If you're nervous, there is a certain beauty in faking it. Not faking your personality, but faking a sense of confidence. Walk in, head held high, stick your hand out to shake hands, say hi loudly enough that the person you're talking to can hear, answer questions in sentences, not in words. If these kinds of things are daunting to you, hopefully you have a few days to work on it. Seriously, talk to strangers. Say hi to the girl at the check out. Shake hands with your professor, minister, whoever you come across that it might be an appropriate action. For a lot of people this isn't a natural thing to do, but it can be learned.
And don't let them have all the power. You have a say in this process, so don't be a doormat.
