Okay so i havent completely come to terms with it yet but WE WON THE HP CODEWARS (a coding competition in teams) AND WERE ACTUALLY GOING TO HOUSTON TO COMPETE IN NEXT YEAR'S COMPETITION WHAT
Tumblr media
#what what what#what the fuck#(only adding the pic of me alone bc im too lazy to ask my friends for permission lol)#no but really what#like we knew we had options to make podium but no way we were going to win#we didnt even rlly believe we would actually make podium before starting bc there were some rlly good teams#(we kinda know everyone good so that was easy to spot)#and then after the competition we were like huh we did pretty badly we think#then we thought again and compared with last year and we said huh maybe not suuuuper bad but not rlly good either#(last year it was online and you could have a computer per person but this year it was only one so it was rlly different)#amd then we talked with the ppl that we knew and we were like huh were the best so far#then they talked to like everyone good bc they literally know everyone and they were like congraats youre 99% sure winning#and we were like naaaaah impossible you probably missed someone or smth theres no way#like we were pretty sure we were gonna be making podium by then but we somehow didnt even fully believe it#and then at the awards ceremony they gave the first girl team prize to someone else with less points and we were like aaaaa we made podium#and then they announced the third position we literally screamed bc since we knew ppls points we knew it meant we were first#i almost cried istg#like being 2nd or 3rd or 4th or first girl is like yeah im good but im not the best but like being THE best? being first is scary#it feels fake and confusing but also im so happy and i dont know how to express it aaaaaa its so weird#and the fact that were going to HOUSTON next year? what the actual fuuuck feels impossible#like were going to go there? a prize that is only for the first group? rlly? just like that?? whaaaat#also now hp has our data (we obv gave it to them) and they will likely be happy to accept us to work and/or get internships there so yayyy#but im still not over any of this it rlly feels fake like what the fuck one of the important hp research facilities asked for MY email??#what the fuuuuuuuck#also unrelated but they just had a paper mache how to train your dragon dragon just there in the corner of a football field like whaat#(a dragon that was bigger than us not some cute little figure eeh)#mine#life#codewars

Had this wicked dream that
My parents had twins, a boy and a girl, just lil babies
I became super protective of them
After the birth we went to the STORE and mom had us all grab as many bags of dog food as we can, and like, me, my brother, and my mom lifted the bags w ease
Ppl were getting upset that we were taking all of the cheap food and i realized we were literally taking all of it and told my mom off
She got mad at me and i left to go to the claw machines and a few workers were like "yo those are shut off hol on" and this boy came up to me and helped me
He managed to get me one toy, i wanted two, a blue and a pink whale stuffy, one for each of my new siblings
Idk what happened to the pink stuffy (the only one we got) but i remember talking to this kid on a roof, then jumping off and throwing darts at a fence
I talked to him amd asked him what it was like being a big brother and asked him how his lil brothers (who are also twins--i also said i knew them too and i had a flashback???)
The older worker came out and the boy left and chatted w me abt the toys then. Was like "if you stay you can get more toys if your parents do that again" and i was so confused as to what he meant like "HUH" then he explained he meant like i could get a job there and i was like sure ok
We walked up these stairs and he turned and was told to go to the "square" (it was a school building now) and i was like tf is that and this girl i know irl pointed to my side and it was a low hanging ceiling cubicle pf a section of the hall and i went in to see kids in a bunch of seats
This old lady talked and brought me up and i perked up (i.was sitting down now) and she asked me if i had a zipper/zapper (like a pager i think idk)
Then this black girl with blonde hair rolled her eyes and the scene shifted. I was at a restaurant or smthn w the older worker from before and we were talking and that girl was there and the worker was talking abt my new pager and how it worked and apparently that girl was going thru the same w another worker
We both reached out for eachother whining and joking abt our pagers
Scene changes and i watch her play baseball and shes better than the best player around here (whos some white boy) and im impressed
We hang out, walking down the sidewalk and we get super close
Then the next scene im playing baseball w her and i jump up super high and shit and run super fucking fast (LIKE THE TWILIGHT BASEBALL SCENE LMFAOOO)
and thats the last i remember
