Extremely Anxious

I don't know about you, but I'm one of those people that gets extremely anxious and nervous when she has to put herself out there.  Now I'm not saying that I'm not a social person, I am.  But in my drama club I get so nervous.  It's also a physical issue with me, because my chest starts to hurt and my arms and hands actually start to burn.  I have no clue why, but just thinking about it hurts!!  It's awful.  :[[  

So next week I'm in a performance-- I'm the 3 little pigs in "The True Story of the Big Bad Wolf."  Perhaps you've heard of the book.  My lines?  "Go away, Wolf.  You can't come in.  I'm shaving the hairs on my chinny chin chin."  "Get out of here, Wolf.  Don't bother me again."  "And your old Granny can sit on a pin!"  It's hard to sound angry and say "chinny chin chin" at the same time, let me tell ya. 

I'm almost positive I'll do just fine, but there's always that part of you that is thinking, "Oh my goodness-- I am going to pass out."  (But I have yet to actually pass out!)  I am a worrier to the extreme.  Well, it's only one performance and it'll probably last only 10-15 minutes.  I'm so happy.  :]]
