Divination, future foretold Options

[tisoz]

Has anyone had this happen to them? Especially IRL, especially for something significant?

Reminiscing about the college days, I recalled about being accepted for a creative writing course. Students were supposed to submit examples of their work months ahead of time. When I heard about the course, that time had passed. During the enrollment period, it was closed to capacity. At this university if you wanted in a class, one (or I anyway) almost always had to try to get in after the semester started. (I don't think there was any course I got turned away from.)

Anyway back to the writing course. It turned out there were 6 or 8 people wanting into the class. I remember one girl kept insisting she deserved to be in it and she had won this award and that award, etc. The teacher said no one had in fact followed the submission guidelines and why didn't we draw lots for it?

I have terrible luck. I think I may have one one draw and it may have been fixed. So I was not looking forward to drawing lots. The one girl again listed why she should be in, I guess she had rotten luck, too. So the teacher says everyone can plead their case why they should be accepted since this one girl let everyone know several times and someone else was doing the same after listening to her a couple of times.

So they go down the line and I'm hearing some pretty impressive reasons. I'm last in line and have no real reason. When the teacher asked me I started making stuff up like having a couple news articles published in the local paper (had one), had a couple magazine articles published and was wanting to brush up because I had been asked to rewrite a tv script. Pretty much total BS. The teacher says really, you may be overqualified.

The thing was, while I was waiting my turn, I had a premonition. It was like someone whispered in my ear draw for it, you will win. The closer it got to me the more confident I became that I would win this lottery. I never win anything based on luck. So when she said really, I said, "No, I made it all up. Can we draw now." Gave her a good laugh and she starts tearing paper into pieces and writing on them while the one girl starts saying again why she should be in the class.

We draw the paper out of a hat. I go last and pick the winner. There is a bunch of bickering saying I cheated because the hat wasn't over my head. I went last, I didn't even get a choice. But the voice whispers in my ear do it again, you'll win. So I tell the teacher we can do it again. She looks surprised and tells everyone I can go first, makes a point of holding the hat way over my head, and letting them no she doesn't want any complaints. I pull out the winner again and slam it on the desk before anyone even gets to choose, saying, "There's 2 out of 3, no sense keeping everyone in suspense."

That was about the clearest premonition I have ever had.

Anyone else?
