last night i dreamt about graduating again

In the dream, the graduation was outside. It was sunny and warm, and a lot of people I loved were in the stands. My grandmas were both there, I might have kissed one on the cheek. I had a friend standing next to me. We were wearing caps and gowns and laughing a lot. And, also running sometimes. I think to catch up in the procession line. I kept saying to her: This is the best part. I said, You'll never forget it. This = walking across the stage waving to everyone.

I woke up so happy.

And, so the phd is haunting me again. In way it hasn't before. Dear people: I should be having nightmares about the phd, not lovely, sunny dreams about kissing my grandma's cheek at graduation!

Except, I love it when my grandparents make appearances in dreams.
