NoDirection, I am glad to hear that you have support, from your family and friends. It always help to have someone you can talk to in person.
As far as dread and excitement, it's weird how on this roller-coaster ride, those two go hand in hand? I compare to being a kid again, and just making your way out into the real world. It is both scary and exciting, wondering where your path will take you. All I can say is keep trusting in God, and I know that you will find the right path. Take care.
