I just daydreamed for 20 minutes about what I might be doing on a day like today, a year from now.  I had a job, and students to call my own.  I was living in Queens, and I came home to walk Taters.  I lived in a small one-bedroom. It was nothing special, but it was mine.  We strolled around a bit.  I stopped into a store to buy something, and we went home.  I heated up some food (lets be real, even in my fantasies, I know I’m not cooking much).  Then I sat down on a cute blue and white striped couch with my dog, ate dinner, and watched TV. THESE are my fantasies.  This is all I want out of my life right now.  A job and a space of my own to build upon.
