[Askalibrarianqa] What a dream I had !

[Hime, Laurie]

Hi, 

You guys are never going to believe this one, but here goes:   Last
night from six to seven PM I was on duty for Ask a Librarian.  I got a
few regular questions, and then a spate of them from some middle
schoolers.  The questions from the middle schoolers were all from one
class assignment.  Each student had a differerent (sort of unusual)
vocabulary word.  The assignment was to use the word in a delcarative
sentence without using a search engine for ideas, but Ask a Librarian
was an acceptable source.

So, of course, this ask a librarian entered these words into search
engines for the students, and sent them examples of ways the words were
used in sentences.  She even went so far as to help construct a sentence
or two and proof read a couple. 

Well she must have had this on her mind when she went to sleep, for lo
and behold, a dream came, consisting of some of these very same words
flying around her room and sorting themselves into sentences, and then
rearranging themselves willy nilly.  I only hope my dream sentences
would have passed the assignment!    Some of the words were: somber,
rapacious, sullen, compulsive and  a few more I can't recall.   So, have
any of you experienced Ask a Librarian Dreams?
