One dream: Poor student.

The other week, I had a dream involving one of my freshman writing students, who mentioned in section like a month ago that she's lower income and got into school on some special program for lower income students:

I dreamt that I was omniscient and bodiless floating like 12-15 feet above the floor in a cavernous cold stone dining hall, and there was my student sitting alone at a table angrily thinking that she was eating pasta for dinner *again*...

She couldn't afford fuller meals off the every-entree-priced-accordingly dining plan like everyone else happy at the other, full tables all around her in the dining hall.
