Its been quite awhile since I've been back to something like a school setting. After quite some consideration, I decided to go through with getting the 6 month AAPC course to train for obtaining a certification as a CPC (Certified Professional Coder) as my next big step in life. So far its been going ok for the most part, its been things I have some familiarity with (due to being around some of this as a Registration Clerk for around 7 years). I only just started it a few days ago (barely a week in) and I sort of have this feeling that I'm in and over my head already. I don't know if this is a normal feeling others have gotten before when first starting out, but for some reason I just feel out of place about learning all of these medical terminologies I'm not familiar with (outside of some Orthopedic and Spine terms). Its like, I feel like I'm way in over my head with this/maybe ill prepared. I also look at these practice quizzes for the chapters of my book thinking I shouldn't look at my book so I can actually learn these terms and try my best to retain knowledge of what they mean. It sort of feels like its cheating, but there is so many terms to take in.

Am I just getting anxious for nothing because I'm still quite new to all of this?
