Why am I suddenly feeling so nervous? Like I need to redo everything?

 

[Cedarpoint1111]

Lol I feel the same way. I have all the answers in my notepad, my phone notes, and on the back of 2 grocery receipts and I keep changing shit around.

[Chewy]

I'm pretty sure every answer I put down is wrong, but I'm at peace with it. No point in flipping out over the next two hours
