We all know that I am really overwhelmed with the thought of taking Chemistry, b/c my mind doesn't work in numbers people...it works in homemaking skills!
We also all know that I am telling myself "you are capable" every min of everyday, so that I might invoke the powers of heavens goodness onto my numberless brain.
OK, so now that we all know what is going on...I can now tell you about tomorrow.
Tomorrow is my FIRST test in my chemistry class. I have done the home work everyday, A DAY BEFORE the class. So that means that I do the homework before the teacher teaches it. That way I can be prepared to learn, and ask questions. I read EVERY page of my book. Yes, I read my CHEMISTRY book. I ask questions, I go and visit my Professor. I studied for 4 hours tonight. I studies 2 hours the night before. I read my book before going to sleep last night. I visited my professor again today.
You would think between all of that and telling myself "you are capable" I wouldn't be so dang stressed about tomorrow!
I am beyond stressed. I am so nervous. I am afraid I will over prepare, or WORSE under.
I get caught up in starting problems, or get stuck in the middle. Usually my hot, smart, freaking awesome husband can pull me though...BUT, Spencer won't be there tomorrow. (BTW, Spencer is so smart, I didn't know he was so smart till he started helping me with my Chem homework...now I know...and believe me...it is HOTT)!
I am so worried that I will forget something. There is a lot to remember...and lets all be honest...I forget things really easy.
BUT I am praying really hard, and I know that with the lords help I will do good. I am just going to keep telling myself that. PLUS, I have been really extra nice to people this week...I haven't even been thinking bad things about people. So hopefully that will count for something...
BUt, this is a picture of my hands. I have bitten off all of my nails, and THE SKIN around them. Yes, they are bleeding. I am so stressed. All I can do is read the book, and bite my nails.
Biting your nails is the grossest habit. It is terrible...but I have been blessed with this habit. Since I was a young girl. Anytime I am stressed, bored, or nervous I bite. But it is the worst when I am stressed or nervous.
So my main questions is should I fast tomorrow? Spencer says no, I need a healthy breakfast, and lunch to do good? But I think I should fast? What should I do?

eat! Your brain will have the nourishment it needs. I bite too. I know how you feel. Jami you sound so prepared I know you are going to do great on your test. You go girl. Ill keep you in my prayers.
Jami, I was once where you are now:) You're in a tough major, but it's worth it. I remember being so so nervous for exams. Every once in a while, I would ask Jason for a blessing, just to help me remember everything that I had studied. I am a firm believer that as long as you do your best to prepare for an exam, you can ask the Lord for help and he will carry you through it. This is because you put yourself in the position to deserve to pass. So eat a healthy breakfast, get enough sleep, and go to class early to give yourself time to get comfortable and set up for your test. Good luck girl, this was my strategy and I hope it works for you.
brains don't work without glucose. Please never take an exam without eating. It sounds like you are working hard to do well in class. I'd bet after this test you'll feel better b/c you'll know what to expect and how to prepare. don't sell yourself short. Smart people like smart friends and you have smart friends.
I'm just like you.... I have been biting my nails since i can remember. Good luck! you can do it!!
I think you should eat, Jami. If you do well, fast afterwards for thanks, or something. Eat.
Good luck! YOU ARE CAPABLE!
I agree with everyone else. EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST! If you by some chance end up not doing as well as you hoped just talk to the professor right away to figure out some different study strategies. The professor knows how he pulls the questions. I agree with Whitney though... you sound very prepared. Camille's idea was good too, to fast for thanks afterward!
I just want to say how impressed I am with all that you're doing. It can't be easy going to school and being a mom and wife and all that! You're going to be so happy when it's all over and done with and so darn proud of yourself! Caleb bites his fingers like that when he's stressed out-- so you can only imagine what his fingers have looked like for the past 5 years. Only a couple more months till graduation!
