Congratulations to you Lil!
Sounds silly now but I studied so hard for my driver's test back in high school. I was sooooooooo scared to fail it the first time out. I passed it but I can remember as if it were yesterday how nervous I was at "on the road" test time!
Also, taking my open water certification test. I almost hyperventilated as we dove down 27 ft. to the first platform in a quarry (we only ever played around in a pool prior to this) to do the underwater part of the test. That's not a good thing cause you should always just breathe normally. I'm claustrophobic and I had different expectations of how I was going to feel under all that water. Turns out it's more open than surrounding. After the test (which I passed) I was the only one in my class with a reading of air close to 500lbs. That's not good either because you really shouldn't dive with 500 or less pounds of air!
