my own anxiety & panic attacks

i know i should not be but everytime i get to think of my "no grade" dilemma, i get anxious. then anxiety turns into P-A-N-I-C.

im afraid of not getting a grade average of 1.5 in grad school. in USEP, before a student can proceed in the thesis program, he/she must get a 1.5 average in all subject units taken. if one does not get it, he/she has to take the comprehensive exam and pass it, so that one can proceed to the thesis proper.

this is what causes my recent psychological attacks.

compre exams means reviewing & studying and taking up the essay type of examination about JUST ANYTHING and EVERYTHING ABOUT PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION!

and i thought having no grade was enough.

if the university do contact my professor and make her give me a grade, it is not yet over. what if, she gives me a horrible 2? as i have previously calculated, that would mean getting an average of more than 1.5....even my hard-earned flat 1's will not salvage me from the impending compre doom.

maybe im partly to blame why this stuff is happening. ive nursed a dislike for the subject and the teacher ever since i got reprimanded for being tardy for the first time. for pete's sake, she was absent for the first two saturdays and i was way early and when she finally decided to make a show in class, i got late. talk about wrong timing! i have had 4 absences - but please! they were all valid. our professor just refuses to accept our excuses, be it work related or family emergencies. again, talk about injustice.

*sigh*

i know there's no use bitching around but the facts still remains: a delayed MPA degree is looming and im still anxious and panicky.

what's a girl to do?
