Angela,
I know that you're gonna do great. You've been making SO much progress, in terms of driving yourself around town, doing [craft] projects and playdates with friends.This is a big thing to take on, but I think that you'll get into a rhythm by the 3rd week or so. I think that buying a new outfit and a pretty notebook takes away a lot of the jitters.
Also, as a college instructor, I was usually more nervous than the students (or so I perceived!). Plenty of students feel nervous-- in fact, I think that's the norm. I always supect that the super-cocky ones are unusual in their own special ways.
I dunno that this makes you feel any better, but make sure and keep us updated as classes start. It's okay to have a freak-out meltdown on babble. God knows *I* have. And I probably will again.
Sometimes having our own issues makes us more understanding of different viewpoints and more openminded and curious-- great qualities of a student.
