For at least the past two mornings, I've had dreams about being in an English class as a student, and taking a strange series of tests that measure vocabulary, grammar and usage. Parts of them I find fun and easy, but in general I'm disappointed with my take on my performance. Today, the instructor (who sometimes looked like my father, to whom I never talk) and another student were talking about aspects of the test, and I joined in, saying the vocab/usage was the only part I felt good about. The instructor looked at me strangely and said, 'You know you're the only one passing these tests, right?' I was incredulous, then embarassed, and said something about only coasting by on the merits of vocabulary. The other student might or might not have started to look at me like the "curve breaker"; I don't exactly remember.
