Stage Check Time~

So I am finally almost done with my CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) course, which only means one thing....Stage Check time! So a stage check is like a final check before the FAA will give you a certificate. So..needless to say they are rather stressful. I have to recall a huge amount of information at any minute. When my examiner asks me a question, I am expected to know the answer and know where to find it and how to teach it to someone who has no freakin clue about what I'm talkin' about! So a bit of pressure. But for me now the time has come where I have two stage checks right in a row.
I the past, I have always freaked out about these things. I never sleep at all the night before a stage check and I turn into a total crazy person. But this time...I had an epiphanie. I decided that who cares! What would be the worst thing that could happen to me? I fail...does anyone die? NO...is anyone in trouble? NO...so why so I freak? I don't know.So I didn't not care about what was going to happen this time. And to my amazement... I passed and I did fine. It was like all the stress was gone. I loved it. It was like the best thing that has every come over me in like my entire life. Just thought you all should know...it was lovely!
