I am SO nervous!

[kewlhippiechick]

Okay...so I start my first class at college in 50 minutes.
I am nervous as heck!
Today is Criminal Justice, tomorrow is Criminal Investigation...my knees are shaking!
Is this normal? I know I've been out of school for, uh...18 years, but c'mon!
*deep breath*

[Felidae]

Yes, it's normal!

When I went back I was scared to death, but after the first week I felt a lot better.

[Moon Momma]

Its definitely normal! I just started school last semester and it was the first time I'd been to school in 10 years. I still have my rough days, especially since I go to a women's college (a Catholic one at that!), but you'll be fine!
I think its awesome that you're going back!!! If you ever wanna vent or need any help with anything, PM me! (I'm taking law classes so we're kinda on the same wavelength. :))

[Antoninus]

Feh, normal as anything. Take comfort in the fact that most of the other people in the room will be nervous as hell too.

[Nighthawk]

Yep... pretty normal.... but I would bet you will do well...

I will! Most definately! Expect a PM in about, oh...2 hour after my class! :lol:

You'll be fine...in fact, you'll probably do better than a lot of the more "normal" aged students because you won't be dealing with all of the "Hooray, I'm finally free of my parents!" feelings that sometimes take over and ruin people's grades. You'll be just fine!

[Druchii]

It's just like riding a bike, of course I always fell off...
:hehehehe: BUT you will be fine :)

How did you know I was like that back in '82? LOL! And I made it thru ASU with a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry anyway! Dang! THAT was hard!

[Cev'aq]

:hugz: Good luck, and have a great day!

[Calyx]

KHC,
You will be great, I just know it. :hugz: Sending some energy for calm and inner peace to you, so you will be able to concentrate in class. Just go and enjoy it--you will be OK!
Let us know if we can help you with your homework! :lol:

[Dextra]

You'll do great! I went back to school after about 8 years, and it was scary at first, but you'll be in the swing of things in no time! I'm here if you need me too, so PM me if you need someone to talk to. :hugz:

[Pesha]

KHC you go girlfriend. Knock them dead in class. You are intelligent and wise and will do really well. Best of luck to you love.

Okay...so it wasn't so bad. Except now I'm nervouse about writing my term paper! And all the reading I have to do!
Sheesh! It's always something!! LOL!

[MerrisHawk]

Here's a wish for you to ace every test. :)

Sister tells me that her best bet for doing all her papers and work is with study buddies and they get to it right after they get home. Maybe it'll help you too.

Tell me about it! I've got 3 papers due this month! It'll be fun though. I love the reading. It feels good to know that I am 'expanding my horizons'! LOL
I've got some great links for research and stuff, study skills, etc. Lemme know if you need any. :)
And I think going back to school in your later years makes you appreciate it more. You're not dealing with all of the issues that kids right out of high school are dealing with. A lot of the girls in my classes don't seem to be taking it too seriously and it bugs me because I worry that when they get older, they're gonna wish they had!

[MoonDust]

:woot:

you go girl! btw paper's aren't so bad. Just take it one word at a time & do lots and lots of revisions :D :hugs: congrats

I know this feeling exactly . i dropped out of school in my freshman year to travel, finally got my ged when i was 24, and then this year ( oh no the big 3 0, must do something with my life, lol) am loving being back in school, but the papers sure get my nerves wrought up..

[Goddess Rhiannon]

I have a BS in Criminal Justice....so if you need any help....I am here for you. I will not do your work for you....but I can help you find some investigative clues as to how to answer the question.....rotflmao

[Goddess Rhiannon]

If worse comes to worse....give your professors your phone chat number....you should get a rise out of them as well as an A......lol
