Obnoxious Dream

I had a dream last night that I got accepted to CSU. I was so excited. I got interview offers at others school, but turned them down. And then I woke up. GRR!! I really wish that dream had been real. I was so excited and really happy. I wonder how many more dreams I will have like this. It is completely nerve-wracking. Anyone else have any good dreams about being accepted or rejected or forgetting to write a P.S. or anything like that?

When I was in the application process, I had a dream that I showed up at vet school the first day (it might have been a specific school, but I don't remember) and was told that I wasn't accepted. In the dream, I was so confused, because I thought I remembered getting a letter. Then the professor took a hard copy of my app, drew a big red "X" on it, ripped it to shreds, and threw the pieces in my face. I literally woke up crying.

Yeah, it was intense. 🙄

A few years ago, I had a dream that I won the lottery and was going to vet school.

Now that's the kind of dream that makes waking up SUCK. 😀

I don't ever remember my dreams, and this thread makes me glad for that. Lol.

I once dreamt that I'd gotten my acceptance phone call and I was absolutely elated. Then I woke up, realized it was a dream and proceeded to become really depressed because I thought that was the closest I would get to getting in. 5 hours later I received the real phone call with the real acceptance and worried I was still dreaming! 😛 Still ended up being one of the best days of my life.

what an emotional roller coaster! but how great is it that you received the actual call just hours later??? 🙂

You're psychic!! 😱 😀

That is pretty awesome!

Unfortunately I dream every night, so when it comes to applying next year I will be having nightmares every night of the week! 🙁

I would have been pinching myself the entire day trying to determine if I had still been dreaming or not. That had to be really exciting.

Or psychotic, like the rest of us!

As to the OP, yes dreaming of getting into CSU is a pipe dream to the max, but I hope you get it! 😀
Kai,
who has a BS and MS from CSU, was good enough to t/a the vet anatomy class at CSU as a lowly grad student, yet is attending MN for vet school. 😡

And TSUJC is going to CSU even though she TA'd the parasit class for TAMU! It happens, and it seems so arbitrary sometimes. But, you got in at UMN, it's a GREAT school, so try not to whine about it any more, okay? It's not worth the chip on your shoulder. I promise. 🙂

Hey now, what is this; pick on Kai hour?

I know about TSUJC, we talked about CSU when she got her offer, and I had a couple other SDN'ers stay with me when they were checking out CSU. I am jealous, but most happy to have gotten the offers I did. We all are grateful for ANY acceptance when it come to vet school. It is just that once you have lived in Colorado, much less Fort Collins, it is hard to accept any other place. Even the beer is better there. Think New Belgium/Fat Tire -- they are a bike ride away from campus and give out free beer, as do several other microbreweries. Saint Paul is simply not Colorado. Waa I know -- at least I had a few choices of places to go.🙄

 

[TSUJC]

I have crazy dreams like that ALL the time!! It is very normal. Before I stated school I dreamt that I didn't know what the first week's assignments were and none of my classmates would tell me!!!

On a side note: I think getting rejected from TAMU was actually the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Originally I was bitter BUT if it wasn't for the experience that I gained at TAMU I probably wouldn't have gotten into CSU (which I am very grateful for). EVERYTHING happens for a reason, Kai you will figure out what that reason is soon enough. I am SURE that there is very good reason that you are in MN, it may not be obvious now but it will come. You are a great guy and MN is lucky to have you.

I am kind of hoping that WICHE status will help me get into CSU or even one of the other schools that is a part of WICHE. So, maybe my crazy dream will (crossing fingers) come true. 😛

At the beginning of the summer I dreamed (drempt?) that I asked the vet I've worked for for six years for a LOR and she told me that she'd write it, but it wasn't going to be any good because she didn't think I could ever be a good vet and then she handed me a list of everything I'd ever screwed up on the job. I thought it had really happened for a good five minutes after I woke up and lay in bed crying. Even when I realized it was a dream, I'm pretty sure I acted really weird around her for the next week.
She ended up writing me a fabulous LOR 😀

 

[twelvetigers]

You wanna know something scary? I think my vet might actually keep a list like that...

 

[buckeye4runner]

Mine too. Sheesh. Note to self: when you become a DVM try not to be so anal retentive. It scares people. 🙄
