Cate Blanchett is an Unforgiving Teacher

Last night I had a dream that I was back in college/high school. (The environment was high school, but the structure of the class was college.) I had come to class and was getting my books and notebook out in preparation for lecture when I notice that everyone is doing the opposite - hurriedly looking over their notes and putting everything away. Just as I was about to ask someone what was going on, the teacher/professor, Cate Blanchett, speaks up from beside me and says that it is the mid-term exam. She's holding a stack of stapled packets of paper. Surprised, I ask when we were told about this and the teacher responds that it is not only on the syllabus, but that last class (which, apparently I hadn't been in) was all review. In my mind, I knew she was right and that I hadn't even read any of the material, much less reviewed it, but out loud I said, "No big deal. This'll be a breeze even without studying." Blanchett gave me a glare and then sneered, "We'll just see about that."

That's about it. I don't remember if the dream ended there or what, but that is good enough. I hate dreams where I'm back in school (of any level) and am caught with having to take a test that I didn't study for... When will I graduate from dream high school, I wonder?

P.S. I woke up this morning and I couldn't think of Cate Blanchett's name, but I remembered that she played Galadriel in LotR. I had to look up her name in IMDB. I've never read the books and have only seen the movie once. How I knew Galadriel before I knew her name is a complete mystery.
