There's no waiting room, just a landing on the stairs, where I leave my coat and shoes. I try not to be there more than five minutes ahead of time. How I feel while standing there varies wildly, from "I can't wait for this appointment to start" to being scared sh itless. Once or twice I've really wanted to grab my things and bolt before he buzzes me in, but I've never done that and I don't really think I ever will.
