I get so caught up in this failing thing that I think it's the end of the world. I need to calm myself.
This is just a class, not my life. There is no need to think it's the end of the world.
Other people have things far far worse than me.
I'm just very anxious right now. I feel like crying, but I'm going to be OK.
I want to life a long healthy life. That is why I'm taking fish oil and vitamin D.
I have things to look forward to, the Babble trip, my netbook, my food scale. I'm going to be OK. It's just a class.

You are correct. Failing a class will not result in the world stopping on its axis.
I have long since stopped being an official student. I have, however, gone recently thru a time of having to study some material that did not bowl me over with excitement and interest. Hence, I waited until close to a last minute push. That's not normally my way of operating. It did not feel good.
Time mangement is opportunity mangement.
Failing won't end anything but the responsibilities at the moment. Studying and being prepared will lessen the chance of failing and will probably be a better alternative to fretting, stressing and burdening yourself with not doing what you know needs doing. It's easier in the long run for alot of reasons (not the least of which is what you owe to yourself and know you are capable of) to get it done while the opportunity presents itself rather than not, IMO.
Good Luck
