...what do you do?
I think others might have posted something like this before, but I either forget them or totally missed them or something to that end, so if some of you are treating as a repost of what whoever has already done this (because I forget that too), I apologize.
So, I actually managed to get through a lab session today, which is just amazing considering how afraid I still am of people. It was both really scary and really aggravating -- the aggravating part was that the underlying concept of the lab today is one that I still don't understand, which has me frustrated. I tried everything I could think of, considering I can't afford a private tutor, to find help this past week, nothing panned out (what is this with tutors only being available on the weekends when I can't get on campus anyway?), and only yesterday was I really able to start doing YouTube snipe hunts (no other way to call it) to fill in the gaps.
To put it briefly, I've been awfully anxious recently, and I'm not the best at taking the edge off. So, if you have to take your mind off of things...what is that you do, just so I have some ideas?

I'm also a fan of old movies (including silent flicks). They just relax me with a simpler outlook on the world. And reading- tons of reading.
