anxiety, me?

So I claim to be impossible to stress out lately... but I think work and graduation is slowly getting to me.
Very often lately I dream that my teeth are falling out... which is incredibly scary when good teeth are so important to you. They never ACTUALLY fall out- but they get really loose all at once and I try to hold them in with my lips. Maybe sometime when they fall out completely I will have a nervous breakdown in my sleep.
Last night for the first time I dreamt that my hair was falling out.
I have been told that both of these are signs of extreme stress or anxiety. I think my subconcious must be more aware of it than I am... but I am definitely starting to feel it.

I didn't even think that I generally slept enough at one time to have REM cycles. But I think that is all a myth. Sometimes I dream when I am half awake. Like the other day about a goldfish being chased by a baracuda. I am getting off subject here...

I wish I lived in Egypt where no one works until after they graduate. I tried to ask my manager to schedule me less. 35 hours/ week is too much when you are trying to finish school. I know that some people do it successfully- but they are probably more efficient at managing their time than I am. Her answer: how about after next weekend? Meaning: I scheduled the crap out of you next week too. Double, doubles and more doubles.

Sorry, I'm whining.

Back to burning the midnight oil.
I hate the library- but it is actually better late at night. Except for the guy next to me who won't stop snorting his phlegm. Seriously...

two of my roomies and I have all had dreams of teeth either being really really loose or falling out. I had one that was so real that the next day I was talking to my mom (a dental hygenist) and said "OH my God! I almost forgot, I HAVE to see a dentist! My teeth are...(as I feel my teeth with my tongue)...ok it was a dream"

she laughed about it but it was really scary.

and I was definitely very stressed out at the time.
