I think I nailed it! My exam on Wordsworth was this morning at 10:30. I had anxiety about it all weekend. I made myself a study sheet and Mark helped me study Saturday and Sunday and encouraged me a lot this morning, saying I'd do great.
When I got to class, one of the students suggested we all go to the computer writing lab to type our essay answers and the teacher agreed. So, we trouped down the hall and entered the FREEZING lab and chose our computers to sit at. After sitting down, I turned on the screen and then, as if joining the air conditioner in the corner, I froze up. I forgot how to use a computer. I thought, "What do I need? Do I need to be online to type this up? Wait...I need Microsoft something..." So, I looked until I found Microsoft Word, and then it all came back to me and I felt like the dinosaur that I am in this class full of little chickadees.
I was the first one to complete the exam and I expressed to the professor that I found this to be a bad omen...maybe turning my test in first meant I'd rushed through it and left much of it incomplete. He said encouragingly, "Nonsense. When you know it, you know it." Yea!
I truly hope this isn't one of those situations where I feel like I've completely conquered the entire test (including bonus questions) only to find I was WAY OFF and bombed. You know?

I'm sure you nailed it, also. I'm glad you are taking this class and going back to school. It will seem like a lifetime, but believe me it does come to an end. I started on this trek again 5 years ago. Now I'm one class away from a degree. You can do, one class at a time.
love ya
