Getting More And More Scared

[Guest guest]

On Wednesday/Thursday I have the second part of my final exam and I'm

getting more and more and MORE scared about it. I planned on studying

until the last day but I noticed yesterday that I feel rather burnt out

and today I can feel my geart rate raising when only looking at my

books. So instead of the last three days studying I guess I'm going to

spend them scared without really doing anything productive (like

yesterday).

My food and alcohol intake has increased and I feel horribly scared. My

exam partner is scared, too. We're trying to convinces ourseves that

we're worrying too much and that they won't let us fail, but it doesn't

work.

There will always be stuff we won't know.

I'm scared of doing the simplest things wrong, of not being able to

answer the most easiest questions, that I won't know enough to pass.

My husband says that I will make it and (more important if you ask me)

my exam partner also thinks I will (while I am scared to death). I think

I will pass because no one is interested in letting us fail (or so we

think and the students last semester didn't seem to be the best they

ever had), but of course all of this doesn't help much.

Sometimes I think a " more positive attitude " could do some good, but

then I think " don't be too confident about it " .

I'm even more scared about this part of the exam than I was about the

first part. I thought this wouldn't be THAT scary, but it is (though I

still think that the first part is the harder one). I just pushed it

away until the first part of the exam was over so it wouldn't be too

overwhelming.

ok, the whining is over for now. Maybe I will get calm enough to look at

some x-rays later.
