Hahaha... It looks like I'm not the first in this thread to echo this sentiment and I probably won't be the last. Tomorrow is the 13th anniversary of my college graduation, BSME... It's been 8.5 since I finished an MBA and I STILL have a recurring nightmare that I wait until the bitter end of the semester to show up for class and when I do, it happens to be the day of the exam.

Fortunately, I wake up after that.

Congrats Rattlesnak

Congratulations, Rattlesnak!

Those nightmares don't go away! I still get them and I was done with school in 1982 and still get them once in awhile. But now maybe only once a year. I guess the stress never goes away.

LOL I remember one real bad episode- in a dream feeling like I was left behind in class, like I missed 2 or 3 lectures, and debating on whether or not I was gonna pass or fail, and an action plan to get caught up-

While I was out cold....I woke up and had to tell myself several times I already graduated, and whatever class I was behind in didn't exist, school was over.

Congrats!

I did it 10 years ago, and the degree and the experience of accomplishing it has done much for me.

And I'm wishing it does the same for you!

Wow, my hat's off to you. Job well done!

Congratulations! That is quite an accomplishment.
I'll bet you sleep better now. For a couple of years after I graduated I continued to have nightmares that I had one more course to complete before I got my sign-off. Woke up in a cold sweat more than once.

Now I just have dreams where I am late to a meeting that could advert Thermonuclear war...

Hugh R · 12-14-2014, 10:36 AM

Good for you. Like Randy, I sometimes think I'm back in college and behind, or back in the USMC. Almost 40 years later.

Hey Marc - that is great! Now ask for a big raise so you can pay even MORE taxes!

widgeon13 · 12-14-2014, 02:31 PM
