holy COW i have stupid dreams when i'm stressed....

chalk this up to being the dumbest nightmare i've ever had:

my ph.d. thesis defense is in 2 days, and this weekend i am doing everything i possibly can to forget about it until monday (i.e. i've already written the defense talk, and it's better if i don't obsess about it), however i can't stop my head from overthinking it while i'm asleep.

last night i dreamed that i was giving my thesis defense, and the audience was full of american idol contestants (which should already be a tip off that it's a stupid dream, but whatever...)... they asked so many weird questions that i only made it through 5 of the 23 slides i have to talk about that i failed. and i was really mad.

ridiculous, right? but it took waking up mad, and thinking through it for 5 minutes to put together all the absurdities and convince myself it wasn't real.

i really need to get done with monday night before i go crazy..... just 2 more days!
