I took ballet classes when I was twelve. It was my first experience with ballet dancing, and I was a horrible dancer. Even so, I attended every class and performed in the year-end recital. Needless to say, I didn't return the following year. Anyway, I've had a couple of dreams that I'm back in ballet class. These dreams always seem to involve a long complicated dance routine that my class and I are performing in front of a large audience. I am the only dancer that is messing up. I trip over my feet, wobble, and fall on my ass time after time, but no one seems to notice. I can hardly remember a single step of the routine, so I'm just copying the others. I feel so embarassed and humiliated, but I keep on dancing. I know I have to finish the routine for the recital.

Dancing classes -- that brings back memories. I think it's safe to say that you can just substitute honors exam for dance steps, and just having to know the 'steps' for the 'recital'. You're not alone. My tutu is still at the cleaners!

I agree with Sonomas. I have noticed our dreams are very strange as we head to the last stretch before the honors exam. Relax, good luck, and remember that although the dance routine may be complicated, you have the skills to work WITH all the steps you'll be given.
