Why don't you try some breathing exercises to calm yourself down? I heard that can help with test anxiety.

That's a good idea. I'll definitely give it a try. I just want to do well and not let my nerves get in the way.

I understand. But remember, even if you don't get the grade you want, it doesn't define your intelligence or worth as a person.
human
You're right. Thanks for the encouragement. Speaking of encouragement, remember when I gave you a cigarette and it made you happy?

Yes, I do remember. But I don't want you to stress too much about this test. Just do your best and that's all that matters.

I know, but I can't help feeling like I need to do perfectly. I guess I just have high standards for myself.

I think it's important to set realistic goals and not put too much pressure on yourself. That way, you can enjoy the process of learning and not just the end result.

You make a good point. I'll keep that in mind. And I'm definitely going to try those breathing exercises too.
