Hey =D. I'm very glad I could ease some of your stress even if it's just for a little while, and at the same time I feel extremely bad for taking your time away in such a difficult time for you x(, I really hope you don't get kicked out *wishes to a star xD*.
You are right about the part of being studious ^^; but I have a serious case of test-phobia... Most of the time I get really nervious when I'm sitting there, with pencil ready to attack. Air conditioner hiting me on the side, my feet fiddling and sweating (sorry if its disgusting) .. ugh theres been so many times when that happened and I leave the exam half blank -x -. When I do relaxations excercises and prepare myself studying hard I can do fairly well and theres my advice's cue.
I will be giving the tips that I use to release the stress before an exam. That works just as well whenever you can't concentrate or when you feel the pressure its too much ^^, feel free to use it or not as you please, I hope it works for you as it does for me =):
*Tests provide a goal: we learn what we’re tested on. Tests tell us what we ought to know.
*Talk with someone about your feelings– anger, sorrow, and other emotions. I apply this by talking to the wall (please don't thing I'm weird xs) or to my dog because either I don't want someone to hear meout or theres no on to talk to, and it works out just as well so try it out ^^.
*First words for success: I. can. do. it. As simple as that ^^, it may sound silly but telling yourself that ,in your thoughts or out loud, is like breaking a huge brick wall to a forest. It really helps with concentration. Plus, it lifts off a lot of weight you are carrying over your shoulders.
*Take a walk, stay air-clean. Clearing your mind is very important, it releases stress and it helps you advance faster whenever you need to finish something. Even if it seems like walking is the least thing you need because what you need is time to study, it really speeds the process, and clean air and wide spaces help you relax a lot.
*Take a bath =). Cleansing your body is a psicological way of renovating yourself.
*Study cards xD. oh famous study cards. Summarize and be assertive (^-^)b.
*Prepare a day plan (study day plan maybe) and stick to it x), no matter if Drrr! episode is out or Soul Eater's next volume (which both are but focus D:!!), whenever you fail a promise to youself, you are losing confidence to yourself. Whenever you do what you told yourself you would do, your confidence raises (a lot =D, well in my case ^-^, which I'm sure its yours too).
*And lastly, may be too chessy ^^;. Look at the sky, day or night, and tell yourself its not the end of the story, because you are way better to let the stress win over you(that one is a personal comment of mine, not the advice o wob)
I hope those will help you out ^^. Whenever I don't apply one of them it's phobia time or study stress migranes xD. (with exagerations in those lines of course ^^).
As soon as you told me the name I searched for it =D. It sounds really interesting, thanks a lot for the advice, I will see if its available in my Chapters ^^.
Farewell for now ^^. If you can't, don't reply.Take your time to finish your semester. You can do it!! =D
BROTHE~R!!! How nice to hear from you! You *temporarily* ease my stress right now :D
Somehow, I get the feeling that "you" and "bad grades" don't mix together very well. You sound like a studious student, which is VERY VERY good (keep up the good work!!). Unlike SOMEONE who has a fat 80% chance of getting expelled from college and then massacred by the parents... STRESSSTRESSSTRESS. Donotfollowme.
You also seem like quite an insightful person (especially when it comes to literary works). Your comments are like the one you gave me on "The Sky is Blue", which VERY MUCH took me off guard (and still does). You really look INTO the book, not just the letters on the page~ (I envy that skill of yours >_>)
Your books sound interesting. The first one sounds interesting. I should look for it! Also, may I throw in another recommendation? I don't know if it's available over there (though it SHOULD. The author is CANADIAN *bonus points*). It's entitled "Nikolski", by Nicolas Dickner. It's the most wonderful book I've ever read and know stands in the very first place in my top 5.
It's always a pleasure to help others on their way to become great writers! I can't wait to see your first work! (But study first!)

P.S.: I'm about to finish my (desastrous) semester, so I'll be able to reply your latest Note in DA!
