The panic mostly comes from the nine years of no exams (do I still know how to hold a pencil? do they even use pencils?), and the fact that the lady told me very few people take the CPE and asked me if I wanted to take the Advanced first. We spoke in Italian the whole time, so it's not like she knew anything about my skills, she was just being nice. Still, you know, panic.
And if this were a movie this would be the time I break into a uplifting song about overcoming obstacles, that ends with the camera zooming out and the waves and the sun rising...
