Stop.
Quit making yourself do the whole task/lab report all at the same time.

Ok. So when I was finished, it ended up being 27 pages long. I spent about 10~15 hours on it. The worst part was, was that it had very illl defined instructions. Most of the time was spent tweaking things with excel and minor word processing stuff. Just the pure volume of graphs and error analysis, it was just mindless shuffling stuff around to make it look pretty. And, I started 2 days ahead of time. Well, it'll be fine for next time.

Though I loved the actual experiment being in the lab. It was cool to take data, and derive the equations and stuff like that. Got lots out of the actual process of doing the experiment.

you get the point. Your apartment clean?

hehe... why yes it is... I could show you a picture if you'd like...

And the very next day you'll be hired by Nasa.

I've already got a good job. A research job at that..., though I don't want a job because chasing grants is quite restrictive... you still can't do exactly what you want to do, and if it doesn't please some other people, or its not mainstream enough, then you're out of luck...

It's going to be a lot less painful to do something you DONT want to do if you switch it on and off with something else, especially if that something else requires you to move, because you'll be getting excerise, increasing your "happy" endorfins. Giving your brain time to relax.

Do plenty of that... I go running for 30~40 minutes in the morning, and I do go walking and running and take breaks... but the unexpected massive volume of the lab report...but it will be better next time.

Okay, don't tell me that when you walk into a club, the first thing you say to yourself is " where are all that fat chicks? I hope I can laid by a fat chick tonight. The uglier the better " LOL

So yea... looks matter, though I guess its more of body language that matters, and I guess you do express that with the way you look. But you could be a pretty person, and still be afraid, or still be dorky, or a total jackass... so its the type of looks that matter. Or even this... you could look so good that the girl wouldn't even think that she has a chance with you, so she doesn't even try to get to know you... or well, if you don't have any good conversation skills, then yea... I guess you could stare at each other...

4) Make your bed, I know you need to.

... you're right... you know me too well.... but that's the only messy thing in my room, promise

Go to your teacher, " I don't want to do this lab, let me make up my own experiment to test this hypothesis/theory." And the very next day you'll be hired by Nasa.

But actually doing that... well he's a TA. I could spend 40 hours making up an experiment... but then well... there goes all my other classes... down the drain..., and I could spend that time figuring out how to make some money by not trading time, but trading ideas.

So here's the dealio:
1) I'm not going to clean 'cause it's late.

Exactly why my bed is messy, because I was almost late with the physics lab, because I let it draw out waayyy to long. If I could have made it go faster, I would have.

2) I have to study review for my math class test

Had an exam today, and also a ~5 hour machine project due today.

3) I have to do homework for my math class

Got another ~6 hour machine project due tommarow.

Then I've got another exam on Friday.

so I have at least 2 tasks that I can interweave, that will hopefully alleviate my anxiety because I'll be taking care of both tasks until I have to go to bed.

Well... whatever you do... don't lock yourself in your room for hours on end, like you said, study in some fun places where there's other people around, and bring some music along to block out other noises... but just having other people around keeps the anxiety away. Good luck.
