Malaria Meds

Been inspired to write again.
Recently, I started taking chloroquine in preparation for Spring Break in Guatemala.
Consequently, I have been having some epic dreams.
1) It felt like everyone in my life showed up in this one - really unconnected people. I think at some point my grandmother passed down some sort of family wisdom down to me. At another point in the dream, my hallmate walked past me.
2) Today, I took an intense nap and dreamt I was at college, although the campus was next to a huge lake. People were swimming in it despite the cold and rain because it was the cool thing to do. My friend Emily and I were in a room with 4 other people who were waking up from sleep after a hard day's night. Her friend was there, sleeping, but her friend's boyfriend was either awake or talking in his sleep. I heard him say "I don't want to be with her." Emily and I decided to head out of there and go eat in the Duke Faculty Commons. She just wanted to get something to go, so I was going to do the same. Then we heard a man being served by a waiter ask him if they catered "last meals." He wanted to bring his dying father in for the best last meal he could provide him.
