maggie should be here in a little while to pick me up. we are meeting several other women & staying in a suite down in columbus for state boards tomorrow.

i feel pretty good right now. there are rising waves of panic that try and overtake me every so often, but so far, i have been able to keep them from bubbling over. it could be harder when surrounded by other stressed out people. i may have to hide out a lot today....

i did wake up feeling as if i have forgotten EVERYTHING. how embarrassing it will be if i do not pass. i should have studied more. yada yada yada.... really, i feel as prepared as i am going to be. i would even venture to say that i feel pretty relaxed right now. the trick will be maintaining that through test time tomorrow.... i just need to keep breathing, and not soak up the anxiety of others. this would be a good time to practice grounding techniques....
