It's history exam tomorrow and I have only just started studying a night before.
Don't worry I tell myself, I'll study the tedious notes I've made which are precise, concise and efficient but there's an entire syllabus to be done and I've no time, moreover, the notes in question aren't just a couple pages but a couple hundred and the subjects as varied as socio-economic structure of ancient Indus civilization to phallus worship and its impact on agricultural norms (?) whatever on earth that is and I screen the fat copy inked with paragraphs and flowcharts and that's when I realize what a huge mistake I've made.
How silly of me to start studying something so vast just a day before and now my knees turn weak as I sweat bullets because it's night, the exam is tomorrow morning and I'm already sleepy.
What d I do now, what? I'm disappointed, afraid and that's when the convulsions begin which wake me right up and out of the bed I leap, grappling for my phone in the dark to check the time and start studying so I know at least to write one correct sentence but wait!
What am I doing? Slowly the room begins to creep out of shadows.
The birds are only beginning to chirp. It's still dark out and I mop my brow that is sweating.
There's no exam. Of course, there isn't. I am panting.
In fact, there's no more exam, ever. I exhale relieved.
I'm not even in school. A smile lights up my face.
That was just a very real dream. I laugh and go back to sleep.
