((((((((((dear friend)))))))))
Your message almost made me cry

.....

You are just the nicest person/friend.
I am going ok in this class... though this exam will certainly determine the outcome! I can't afford to do bad in this (or any of my classes) because I want to go to grad school etc etc... so I know I am just putting more pressure on myself.
No academic considerations.... I could have gotten them for medical reasons, but there would be no use really. I hope to be able to sleep tonight... so fingers crossed!
Thanks again..
