Should I be scared that I'm not scared?

I start school in two days. And, honestly, I am not as scared as I thought I would be. I am totally fine and calm. I feel very well informed of what to expect this coming week. Is this normal? I like my instructors, my classmates are great, I feel prepared and ready to work, and things are just peachy. I have already started reading my texts and trying to get a little ahead of things while I can.
Is this the calm before the storm or am I in for a rude awakening? Because, I just don't see it.

What school are you attending? If your instructors are great with giving information about what to expect it is normal for you to feel a little comfortable just don't slack off stay on iPod everything and try not to fall behind.

Don't feel left out! Just give it a couple weeks, you'll get it and it will hit you hard.

I thought the first week wasn't bad until I realized what the test material was and prior students. Take it day by day cautiously! Keep up a happy mood though, and enjoy every day of it!

Actually, no. I don't think you're feeling wrong at all. I have felt the same way, and Im going into week 4. I was just saying this in another thread....it's ok to be worried/scared a little. But try your best not to get stressed. As soon as you do, it will take a toll. It will take up needed brain space as well as take up your time. If you understand how important it is, and you bust your butt, you'll do fine!
