I have recurring dreams about forgetting to bring my PE t-shirt to school on a day when I have PE class. And I spend the dream panicking about how to get out of trouble.
I also used to have recurring dreams about forgetting to study for Geography exams. Why Geography? It is a mystery. I mentioned it to my secondary school Geography teacher when we had dinner a few years back, and she said ‘But why? You were always quite good at Geog wat’. Which is true. I was quite good at Geog.
Anyway, this is not an entry about how I was good at Geog. It is an entry about how terrible it is that when we were kids they got us all stressed out about stupid little things like remembering your PE t-shirt, and textbooks, and consent forms for the field trip to the Bird Park. I know inculcating a sense of responsibility is good, but why make small children feel like every tiny oversight will lead to certain disaster?
Clearly I have been scarred for life.

maybe it’s to prepare us for the larger, but still insignificant issues in life that would otherwise explode our brains. like forgetting the cover of a tps report or something.
