['I am waiting to hear back on how well I did on my college entrance exams.', 'Oh wow! I am sure that you did great! Did you just finish high school?', 'No but going back to school late.']
I can relate to that. I went into the military after high school, and I am currently in college. It was a bit overwhelming getting back into the state of mind required for school, but it is all worth it! What school are you hoping to attend?
I am waiting on my test results to come back.  I'm fairly certainly I did very well on the test.
