Subconscious rumblings


So I had my first dream about my qualifying exams last night. It was bizarre. First I had a section with Emilio in front of one of his lectures. It covered pretty basic stuff like demonstrating how to hold a pencil. Emilio was impressed at how well I did. Then we realized we'd better go to the conference room where my orals were supposed to take place since probably my other committee members had been waiting there for 45 minutes now. Of course, then came the shock that I still had to pick up the projector and set it up and everything. So I ran down to the main office to pick it up and was told that I'd have to go to the 3rd floor office to get it. I decided to take the elevator up. Unfortunately, there was this strange bum in the elevator who kept pestering me. He really needed feedback about his shirt, or something like that. And kept following me and shouting at me to tell him my opinion and I kept telling him that I couldn't, that I was late for my qualifying exams and HAD to get the projector immediately. But apparently elevator bums don't really care about qualifying exams, especially those of other people. The other thing about when he was chasing me is that the hallways and ramps (there weren't stairs) were all lined with cushions. So it was a very bouncy chase.

And then I woke up. Thankfully, since it was a pretty anxious dream about my quals. Hopefully the real thing goes nothing like that! They're on Thursday, by the way...
