I take the GRE test tomorrow at noon and I am literally falling apart. My hip is deforming, I'm having a polka-dot party (my HS friends might remember this particular euphemism); my brain is overflowing with numbers, letters, expressions,and random math facts; and one of my co-workers at FRIS is down with Swine Flu as of yesterday...I've been holding my breath and bathing in AB gel since I found out....(feel better, Trish!!!)....AND I've got a to-do list about a mile long!!!! AAAaaaauuuughghghgh!!!
Okay. I feel a little better. I've done my daily affirmations and I'm feeling better about some things. For example...this test is just a test. It doesn't mean anything. I will get a good enough score so I will not should all over myself...(sorry....I'm having a Stuart Smalley morning!)
Plus, Halloween is right around the corner...and I love Halloween. We have a fun party tonight...can't wait!!! I'm looking forward to having something to take my mind off the test! Trunk-or-Treat is next week and I always love doing my Miss Fortune Teller show. I love how much the kids enjoy it! It is very satisfying. And I told Taylor she could invite some of her friends for a party next week too....not to mention the actual having of Halloween. Lots to get ready for but it's always one of my favorite times of year.
In retrospect, I should probably have planned the test date a little better, but there I go again! Focus, Tonya. Think positive!. What's done is done! Tomorrow is a new day (also Test Day) but the day after that will be awesome! Wish me luck! I will need it!

Just reading the word TEST makes me ill. My advice is take chew peppermint gum. It helps settle your tummy…and Good Luck!!!
Yes, tomorrow is a new day!

Be sure and call me after and let me know that it wasn't a big deal after all. (I know that you can't help being stressed before, but I also know that you are more than capable to get a great score - Chronic overachiever and all).
Love, Dad
