If you're looking for something to help with the anxiety, I will tell you that I was an English major and decided I needed an MBA to fall back on in case I ever lost my job. I was TERRIBLE at math though and had to take the GMAT which at the time (don't know about now) had a big math component, and the degree itself was full of quantitative coursework. I studied though, took it and got in and then really applied myself in the courses like statistics. I can remember washing the dishes while listening to recordings I had made of my courses - I just immersed myself. I got the degree while working full time including a lot of travel so there was not a lot of goofing off during that time but I really felt like I had accomplished something after plowing through it. I won't lie, it was hard work but totally worth it.

What type of graduate degree do you want to get?

I've never been good at asking for help and every time I send an email I imagine my very busy English professors shaking their heads at the nuisance that I am, even when they respond enthusiastically. The beautiful thing about Canadian grad schools is that they don't care about standardized testing.

Oh wow thats great! And I wouldn't worry about asking your professors for recommendations. They are used to it and happy to do it for good students.
