the world's a stage, and i'm in the audience

Right now I'm living on borrowed time (and borrowed money). This waiting game is frustrating. To make it worse, I decided to increase my time in limbo (aka school) by applying for a joint degree.

That's ok, at least I still have dreams.

Speaking of dreams...... Signs of finals week are creeping up everwhere. Three weeks ago was the first time this semester that a professor had brought up the word "final exam". I remember thinking "it is way to early to be bringing this subject up!" But now, exams are all we think and talk about!

Last night I had a dream that I was in the middle of a take home Contracts exam. I had four cases to examine and two hours to complete it. The cases were supposed to be from our Contracts casebook and I quickly found each one in the table of contents. But flipping through the book, they were either not there, kept changing pages, or the page number I was frantically searching for became suddenly elusive.

I raced against the clock, but the time I was given just kept bleeding away. I eventually had to turn in an incomplete exam. I couldn't stop kicking myself, I kept asking how I could be so unprepared as people around me exclained how easy the test was.

I woke up in a sweat at 5am with the strongest determination to crack open a book that I felt all year. But then I drifted back into uneasy sleep and woke up just in time to be five minutes late for class ;).
