Test test test test test test

I drove myself nuts last night studying with the vaguest and least useful study sheet ever, and so of course when I went to sleep my mind wouldn't let me rest either. First I had a dream somehow related to, um, fish? I think? And then going and taking a test and realizing I had no time to study in between and then packing a lunch or trying to tell a lunch person that I'm sorry, I don't want your lunch, I brought my own sandwich. But I will take the soup, thank you. Cheese on the soup? Okay. (You can tell I've been to Olive Garden recently.)
I literally JUMPED when my alarm clock went off this morning and briefly panicked because I couldn't remember - couldn't remember! - if my test was at 8 or 8:30. It was 8:30, as ALL MONDAYS ARE, in my regular classroom, which I knew full well, but still panicked about. I'm still wearing the shirt I slept in last night. I ran out the door with my water bottle, my sandwich and my caffeinated cocoa and got to my class in time to review thoroughly for my Biology test, which I'm really confident I got an A in, or at least a very high B. Of course I can't remember any of the questions I was shaky on, because the doors here have a magical ability to wipe my brain of any test questions as I walk through them to leave. I had time to run to my car and swap my thermos for my water bottle before going to my next test and studying first. That one was slightly more irritating. I'm not partial to American history. There's not much of it so it's really bogged down in minutae. There's less perspective than in world or European history. I like my history to have a bit of epic scope to it. I don't really care who was the Speaker of the House 150 years ago. I like the big stuff better.
Also the bonus questions were about football, UCF football, and I don't care about UCF football from thirty years ago.
I have no idea why these two tests freaked me out so much that I couldn't sleep, dreamed about them last night and sent me into jumpy, panicky mode this morning.
EDIT: Also, my view from the toilet now is very strangely empty since I cleaned off my bathroom counter.
