reesetee Yikes! Sounds like my recurring academic mayhem dream. Mar 5, 2007
uselessness Last night I had a nightmare that I was back in high school, having just returned from spring break with a mysterious case of amnesia. I was freaking out because I had no idea what classes I was supposed to be in, or where they were located on a campus that had rearranged itself over the break. Like a cheesy adventure game, I began with only the books in my backpack to indicate where I was supposed to be, with no friends, and the deadline to be in my seat by the ring of the bell. A truly horrible dream. Mar 4, 2007
