    Ok. I confess. James has bought me new shoes for next Saturday in an attempt to manage my anxiety, as surely even I can't trip in flat shoes while walking across a flat stage?

    It feels absolutely ridiculous but my anxiety levels are slowly creeping up even though I've done this before and pretty much know what to expect!

    It’s not ridiculous, this degree means an enormous amount to you so this is important. I hope your anxiety keeps itself at a manageable level so you can truly enjoy your special day
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I completely agree!

    Remember there is a fine line between excitement and anxiety. This is so important, you've worked so hard, you bloody well deserve to have a lovely day. It's natural to be nervous and I'm really, really glad you're talking about it.
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Anxiety levels are creeping up, it contributed to me flapping a bit when I spotted a gap, came off the clutch too early and stalled! But perhaps a mark of how far I have come is I still loved my lesson!

    Everybody stalls, lovely. I’ve stalled my automatic which apparently is ‘impossible’!
