gulp

I am actually nervous. Scared, almost. I thought I might have to take a chill pill, my good old vitamin x.

Mrs. P made me a sample kit - she took leaves from all the broadleaf evergreens and wrote the name on the back. I'm not sure we can use it, but I'll ask. Anyway, it was very nice, and a lot of effort on her part, since she doesn't have all those trees on her property.

So. I find this fear somewhat interesting. A dear friend asked me last night when the last time was I took a final. And I really don't know. The closest I can come to how I feel right now is perhaps my first detailing (mammogram, chest x-ray and nuclear bone scan) after my surgery, chemo and radiation. That was pretty scary.

I'm all grown up now. If I flunk out of this class, the worst that will happen is that I won't have to volunteer 100 hours of my time in the next two years. I should worry about that? Heck. I like to sleep in. These freaking gardeners, they do things in the early morning.
