You remember you got all anxious before that exam, quite needlessly as
you scored top grade.
You'll find the same with this new course,  you'll see.
I know it's no use me telling you not to worry, because it looks to me
as if you are convinced that if you approach something without worrying
and getting all tense, you will automatically fail.
In moderation, it's a god thing, because that adrenalin rushing into the
bloodstream brings you up to your maximum performance.
The trick is to control it so it doesn't make you too anxious;  I've no
idea how that could be managed though!

I hate those feelings. When ever I am under stress I just want to
smoke ---- gggggrrrrrrhhh

Oy!  Belay that talk there!
You know smoking would just make you feel miserable for falling down on
your quit,  not to mention the loss of , what is it now, 8 months, 9?
You got through a lot of nasty times without going back to breathing in
poisonous smoke: you can do it again and again, till that nicotine fiend
is forced to admit he cannot win,  as I think my little old demon has,
because I haven't had an urge to smoke for ages.

but I am not going to smoke, I got through worse things without a
cigarette, so I will do it again.

That's more like it!> wish me luck that my class mates are nice and the teacher too.

Just remember  they are all feeling anxious and apprehensive too,
including the teacher! How would you like to stand before a crowd of
strangers, all staring at you?  I know I couldn't do  it
