Test Anxiety

I am so grateful to my friend, Nat, who saved my life today. I am taking the Praxis II tomorrow, and to help calm my anxiety, last week I went to BYU to scope out the location of the test which was scheduled for the Heber J. Grant building. But two days ago the testing center called and changed the test location to what sounded like the Morris Center, and they also overnighted a new admission ticket which arrived yesterday. Apparently, I read it wrong, because it wasn't at the Morris Center, it is at the MARB, which Nat and I found out through a series of missteps, one unhelpful fellow, and two very helpful people who were kind enough to call around and find out where the test had been moved to--the MARB, as my ticket in fact does say--and then Nat showed me how to drive close to it, where to park (where to have someone drop me off fairly close), and she even walked me to the building and went inside with me so that I won't be in a panic tomorrow morning at 7am. Thank you Nat! You are such a great friend and saved me from a morning of sorrow and despair!! So, now I am trying to de-stress even more by drinking a extra large orange dream machine smoothie and getting ready to take a practice Praxis II test in a few minutes. If you are the praying type, send one my way tonight or tomorrow. I will be ever so grateful!

Oh Heidi, you will do awesome. I say that with complete confidence! I believe in you. I'll pray that you can be calm and comfortable. That's the only thing you need help with.
Love you.

You will do great! Even though you won't need them to pass there are prayers going up for you and if for no other reason to help you feel calm and confident ;-)
