>I'll bet by the time you get through the five days, you'll be saying things like, "Math is hard!" and "Britney rocks!" and probably giggle a lot and have a compulsion to vote Republican...
ROFLMAO :-)
> The more you think about this, and keep it in your mind, and basically obsess about it, the more nervous you'll get. The more nervous you are, the more likely it is that you will not enjoy your trip nearly as much as you could if you just relaxed!
Yikes. Now I'm worried about being worried about this. Not good. LOL I'm really excited about the trip and I can't help thinking of how it will go. Maybe instead of imagining horrible things happening, I should imagine myself having a really great time...think it and it will come true. :-) Or, maybe I shouldn't have my hopes too high, I might be disappointed. I dunno... I think things will go all right.
> Rule number one about meeting new people: if you're tense and upset and worrying about whether they'll like you, you probably won't be a very likeable version of yourself.That's a scary thought. I don't always know how to stop worrying.
> Relax, be yourself, and be prepared to do some things on your own, and some things with others.
I will try to be myself. I'm more myself on the boards than in real life. I will try to be Deneb.
> Have fun. I wish I were going.
I wish you were going too.
