Exam Anxiety

I ended up deciding not to take the test this afternoon, but the one in April. It's a fraught decision because:

On the one hand, less stress today, less disappointment about an almost invariably poor grade, more time to study for tomorrow afternoon (the test I care more about).

On the other hand, the April date coincides with the second chance test for microbiology, which is Sunday. I won't have enough time to study, and if I blow it, I'll end up with a mediocre grade even though I know and like the material, and probably for the most annoying reasons (test shenanigans).

On the third hand, the micro test is multiple choice, and animal behavior is open (and obnoxious) questions.

On the fourth hand, eventually I went home and took a great nap, and now I'm energetic and will probably study until late. I like this material much better so it exhausts me less to cover it for hours. Also my notes are in reasonable order and fairly informative.

If I score badly on this test I'm going to feel like shit. Fair warning.
