Responsibly shitting myself

I'm a little bit scared about what will happen when I do eventually start work. I left University and haven't ever worked full-time properly. I've gone and got this ace job looking after people with learning disabilities, it's pretty much everything I could hope for (apart from being paid to write down my favorite song lyrics (and i'm pretty sure that doesn't exist as a job)), I'm not stuck in an office and get to work with people all day, it's a really rewarding feeling helping others and I get paid really well to do it!

BUT

I don't know how I'm going to cope with the change. I'm hoping that because I can wear what I want (hopefully piercing included) and it's not in an office environment etc. it won't seem too much like work. (I need to sort my hours out too, cause as of yet I have no idea what hours I will have to work). I'll have to wake up in the AM and go to sleep in the PM, I'll have responsibility and money (meaning i'll have to pay tax, board and be able to buy things again).

All of these things I want, or at least I think I do. I definitely want to start supporting myself more and want to pay my way, but I know that because I've spent basically the past 3 months doing absolutely sweet fuck all that it's going to be a mental transition.

Maybe I'm just talking crap and fingers crossed everything will run smoothly, but as much as I am willing it to hurry up, i'm shitting myself. Not only will I be responsible for myself but also up to 13 people with learning difficulties.... wow, mind fuck.
