Dream

[beandelphiki]

It's the first day of school. I'm lost, and not sure what the heck I'm doing, but I've managed to stuff down all anxiety in a way that I have perfected over the years. This unique skill allows me to avoid doing anything important until it is too late to do anything, anyway, and I'm screwed.

I end up going to the main gym for some reason, and staying there all morning. This part of the dream is fuzzy, but I'm aware that I'm missing my two morning classes.

At lunch I leave the gym and am struck with the sicking realization that I just skipped two classes on the first day of school. Terrified, I tell myself I will find my way to my afternoon math class, and not screw up any further. So I set out to find the class.

After several minutes of searching for a map, it becomes clear that the school building itself has set out to thwart me. Doors shift and change position, although that matters little because none of them even have signs. They are all locked. The halls are deserted, except for a pretty blond girl who occasionally strolls past and mocks me.

Finally I find a staircase that I am sure leads up to my classroom. But the first stair is ten feet off the ground.

Can anyone tell I'm nervous about college?

so *every year* in college, at the beginning and at the end of each semester, i would have a recurring dream that i had signed up for a spanish class and promptly forgotten about it. i want through all (save the forgotten) classes, doing well, until the end of the semester comes, and i get a notice that, because i never went to *any one class* of the forgotten spanish class (and it is of course too late to withdraw), i am getting a failing grade.

where are ya going to college anyway?

Just here in Calgary. MRC - Mount Royal College. Which I'm sure tells you a helluva lot.

To this day I have recurring dreams that I have a class that I forgot I signed up for and all of a sudden I realize that I'm going to have to take the final or it's going to give me an F and savage my GPA.
It's natural to be worried about new situations and a new life, heck I'm worried about going back to grad school and I've done this four times now. Just try to observe without judging, you'll get through this fine. My undergrad college epoch was the absolute best phase of my life thus far.

I actually have the same sort of recurring signing-up-for-class-and-forgetting about it dream. For me, it's also usually a class I'm really interested in, I just never manage to get around to it for some reason...

I never realized that kind of dream was so common.

Eh, that'd no doubt have me waking up in a cold sweat~! I've had dreams where I could'nt get to class on time, but because my legs would just move like jello all of a sudden or something. All I can say is try not to be too anxious about it, but that's like telling a cat not to *torture* a rodent he catches before it eats it ;)
