Dream a lil dream

Was startle into a 'deeper' sense of consciousness when in my dream, i suddenly remember that i have to prepare for my history exams. History? Good lord, i haven't studied history since i was sec. 2! Still, whoever said that dreams had to make sense? Anyway, i was flipping pages and pages of thick history textbooks and making notes with my highlighter when i mentally evaluated my 'progress' on history and other various subjects which i then remembered the exams were due in 2 weeks time.

It was a panicky sort of feeling but i think overall i felt in control because i though i was adequately prepared (i.e. i don't think i will fail) for the subjects. That is until i realized that i have done nothing for my maths paper. (Maths? What the heck was i doing maths for?) Then it was a mad scrambling for old textbooks, notes, lecture notes, exercises, piles of assessment books and model answers. On first glance i already knew i have no freaking idea how to do cosine of anything to anything or remember what's the formula for a triangle (is it a2 + b2 = sqrtC. Argh! I was freaking out but not quite knocked-out yet. From the top of my head, i was wondering if i could get tuition at the last minute from the teacher or friend and even planning which topics i ought to concentrate on (draw graphs on planes or something like that and NO trigonometry!).

So i would say i am still pretty in control (hmmm keyword?) though hopping on one foot when the better part of me (left brain probably, or right, or hind or whatever) stopped to ask...

"So what exactly is the paper i am cramming for. Was it C Maths, O-levels? Waitaminute... I finished my O-levels! And my As (okie, so i didn't do that well, but goddamnit, i completed that blasted C maths paper!). University? What the heck! I didn't even do maths in uni. And this ain't no psych stats paper either."

The more the thoughts rambled on, the more excited i became...

"Hang on... i finished my As, my university. I got my bachelor's degree. GEEZ! I even got my Masters already! (EUREKA!!!! - you could literally hear my brain blew a fuse just then) I DON"T NEED TO PREPARE FOR NO MATHS PAPER!!!!!! WOOHOOOOOOO!"

Well, that was probably when i realized i MUST be dreaming and need to wake up.
Besides, i think my phone just rang... *heh*
