I need a Xanax
I have a dilemma. My orientation for college is Friday. It�s an all day event and it�s for entering freshman who�ve never been to college (read: eighteen year-olds). Throughout the day, there are a number of placement exams. The math test has me stressing. Do I study, refresh what I somewhat remember from my high school calculus, and get placed in a class that I have no clue what�s going on? Or, do I not prepare myself and get placed in a class that I can pretty much breeze through?I�m not worried that I�ll be placed in a remedial math course, I scored a 32 on the math section of the ACT (which I must say, I�m quite proud of considering it�s been 8 years). It�s in my DNA to want to do better; I�m compelled to study. Ok, so maybe my fear is that if I don�t study I�ll go blank and actually get placed in remedial geometry.
My instincts are conflicting. The logical part of my brain knows I should just answer what I actually know; I need a refresher course anyway. The irrational, obsessive compulsive part of my brain says, �Study you moron. You have to get all the questions right.�
I worry I worry too much.
