My only nightmares anymore are school-related. And not the cliche “I’m in lecture and somehow not wearing clothes how embarrassing!” nightmares. No, mine are far more evil.

This morning I woke up thinking it was Tuesday, and that I hadn’t written the paper due at 1400 (which I’m working on today). In the dream I hadn’t written the paper, but I woke up still thinking it. That’s a horrible feeling. It’s happened to me before, too. I remember waking up thinking I hadn’t studied for my history exam that day. After about a half an hour of ruffling through my crap thinking I had lost my book, I realized that not only was there no exam that day, but I wasn’t even enrolled in a history class.

I’ve got to figure out some way of devaluing school while not failing out.

I can’t remember having a normal irrational-fear-with-weird-things-after-me nightmare since high school. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not.
