Many things stress me out, but nothing like school and exams! I have a tendency to push myself really hard in school. I have always done really well, but I have always had to work really hard to achieve my grades. My freshman, sophomore and junior years at the UM I basically lived in the library. It seemed I usually had an exam in something every week.... it was terrible.... and of course I HAD to do awesome in every class, on every test, every project.... everything! I would stress myself out all the time..... major burn out! Presentations were the worst! And it seemed like every class had a big final presentation..... public speaking makes me want to puke.. let's just put it that way! I get shaky, my voice starts to stutter, I forget everything I was going to say.... it's basically the worst thing... and I would stress out over the presentations from day 1 of the class... that's right syllabus day I would look through the plans and... yep there's a presentation great....... hate this class!
I'm kind of a perfectionist.. this combined with my determination and dedication would seem like good things when it comes to school... and it is... except it dooms me to stressing out. But it's just because I care and think good grades are important. But like most things its about finding a balance.... that I have yet to find!
