I’m taking Impact. The first meeting is today.

It’s a course for women about self defense and mostly rape prevention.

I’m nervous and jittery walking around the kitchen baking cookies.

I’m worried about the following things:

• I’m going to be late
• I won’t like anyone else in the course
• I’ll be scared of just about every guy I see outside of the meetings
• I won’t be able to punch hard, like in that dream I had about the mosquito
• I’ll cry whenever I have to face something difficult
• I’ll be really shy and won’t have the guts to talk to the other girls/women
