Exam time
Know what I never, ever stress out about? Tests. I love tests; the more math the better. It's quiet, and I just get to sit there and tune the world out and focus on problems that have obvious quantitative solutions, then hand them in knowing I'm 92-98% right, 95% of the time. And then go home, because classes are usually canceled around exam time.
Sometimes, when the winter makes me crazy, I can't concentrate, so I can't learn as easily, so I start to panic that it's permanent and I'm not as smart anymore. Tonight I've been reviewing a concept that I... missed earlier, and I'm relieved to find it very simple after all. Especially because the exam is tomorrow. :)

Somewhat related, because it explains much of the pressure I put on myself: Does Gender Matter in Science? (pdf, 4 pages.)
Highlight: A study found that women needed to be 2.5 times more productive than men in order to be considered equally competent.
