Test Anxiety

I don't usually get nervous before I take a test but I must confess that I'm experiencing a fair amount of anxiety tonight. My heart races periodically and my tummy gets flutters - either it's anxiety or a bad reaction to tonight's taco soup - but the soup was good so I'm assuming it's the former. I think I'm nervous because A) I've had 5 years to take this darn test and procrastinated terribly and B) I really need to get back to work because our bank account has been drastically reduced over this past year, due to Eric's work issues and our untimely car repairs! And did I mention that Christmas is well on it's way? Yes, I need to pass this test. Hence, the reason why I feel anxious - it feels like so much is depending on my passing grade. Fortunately, if I don't pass a section (there are three) I can retake just that section in 30 days so all is not lost. I'm just really kicking myself for being such a procrastinator - definitely an undesirable trait and one that I have every intention of getting rid of...eventually...when I get around to it...just kidding (mostly)! So if you think of me tomorrow between 10:00 and 2:30, please send up a prayer to the testing gods that they will take pity on me and send passing test scores my direction!
