Like Karen said, the demo is such a non item..... I was beyond terrified, I really was physically ill and ready to leave the first year.... it turned out that the demo is THE best thing that can happen at the beginning of GS. It turns out it is a lot of fun, there is NO need at all to stress about it.
For those of you that are nervous, please try and put that aside and just enjoy it. You will be welcomed, you will be appreciated, you will be encouraged period... you will NOT be snubbed, you will NOT be demeaned you will NOT be made to feel inferior in ANY way. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE enjoy the demo from the very start. WE ALL HAVE FUN!!!

And if it takes Karen rubbing a puppy tummy on my head to break the ice.... I'm willing to take that one for the team
