      Thankfully I had the opposite: “So if I ace this assignment, I’ll go up another letter grade?” This does not translate to graduate work where there isn’t grading though.

    I find that I am willing to spend an unfortunate amount of time avoiding the thing and calculating the consequences of not doing whatever the thing is, but end up doing it anyway while being continuously stressed about not doing it and then actually having to do it.

    Can’t win.
