The Old College Try

I dreamt that I was in school. I was doing very well in two of my classes, but I suddenly realized I had been blowing off my other two classes for the second half of the semester and was almost certainly failing them. Instead of panicking, I pulled out the syllabi for the two classes and began looking at past assignments I could make up, calmly planning on bringing my grades back up as best as I could.

I take that as a good sign, that what would normally be an anxiety dream was instead a dream about figuring out where I’d gone wrong and working methodically to fix it as best I could.
