post-College dreams

Post by Foo »

FFS, anyone who went through college ever get the dream of having some kind of assignment or exam you couldn't finish, or missed, or was late for and not allowed to complete, and it nullified your whole course?

Ever since I tied up my last exam a week or so again, every night the same fucking dream or a variation on it...

have you called your college and made sure that everything is free and clear? E-mail the prof's and etc..

My grad was on the 6th ( yes, 6/6/-6 ) and i offically wasent on the roster untill 4:30PM when the thing started at 6Pm because one of my prof's misplaced my work and dident tell me.

i would get on that, asap.

It isn't a dream - I failed a non-compensatory re-sit, and as a result my progress to the next year has been blocked. I’ve taken four modules, passed 11/12 of all my assignments, but due to educational red tape stating that I didn't pass everything in every module there is nothing I can do.

Nope, can't say I ever had that dream going through college. I was worried about my accounting course I took cause I really didn't like accounting but I just cheated.

Kracus means "compu-college", where you basically pay them $2000 and you get a degree saying you know how to use a computer.

Its the classic dream that many masters and PhD folks get, where someone finds a problem in their dissertation at the last second and takes their signature back. Folks at my work have complained about such dreams periodically.

I called my university every week for about 7 weeks making sure I had everything in order to graduate. The dreams happened to me as well.
I think your mind just gets so used to the idea that there's always something that has a deadline approaching that you have to untrain that out of you.

You've devoted three years of your educational life to something that has sucked a lot of time and money from you - it is only natural that people get a little nervous at the final hurdle.

Well if you consider it generally I guess 7 or 18 years.

As of yet... no. But my course is the most stress-free thing ever, so its not surprising really.

Maybe it'll change when I have to write my dissertation in september though.

It's been a year since I graduated, and I get these dreams still during midterm and final weeks.
