So I had an 8 am midterm today, and those are not always the best for a commuter. I woke up at 3am to study, plus I wanted to leave a little bit earlier so I would not be late. I usually get to this class about 5-10 minutes late because of the traffic on the lovely 91 freeway. I decided to leave 20 minutes earlier to ensure that I would be on time for my midterm.

Well those 20 minutes were wasted on trying to just get onto the freeway. btw my house is less than 2 miles from the freeway. So I was running late even though I was still so close to home. And then it was drizzling this morning, and of course people do not know how to drive in this weather so there was an accident and traffic was terrible. I was 15 miles away from school, and I only had 15 minutes till my midterm started, so of course I start freaking out. I felt like I was going to have a panic attack. I was stuck on the freeway with no escape, I was getting claustrophibic and showing signs of agoraphobia. I was cussing and I was frustrated.

Ironically my test was on mood, dissociative, and anxiety disorders. I felt like I had all the freaking anxiety disorders this morning. I was late to my midterm, but my professor was cool with it because he is cool like that. I am just waiting for my heart rate and breathing to go back to normal.
