Hi Perna. Thanks for your input. I am a procrastinator also. Then, when the deadlines start coming close, my stress levels spike, naturally. Every semester, I vow that I will stick to a study schedule and prepare ahead of time, but, with assignments and my two sons needing academic help, I tend to let my won studies slide a little. Until it is too late and then I cram for the tests and papers.

Tomorrow morning, I fly to Newfoundland for my presentation on Tuesday. I feel overblown with fears right now even though I have seen other final papers and they are not difficult topics. My biggest challenge is like that of my youngest son....the ideas are in my head but I can't bring it all together smoothly. My written papers are always a mess and profs demand to see better connections between my points. I haven't been able to accomplish this. I think this is why I get anxiety over my papers.

Wish me luck. I return home on Thursday.
