That’s all. I’m excited and kinda scared. I’m really into cars and absolutely love driving and motorcycles look like fun, so I signed up for a course on a whim. Still haven’t told my parents and probably won’t anytime soon, since they believe riding a motorcycle is borderline suicidal and I don’t want them freaking out.
Good on you for taking the course, you’ll do fine.
I took what was at the time the MSF BRC, basic rider course, after getting my license and riding for a year. I still do annual parking lot practice (turns, emergency braking) on my own to keep my skills fresh.

I hear you. Taking the course again isn’t a bad idea, skills you don’t practice don’t get ingrained and those that are get rusty.
As far as confidence, I’ll let you in on a secret… I feel a little anxious before almost every ride and I’ve been riding since the 1980’s. I have a routine of safety checking the bike and my gear before each ride that settles me, it doesn’t take long. More than once I’ve cut short a solo ride or bailed out on a group because I wasn’t focused or feeling it (rule #1, ride your own ride). I wouldn’t worry about it.
