lingering exam stress hello?

Yesterday I realised that the very next day, I had both an 8:30am linguistics exam and a 9am korean exam.

Uh oh-

My korean coordinator had told us that we might have clashes, as the korean exams aren’t really ‘exams’, they’re just online and 45 minutes long, and they’re not synced with the rest of the official uni exam calendar. He’d made it really clear that if we got a clash, we should just let him know asap and he’d reschedule it. 

But I’d completely forgotten to email him. Would he still check his emails at 6 in the afternoon??

Boy was I stressed.

Then I woke up and realised it was a dream. 

Both exams are already over. I’d done both of them weeks ago. (I’d never even had a clash in the first place.)

Thank god.

I fell asleep again, immensely relieved, but would you believe it I just went straight back to the same dream. And my dream timeline had fast-forwarded a day. So now it was the morning of the exam(s) and lo and behold I still hadn’t emailed my coordinator. I thought furiously, Betty how did you forget again?! Now what am I supposed to do??

Then I found myself sitting in front of a linguistics exam paper full of questions I just barely couldn’t remember how to answer. Because apparently dream me did know that the exam was weeks ago, and dream me was now stressing about not having revised the content for weeks. So dream me didn’t know how to do her exam. And was stressing hard. Smh.

Also the exam room looked like one of my classrooms from primary school. All the furniture was tiny, the chairs had colourful chair bags on their backs, and everything was bright and colourful.

Also there was a zombie apocalypse happening somewhere. I was running and hiding. idk.
