My dream!

[Birdhead]

In the last dream I had that I can remember, I got Achieved in every single one of my exam papers, including all my favourite subjects.

>.< I sound like Hermione's boggart. But... ugh. I really, really, really didn't like it AT ALL. Achieved is, like, 50%. >.< *cries*

[Agent M]

Poor Tui. *huggles*

*gasp* That reminds me... today is the test.... MATH FINALS AREN'T NICE!!!!

[Rysade]

Ever had a one-liner type dream? For example, I once had a dream that My paycheck was for $800. That was the whole dream.

Woah, What happened to Karma!? Suddenly I'm a Senior Member!

[Aurora]

Tui-chan?

I'm going to tell you what Alastair told me once. Only he said it much more powerfully...

...how would you feel if you had a 0 in everything? 50? 70? 80? Just enough to get into university.

When you're out of high school, you're going to be at a zero in university. And you'll work hard and eventually break even at 50, and work your way up to 70. And then you'll be out of university with a piece of paper and plug in your resume in a couple likely looking places, and then there you are. Your life's going to be a 70 anyway- it's nice to be at a 90, but it too much work and stress, neh?

...only he said it much better.... of course, that's only because he said it to ME and that was more like... a caring thing. every word he wrote said he cared (even when the word was 'the'). The way he writes influences a whole idea. When I read it, I can imagine, almost hear him speaking softly to me... *big teary eyes* he's so kind.

[Birdhead]

*rolls eyes at Aurie* Yeah, see, I know that. I am fully cognisant of the fact that I have all the grades I need to get into varsity, even limited entry courses. That's not the point.

Nor is the point that I may fail at University, though I suspect this will not be the case: perhaps we mark more easily in New Zealand unis, but I've never heard that there is a large marks gap between college and uni. The point is, I had a nightmare and I didn't like it. Maybe it represents something I need to learn. Or maybe it just scared me. *shrugs* Anyway, a 70 life? Boring. My life is worth mroe than that, and has absolutely no correlation to my grades.

Yours, too.

[Aurora]

...I'd rather be happy.

if keeping my life at a 90 is going to exhaust me and stress me out and so on... I don't want it. I'll be happy with a 70 life. Then again..

Ever looked down somewhere and wanted to jump? And know you don't have to worry that last half-inch...?

...*sigh* Alastair's great. His opinions have a solid base and point. He told me that too.

Perfectionists suffer more physical, emotional, and relationship problems. I don't wanna be a perfectionist.

I need like 300 karma for VERY SENIOR MEMBER. That's my new goal!

[Agent M]

*sigh* Yet another bad math year.... I hate my grades!!! I know it's my fault... *bangs head against the wall* The best grade I have is a B+ All of you guys are so smart and I'm a big procrastinator (sp?)
And I think the "Very Senior Member", "Senior Member" etcs should be based on how long you've been on... but that's just me.

[Aurora]

B+ is still okay.

...I hate... going up and then coming down. My emotions are like that. I was up high for the last three or four days, and then tui sent me crashing down with her post.

no, it doesn't take much to make them go down.

...I shouldn't be talking. No one likes me talking.

One time, I got a b+ on my social studies assignment, when I sould have gotten an A. I told my teacher as calmly as I could that she had made a mistake, and she said she didn't. In second period, I was mad as heck and I couldn't take it anymore!! I started crying and my friends told me I was crying over something silly, then I started laughing, and I threw a laughing-crying fit!! I was really mad, and at the end of the day, I confronted my social studies teacher again, and THEN she said that she was wrong and that I was right!! I WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN SO MAD IF SHE WOULD HAVE ADMITTED HER MISTAKE EARLIER!! sorry, I'm shouting. I hate it when teachers can't admit that they are wrong and a student is right.

I'm too Hermione-like for my own good. WON'T SETTLE WITH A B+, have to throw a fit and show the teacher that I got that question right and I deserve an A!!

[Nancy Drew]

One time, my spanish teacher wrote that I had gotten an A-, but my homeroom teacher interpreted it as a B-. It got fixed though.
You know the most infuriating thing? When you're .25 away from the A honor roll level, but no, they refuse to round the numbers and you're stuck on B honor roll.

Sorry. Had to rant.

[Agent M]

*gasp* The horror! The B honor roll!!!

I had this really weird dream awhile ago. It wasn't scary, but it woke me up in the middle of the night. Ok, so, like, this is how the dream went: I was at this camp or something, and it was by the ocean. There was this big tower thingy by the water, it hat a huge bungee rope on it and people would go plumeting like 200 feet down, into the water. (that was weird) But then, my friend, Emily was there, and she had her dogs there with her. It started raining and there wa this huge hurricane, and a flood. One of Emily's dogs went out side and drowned,(that was sad). Then,(this is te REALLY weird part) for some odd reason, Eddie Murphy appeared, and he strapped himself onto the bungee cord the wrong way, and he slipped out and fell in the water, I think he died. Then, I fell off the tower(this is one of those times when you feel like your falling and you wake up when you land) and landed in the water.

Isn't that weird? I had that dream like a month ago. Last night, I dreamed that I was a banana.

[Birdhead]

*hugs Aurie* I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be mean... *re-reads post* Maybe I was a bit harsh. I really didn't mean to be... What I meant was, I don't worry about my marks for my marks, I worry because I think I can do better- thoguh I don't exactly work myself to the bone trying to make them so. *hugs more* Forgiveness?

re: moodiness: hee.... I'm eternally in "heh, okay" mode. I can't even hold a grudge longer than two hours... XD. It gets annoying though, because it means I dun get things done as fast... XD

...it's weird, but I never get nightmares. Ever. The closest thing I've ever had to a nightmare was when I was in first grade, and dreamt that I'd had a heart transplant...

...what do you call that phenomenon that's like the opposite of sleepwalking, when your senses are working, but you're still in dream-mode and can't move? People used to call it hag-sat? Something like 60% of the world's population expiriences it at least once in their lives? Oh, poot... tip-of-tounge-syndrome... (and speaking of which... what was the medical term for that one again? XD...)
