there’s water on the ground, but I resolve to pick them up anyway ... Milton is eating a huge bowl of mac n cheese, and someone in the friend group is obsessed with buying smoothies for everyone ... I’m in the car with Kristen from work (but it’s definitely not her). She’s driving, and I’m sitting in the backseat as she lectures me. She says she was upset one time and missed some work, but then she got over it — and that that’s what I need to do too. My lips get very tight and my face gets warm and I say, “Kristen, my friend’s baby died.” ... I’m in a classroom (apparently I’m in school again) and I’m sitting really close to the board. My professor is talking about U2 and the song “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” and says, “Yeah, you know how someone in South Florida has to remake that song at least once a year.” A lot of people are confused by this reference (because it actually means nothing), but me and some guy in my class both crack up because we apparently get it ... I’m somewhere that’s sort of like City Place but I’m surrounded by people from church. People keep huddling into groups, and I realize that they’re being recruited for something. I see Caleb go over to Chad’s group, so I go over to where Renee, Brianna and Andie are. For some reason, we’re all wearing greenery prints. We’re taking a class with Andie as our professor, and we’re planning some kind of party.
