The Morning-Of...
I woke up at 4AM, already with a headache and an upset stomach. Perhaps it was just the nerves of the day, but all of a sudden, I was a hypochondriac.
I drank my morning coffee, the way I always do, and my stomach started gurgling. I'm lactose intolerant. I'm nauseous right now. I must obviously be pregnant. My sinuses. My sciatica. Literally, everything.
Eventually, my husband was able to gather me up, despite the fact that I was a blubbering puddle of anxiety, and we made our way to the Pearson Professional Center. I attempted to get myself pumped with music, trying to see if I could channel my nerves into something productive, all the while attempting to cram regular lab values back into my head. I worked myself up a playlist and tried to shift my mind into a better place to take the biggest exam of my life.
"Killer Queen" - Queen
"Eye of the Tiger" - Survivor
"Lose Yourself" - Eminem
"Let it Go" - Idina Menzel
Well. You get the gist of it.
