These Things That Are My Dreams

Last night I dreamt that I was taking an exam.  Except it was in Colombia or something.  (No, not the Columbia from PTs... like, Colombia-Colombia... you know, coffee, coke, etc.  That one.)

My friend Misch was in the dream.  She was wearing something like this:  http://lh5.ggpht.com/_t8-Y4w1UKrc/SYeOncnIQfI/AAAAAAAATIU/q-4P4TUm3wU/image_thumb921.png, and also some green tweed pants and round, John Lennon-esque glasses.  So we were in a classroom, and I had finished this giant 5-gallon bottle of Sparklett's water, and was putting some Airborne in what was left at the bottom to take with me.  Then we went to the moat that everyone had to swim across to get to the test center.  Luckily there were no alligators or crocodiles or anything like that... it was just muddy, and there was a little bit of a traffic jam as we approached the test center.  But yeah, we got in.

Then I get my scantron, and someone had already written in my name, but had bubbled it in with, like, two or three letters under each letter in my name.  So as I was shaking my head and saying, "ha, proctors..." to myself and erasing the marks, I noticed that there was a section where you had to write in your family physician's ID number.  So I raised my hand and told my proctor that I really don't remember my family physician's ID number, and he told me it's ok, just put in when your last physical was and that you don't remember.  So I went to this one box and just wrote in, "Cannot recall--will provide at a later point in time," and then I realized that it was the wrong section.  I think I accidentally wrote it in a box where I had to sign my name.  So then I thought, "shit!" and went to erase it, but I saw that the box was actually made of fabric, so I couldn't fully erase what I wrote.

Next, it suddenly occurred to me that I had left my nearly empty Sparklett's bottle with the Airborne in it in the classroom.  Across the moat.  So yeah, I had to swim back across to go get it, and when I got back, they'd started the test, and I still wasn't done bubbling the extra info (wtf is my LSAC number again?! shit!!), and I remembered that the instructions had said "you will not be provided extra time to do this at the completion of your exam," and it was all just a clusterfuck of mass proportions.

Fin.

  2. I actually had another totally different dream that night that I don't remember anything about other than that it was a really good story. I only remember about 20% of my dreams, but when I do, I remember every ridiculous detail.
