short of breath....

strange thing happened today, wouldn't expect it to happen, even more so with the hard work that I've put in. as usual, with most exams, I get trouble falling asleep the night before. But last night, it was quite a shock. Each time i closed my eyes, al I could feel was my heart racing, and no matter what I tried to think about or NOT think about, it wouldn't go away. What was worst, was that on 2 occasions, I actually felt short of breath and had to sit up in my bed to catch my breath before trying to go back to sleep again. I don't know how I got through today, must have been running on adrenaline or something.

I think i've been putting too much pressure on myself, pressure to be the best and pressure to not disappoint myself and it sort of backfired. Even more so, when I won a prize from the Faculty; I felt good at first, but then I felt I had to perform even better. it's only one more exam before the summer holidays start. Can't wait, this year has been too long.
