AAAAAAAARGH.

I was up all night from exam dreams and missed morning lectures as a result. It's a nice touch that even the sleeping part of the night made me tired.

The only part of the dreams I remember properly is having to do a Farm Animal themed viva. I arrived late, having only just realised that I even had a test, and shitting myself over the fact that I couldn't remember anything about pregnancy diagnosis since I hadn't studied for it.

I had to register for the test by signing up on a website (a Barbie fan site - apparently it was more efficient this way) and couldn't even find where to create an account on that, so ended up going from page to page getting more and more stressed about not being able to register, and worrying about what the examiners thought of me given how long they had already been waiting - this continued for a while, but at some point a staff member did it for me and I went through to the exam room. Everyone else to be examined had already gone through.

The examiners looked at me oddly, and I realised I should have been wearing my LAU overalls and wellies rather than my small animal gear (my SA gear in the dream was actually my full secondary school uniform). They still agreed to assess me.

The next bit was a series of questions on things my mind had blatantly made up, such as "how can you tell the difference between a floating and non-floating rumen disease?"

One asked me what kinds of feed can cause bloat in cattle - this in itself is a sensible question, but my mind had apparently decided that wheat and corn predisposed, and sorghum was the answer to every farmer's nutritional queries. The rest of the dream I don't really remember, but it was exhausting, not least because there were multiple points where I got worked up enough to wake up.

The outcome of all this is me currently feeling very nauseous and shaky and generally thinking hard about whether or not to stand up - my body often doesn't cope well with lack of sleep.
