I'm procrastinating by reading up about Ubuntu on the Ubuntu forums. It's all beyond my understanding right now, but I'm excited to learn.
I want to learn to use the terminal. I want to learn all the commands.
Free applications sounds great.
:-)

I'm procrastinating. I should be studying organic chem, but intead I'm reading about Linux, Ubuntu, terminals, programming languages etc.
I spend the whole day reading the Ubuntu forums.
Now I've gotten it into my mind that I want to learn Python. LOL I can barely use my computer and I want to learn programming? Is it possible?
I'm soooo procrastinating! Help.

Deneb you have great concentration but seriously study. Wow now you know all that about computers? Is that what the word is a type of computer programming? Love Phillipa

It's a version of Unix for PCs. It's an alternative to running Windows...

I can't seem to get studying. It's all very overwhelming to me. I'm really behind because of that crisis I had. I can't face this.
I don't know what to do.
I wish I could stop time. I don't work well under pressure.

(((Deneb))) It's OK to feel nervous, and I think you're expressing yourself well here...
When is your exam? There's still time, I think, which is all you really need. Take a deep breath. Relax. Repeat. Right now, you have everything you need. With or without a good grade in organic chemistry.
You're fine just the way you are, right now. You have air to breathe, food to eat, a warm place to sleep. Just let yourself feel that for a while.
Now... look, you have an opportunity! You can do something I never did - you can complete an organic chemistry class! Billions of people have not made it has far as you have in organic - billions! And you have the brains and the drive to do that last little piece that will lead to the recording of your achievement on an academic transcript. Hooray for Deneb!
We're all in your corner, and we know you can do it... let yourself shine!

Isn't this how you felt last time?
And you did all right then, iirc?
This is just the way you feel before exams.
