Just chill, there’s no reason to worry. Though it shows how important it is to you, all it does it cause stress and detriment to yourself. Have confidence in yourself and hold your head high!

Again. Waaay to far unless MSO wants to cover my hotel or something. I'm a poor college student. :roll:

I'm pretty sure I did worse on my eighth grade tryouts then I did on my seventh grade one. As long as you don't let your grades slip or become overly obnoxious to the point where even the coaches can't handle it (and from my memory, you are not obnoxious) you'll be fine. Also rip Food Science and RFTS conflict nats.

You'll do fine. Obviously you want to study for them, but I avoid most stress by just not thinking about what the results will be, and I just try to do my best. I know that sounds really cheesy, but it legit works for me at least.

That gives me a bit more confidence, thanks! The conflict isn't good... I'm hoping I can do both Food Science and RFTS at state, and then go from there.

How many are you used to? My school's program typically has ~75 members, and I don't see any problem.
