Vegan Cupcakes

I dreamt that I had been relocated and for a reason unknown to me, I
had to live with a family that had a bunch of high school kids. So I
was being forced to attend high school classes when it dawned on me: I
have a high school diploma, I'm probably not even eligible to take
these classes! So I went to the counselor and told her what I'd
figured out and she clapped and excitedly confirmed that I in fact did
not have to attend those classes.

Instead, I found myself at culinary school with a fellow Duke student
who will be working closely with me this year. She really, really
wanted to become an expert chef and I was just in for the fun. It
turns out I was on her cooking team for the final examination, and we
had to make vegan cupcakes and a fish dish. I was helping her out at
the really, really, intense final moments and she had to step out of
the room for a few seconds, right when the fish was done cooking. In a
moment of brilliance/carelessness/reckless impulsion, I couldn't find
the plate or any sign of a side dish for the fish. I had no idea where
to put it. So, I put it on top of one of the frosted cupcakes.

Right at that moment, the girl came back in, furious and in shock over
what I'd done. She began to freak out and I immediately apologized,
not having a clue what to do to fix it. I assured her I would take all
the blame and explain exactly what had happened to the director of the
program. Then time was up and all we could do was wait for the
judgment. Then the director came out and told us that while that weird
thing had happened with the fish, she was able to put the mistake
aside because it just tasted soooo good.

My friend got her degree and I completed the program without one, just
a certificate of achievement, and that's all I remember about the
dream.
