Over the weekend I had a series of strange dreams all surrounding school. I used to have this reoccurring dream about college where I had signed up for a class and then either never went or went and then forgot to go back. The dream always ends when I've realized I still had this class hanging out there somewhere and I can't do anything to rectify it...drop the class, make anything up, etc. Nothing ever gets resolved.
This time I'm in school and I have papers to write. None of the papers were for my major which was Journalism. They were all for history or geography or something else I'm really not good at.
The first dream was about a paper I had known about, but hadn't yet written. It occurred to me that during a time that I had taken sick the paper had been due. I had been sick for two classes (one week of class) and then hadn't gone to the following two classes. This meant I hadn't been to class in two weeks and the paper had been due two weeks ago. I scrambled trying to think if I could just turn it in late. I asked my grandmother for advice and she said that writing it probably wouldn't do any good now. She asked how I was going to turn it in. I told her I was going to just go to the department office and have them put it in his box. She didn't think that would be a good idea. But I was so embarrassed. That's where it ended.
The next dream was about two papers I had due. One was in some kind of history class, but I'm not sure what area. We were dealing with some kind of historical reports or something. I had two papers due the following day and I had just realized this. I started to figure out how I was going to deal with this. Every time I sat down to try and write the first paper, I realized I still had another to write. I finally realized I was just going to have to sit down and get to work. I knew I could write them both in one day if I put my mind to it, but getting it done was the hard part. Just couldn't get the motivation.
I think there was one other one about papers, but I can't remember.
Also had a dream that I was riding my bike to work, but my legs were too stiff to move the peddles. Strange.
This is one reason I'm not too excited to go back to college and get my masters!
