uninteresting :: rich

i have a recurring dream where i find myself completely unprepared for the final exam of a really hard class. last night’s was the most vivid so far:

i walk into the auditorium, completely oblivious and expecting a normal lecture. next thing i know, they’re handing out exams, and i suddenly realize that it’s the final exam! i start to freak out, and calmly grab my bookbag and go to the bathroom where i can freak out some more in private.

i evaluate my first option: just take the test unprepared. ok, what class is it? Calculus V. hmm, what do i remember about it? funny, i can’t seem to remember a friggin thing about it…come to think of it, i don’t think i’ve been to a single class all quarter. ack! freak out some more. evaluate the impact of an F on my GPA.

i decide on option 2: ditch the exam, and beg the professor to take it another time. in the last part of the dream, i’m composing the wording of the email to my prof explaining the situation.

anyways, it’s really relieving to wake up and realize that not only am i no longer in school, but i don’t work and pretty much have zero responsibility in life right now. whew. it was all just a bad dream…
