[Magdalen] US Higher Education

[Lynn Ronkainen]

David
Strang>I have this recurrent dream, perhaps twice a year, about signing up
for an undergraduate college or even medical school course, and
for unknown reasons, never show up for the course.

Then comes the final exam for the course, and I begin to get
worried.  At this point I wake up.

This is so weird because I NEVER ever enrolled in a college course
of any kind and then failed to show up in the classroom.



I, OTOH, used to have a recurrent nightmare for about 10 years after 
graduating college that I would be one day late to drop the course and would 
have to face making up the work 1/2 way through the quarter.  Woke up in a 
cold sweat, sometimes!
