So. Today, the goal was to spend a large chunk of the day studying for my cognitive psychology test, which was to occur the next day.
Result: I did study for the test today. Sort of. For some reason, the idea of taking the test the next day gave me a HUGE feeling of anxiety. I had just taken a test this morning, so I wasn't able to study for the cognitive psychology test prior to today. But for some reason, the huge anxiety I was feeling about this test prevented me from studying very much. I don't know how to explain it, other than feeling like there was SO much that I needed to study that there was no way that I could do it. When I feel overwhelmed, I basically shut down and cannot accomplish anything until the feeling goes away.
Long story short, I was able to focus enough and study enough, both today and the next day, that I was prepared for the test. And I got an A on it :-)
I really need to learn how not to freak out so much over tests.
