starting my new course at college tonight, and I'm feeling a bit nervous about it. had a few rough weeks just lately, and it's knocked my confidence a little bit....
anybody have any words of wisdom to help calm my nerves?? |

Everyone else will be feeling the same. My advice is to arrive early enough to park and find the classroom, take notebook and pen, small change for a drink at break time and say hello to every person who walks into the room, speak to the people who sit next to you and enjoy it. What course are you doing?
I hope you thoroughly enjoy it. Good luck. |

First days can be great: a whole new part of your life just waiting to begin!
Remember that you'll have something in common with everyone there since it's college so you'll all be studying the same subject by choice.
I was going to wish you good luck but I don't think you'll need it so I'll just say enjoy.  |

thanks for the advice, notebook and pen already in my bag, lol and when I'm nervous my big mouth goes into overdrive and I don't shut up, so by the end of the evening everyone will know my name lol
i'm doing my level 1 in British sign language but have to complete an introductory course first as this is part of the course. I will be ok, once I'm there, just the waiting for it that's making me nervous.

You will be fine once there. A new venture makes most of us feel nervous but once there you will relax.
I did it last year and I was worried I'd be the oldest there. Thankfully I wasn't and people from all walks of life enjoying going on courses.
Have a great time |

Oooooooooo I am starting a new course there as well .... perhaps we can sit next to each other ... nothing bad will happen ...
actually all that above is not true but it should have made you smile ... and just remember as long as I am not in the same room, normality should reign ... have a really good time and enjoy ... and don't forget to learn something too - good luck |

Turn up with some love eggs inserted. You won't be feeling nervous and if you get energetic in signing, you may end up adding a few words to their lexicon.... 
Failing that, have an early tea, get there, have a great time. |

it went really well, but I know next week is going to be harder because we've been told we can't talk.... I haven't been silent for more than a minute since my a levels.... don't think I'm going to last 2 and a half hours without talking  |
