I am taking the bar exam in July. Big deal, yes, but I am not the sort who stresses and freaks out about tests. I know what I know, I study, I get good night's sleep, and things work out. But apparently my subconscious has other ideas this time around. This weekend, I had thinly veiled spazzy dreams about the bar exam.
1) On Friday night I dreamed that I was charged with 1st Degree Assault. I have no idea who I had assaulted, or why. I didn't seem to care about the possibility of jail time or hefty fines. In negotiating with the prosecutor and requesting that the charges be dropped to disorderly conduct, I just kept saying "But you don't understand! I have a continuing duty to update my application with the Minnesota Board of Law Examiners and I can't have an assault on my record to report!"
2) On Saturday night, I dreamed that I was enrolled in a bar review-style course, but it wasn't to review for the bar exam. It was to review for my high school IB courses. Everyone from high school was there at ages 25 and 26 to take tests on material we haven't studied for at least 7 years. In the English review, I had to work with a classmate who I never thought to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. We were to give a presentation on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. This girl's idea of a good review presentation was to read aloud to the class from Canterbury Tales in a middle English accent. I was irate by this idea, and screamed at her "Are you an idiot? Don't you get that people actually need to pass this test if they want to get anywhere in life?"
It's going to be a long 4 months...
