Subjected to Testing

Just taking a moment to write here about what I have to do in the next few days that is scaring the living HELL outta me!

After all my procrastination and lazing around, I finally had to make some decisions about my life and put the plan into motion.
Luckily, my trip to England had the desired effect of clearing the cobwebs from my brain and I came home ready to get started on a new career and a new life.

I still harbor my dreams of writing (finishing) a book and studying or writing also about Tudor England, but I'm no longer deluded into believing I can pay the rent doing either.

I haven't made the information public yet, (I'm fairly anonymous here) but I have decided to go back to school - Montgomery College - to *try* to pursue a career in Diagnostic Medical Sonography. That's doing ultrasounds and sonograms. I haven't chosen a particular specialty yet but I will have to soon - if I get into the program. It is not enough to want to do this, you need to qualify and be accepted into the program by the college.

To get in, I must take a placement test and then pass the required pre-requisite classes before March 1 of next year. I have an appointment to take my test tomorrow afternoon. I am so freaking scared! I need to do well in math and I have NEVER done well in math!

Yes, I have been reviewing and studying but I am still worried I will do very poorly on the test.
Moreover, what the hell will I do if I can't get into the program?
