Combo of things from my past and things from the present

I was in a camp bunk with a bunch of people and the adjacent bunk had the boys who were staying with us. The bunks were attached on the ends, like two rectangles with the short ends connected. I went over to the boys bunk to introduce myself and there were two guys there that I knew but can't remember now who they were; I think they were boys from high school. When I cam back over to the girls side, more girls had arrived but one of my friends was talking to a business contact of mine that I know in real life. I turned to a girl I had already befriended and asked why that girl was talking to my contact and she told me that that girl was interested in jobs, too, so she wanted to reach out. I rolled my eyes and went to go make my bed, thinking that my contact wouldn't have anything to do with any other girls.

Then, the bunk started to flood and techno music poured over us from the boys bunk. I went to the rent-a-car nearby and went to look for jobs in town. I reached into my purse and found several prescriptions for different people from the girls and boys sides of the bunks - they'd asked me to get them filled while I was in town - and en route to the CVS, I saw where A.V. lived. He was one of the guys who had given me a prescription to fill, but when I saw he lived literally around the corner from the pharmacy, I was annoyed because he could have done it on his own.

I walked into the CVS, which was designed more like a bank, and sat down with a woman at a desk, as if I was opening an account. It took her a little bit to look up A.V.'s prescription, scan my ID card (with one of those old credit card copiers that were used before the swipers used now became ubiquitous) verify that I was allowed to get it filled for him, etc. so as she was doing that on her computer, I looked around at all the other people in the bank-like CVS. I saw Cory Monteith and I went over to say hi to him, but I called him Finn; I handed him his prescription and told him that since he was here, he could fill it himself. He thanked me for bringing it to him then continued his conversation with his bank teller at her desk. I went back to the woman who was helping me and a line had formed of other people trying to fill prescriptions because they'd thought she was available since I had walked away momentarily. I squeezed my way past all of the people and sat down at the teller's desk, and a bunch of people groaned and mumbled that I'd cut in line, so I turned around and glared at them and informed them that she currently was working on my prescriptions so they should back off until I was done being helped.

All of a sudden I was back in the bunk and a few of my friends from SA were there, but the water in the bunks from the flood hadn't gone down. It had stopped filling up but now there just was standing water. My cat, Cash, was there, as were a few other cats that were not mine, but they all played nicely together. I went back to my business contact, who had just wrapped up the conversation with one of the other girls from before and she assured me that I was her first priority and she'd continue to help me find a job.
