What a nightmare!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

I dreamed that I was taking the bar exam and tennis player David Nalbandian and a woman came in, sat at the table in front of me and talked at the top of their lungs. This didn't seem to bother anyone else, but it completely fried my concentration. I went up to the proctor (who turned out to be one of the registrars from law school, who would not be proctoring a bar exam in Texas as she lives in Pittsburgh, PA). She seemed surprised that it was bothering me, as no one else had complained, but she drove Nalbandian and the woman from the room.

I returned to my seat, only to find that I had inadvertently brought my cell phone into the room (a no-no) and had neglected to put it on vibrate or silent. Someone kept calling me and leaving voice mails, and I sat on the phone to try to muffle the ringtone and the voice mail beep. Then, for some reason, my cat Simba was there. As for the exam itself, I recognized none of the questions; they were actually based on movies I have not seen, so I was completely guessing.

The nightmare ended when I discovered that I had been given the wrong test book (they're very particular about doing the right questions in the right book) and had filled out the bubbles based on the wrong questions, plus the test suddenly changed and became a short answer quiz on what types of foods would be appropriate to purchase in the snack bar and take upstairs to study. Everyone was turning in their books and leaving, while I was dealing with hiding the cell phone, hiding Simba and facing the fact that I had the wrong test book.

I can understand where all of this came from. I'm currently studying for the July Texas bar exam. I've been watching highlights of the French Open at night, so that's where Nalbandian came from. I've been studying at the UT Southwestern Medical School library, where I purchase snacks (when I don't bring them from home) downstairs to eat upstairs. It all makes perfect sense, but it was still awful! :hide:
