Nervous
I pretty much knew when I decided to major in Sociology that I would most likely have to go to graduate school. I had an idea that it would be business school, but I didn't really stress about it, 'cause it was really far off in my mind. And standing in the way was always the grad school exam.

The company I work for will cover tuition expenses if you work while going to grad school part time. Freakin' tests scare the shit out of me, though. But I've been able to put off taking the test by blaming it on the high cost of the prep. course. So then I get this e-mail that work is offering Princeton Review for kids in the training program for free. And of course, I work my way into the class and am all psyched about it.

Er, at lesat I was, until today. The class starts tomorrow and I'm so freaked out about it. I know not one person on the roster, and I'm scared to death that everyone is going to be smarter than I am. And I'm fine with that, but I don't want them to be annoyed when I ask stupid questions. They're all finance geeks, and I'm... well, I'm me.

I'm just being dumb and insecure... and totally intimidated by people that I don't know. All I need to do is make a friend in the class and I'll be fine. It's actually walking into the room, taking that step... it's not gonna be easy. Thankfully, I'm gonna be uber busy, similar to today, tomorrow at work.

BUT... one of the cool things I've got going tomorrow is that MY PAPA is taking me to lunch... or for coffee... depending on what we have time for. I know that I'm gonna see him next week when I'm in Cali... but I don't care... I'll take any chance I can to spend time with my dear ole dad. :)
