Short Stories with Tragic Endings

It is January 3rd in my dream and I am supposed to go back to college today. I have no idea why its the 3rd because
it was the 14th in real life and I go back to school on the 17th. Anyway, I am at home, but it is not my house. It is
more like an arcade in the city. I walk into a large room to the left of the entrance and there are two full cockpit
simulator things, one on each wall. Both have a personal tv screen and there is one massive screen on the far
wall. I get in the cockpit on the doorway side wall and begin watching a movie through my laptop. The movie starts
playing but then I stop it and remove the disc because I need to do something with it. I do not recall what that was
but it took a while. After it finished, I popped the disc back in and watched the movie until I realized I had to go to
Millersville. I got up and left, taking no bags or anything. I am suddenly in my dorm room and campus looks very
unfamiliar. Travel time was instantaneous. it is now 8:30 am and I am trying to think of what class I have at 9:00.
I go home, again instantaneous travel time, to check my schedule. I don't know why I had to go home to do that.
Before I can check my shedule, I get sidetracked. I sit down in the cockpit thing again and start playing a PlayStation
game. I'm not sure if it was Okami or Red Faction II. I had made a good bit of progress then my brother came in
and decided he wanted to play Dynasty Warriors 5 on the other machine in the room. Only the controller he used was
somehow connected to my machine and he somehow had reset my machine so I lost everything I had done. I got
really pissed and he argued that I could just do it again but I said "No, I can't. I have a lot of school work to do". I went
up to my room which was just as strange as the rest of the house, logged on to my laptop and check MAX
( Millersville University's student information system ) and I go to my class schedule. Instead of seeing my classes
however, there is a festive snow theme background ( usually the background is just white on MAX ) and the schedule
just shows school information. It was something like this:

January 10 - School closed
January 11 - School closed
January 12 - School closed
January 13 - *Something about a normal schedule*
January 14 - School closed due to inclement weather
january 15 - Normal Schedule

So I wouldn't be going back for a while and I decided to watch my movie again. I went downstairs to the "game room"
and my brother was no longer there. Suddenly I was talking to my best friend and he started a bet with me, the details
of which are kind of fuzzy but had something to do with how many women you can fit on one jet ski and race. The dream
then snapped to me riding a jet ski across the ocean then I woke up.
