student worries

Student:  Is today a work day?

Me:  Yes.  You can work on the online assignment.  I will need 10 minutes to talk about the quiz.

Student:  I love work days.

Me:  Why?

Student:  There's no pressure.  You can just work on stuff until you get it.  There's no stress to keep up.

Me:  I understand when there's stress on test days.  Is there stress on days when we learn new things?

Student:  Yes.  I'm worried I will fall behind. 

Me:  Do you fall behind?

Student:  No, but I'm worried I will.
