So, my last test I got disability accommodations. 10 extra minutes, per hour and a testing room with less than 10 people in it.

But I finished the test within the standard time (just!).

I realise... I need to be able to work at the pace they need me to be able to work at. 30 seconds per bit of information... Fairly standard.

I'm not sure whether or not they would hold it against me, or whatever. With respect to entry... But I really don't want to take that risk. And I... Don't think I need to. I kind of think that the most important thing, really, is (just in case they are paying attention) to not play the disability card. If that makes sense.

I have compression gear. And it helps. A lot. It really really really really does. I think it has made it possible for me to habituate to people, some.

And I have a studio apartment. And it helps. A lot. Again...

I don't think I need to ask for anything else. I'm okay.

The chemistry test is going to be tight, though. I need to practice my strategies for doing things quickly... Things like counting the number of carbons... If you lose your place then you have to start over.. And so many freaking rings... I think the thing to do might be to count the Sp3 and then the Sp2 and then the Sp... Because it is easier to eyeball that way... Anyway... I gotta practice little dinky things like that.

It is helping me to try and keep perspective... 100 marks... But the test is worth 15% or (bio) 33%. So.. It isn't the end of the world if I can't get some of them. Things will come out in the rounding (a little bit) and there is a little bit of a buffer...

Also... I don't need to do as well as most who get in will need to. Because of the whole mature thing... If I can get an A- for Organic I'll be stoked.

I'm just scared because I really want this so very much. More than I've ever wanted anything, I think. I really really really really really really do. And the thought of missing out.. Is really hard.

I've stopped drinking coffee... Onto camomile tea of all things. relax... relax... relax...

It is going to be okay.
