This week and next are two of the most stressful weeks of this semester (apart from finals week, of course). Although we're a little more thank halfway through this semester, I'm taking a really important midterm tomorrow and I have a psych test next week. I always get really anxious about taking tests because I never feel as though as I am prepared enough, even though I spend days preparing for them. I just have to learn to let things go, because even as badly as I think I'll do, I usually never end up getting less than a B. Sometimes it's just really hard for me to let things go, but I'm trying to be more optimistic about schoolwork

This semester, I've been much less stressed than normal. My eczema, which would have normally flared up by now, has not inflamed my hands, causing painful cuts. This semester, however, I find myself to be coping with my workload better than normal. Before, I would always be upset by getting anything lower than an A or A-, but this semester, I've been trying to put things in perspective. Even if I get a lower grade than I would like, I am still doing well in all of my classes. I am trying to live in the moment more and trying to enjoy my last year of college.
