Echoes

[bunsen_h]

I checked my class schedule, and realized with a shock that there's a course that I've completely forgotten about all term -- I haven't been to any of the classes, read any of the material, done any of the essays/assignments/course-work.  It's some kind of history/sociology thing (I can't even remember the details), an arts elective I need to complete for my degree, and everything is now riding on the final exam, which is in just a couple of days.

I picked up one of the thick, heavy course texts, and realized that with my current sleep deprivation / cognitive impairment, I can barely follow the material, let alone cram an entire course worth of uninteresting material in a short time.

Then I woke up a bit more and remembered that I completed the damn Ph.D. something like 17 years ago, and the B.Sc. with the arts electives was finished 25 years ago.

There are times when I really dislike my subconscious, and I think the feeling is mutual.

I periodically have that dream too.

You have a PhD?

Computational organometallic chemistry, from Queen's -- I was modelling the energy barriers to internal motions in metal-based molecules. I started out with a couple of different bench-chemistry projects, but when neither of them gave particularly useful results after a couple of years, my supervisor advised me to switch over to a different project: enhancing a software package he'd recently bought, to let it handle the organometallic structures.

I dislike dreams like that. They make you feel so...surreal...for the rest of the day.

... I am familiar with that scenario. :\ It's not a good feeling. *hugs* if you want'em

I have that dream all the time - paired with not being able to focus on the print, and not being able to find the classroom even though I've been taking the course all term. Way to mess with your confidence in your self...

*hugs* you going to home over the weekend?

At least some of the time, yes. (No Pikeman's for me, alas.) There's an OSFS meeting on Sunday afternoon, but I'm not sure if I'll be up to going to it.
