Hidden Riches
In my dream last night I was going through an old trunk of mine and ended up finding all kind of loot! There was a check for like $1500, another thousand in cash here and there, and I even found a rare dollar bill that was made to look like lace ribbon.
Things going on in my life: I started an internship at the Colorado School of English. I am actually getting paid very little while the internship, but I love the environment- all the international students, and the teachers- one happens to be an old favorite friend of mine! The director is french. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to put my french language training into practice! Languages are definitely a special skill of mine, and it feels great to be in an area that complements this. The position may lead to a full time job! Hopefully it will pay more than minimum wage so that I can stay. I would be an admin, I’m assuming.
Also, I sold a bunch of that Soviet propaganda that was found by a dumpster. It was given to me by a friend who knows I’m czech and interested in these cultural and historical type of things. I was alerted by another friend they were worth some money. He ended up buying some as an amateur collector.
What other riches are lurking beneath the surface??? I look forward to their revelation!
