So the only bra store that's near where I live is la Senza and I want to get measured but I want someone who has gotten it done before to tell me exactly how it goes. I'm TINY soooo I'm scared that they'll laugh or something and I hear stories about how La Senza only has large bra sizes (but I just want to know MY SIZE so when ever I go to the store I'll just look at the size on the tag, buy, and done!).

A lady will use a tape measure to measure round the top of your rib cage and around your breasts at their widest part. She will then help you select some bras which fit.
A word of warning: all bras are different, you should always try them on even if you know your size in that shop as certain shapes and types of bras fit differently. You should also remember that different shops' bras vary in sizes, so just because you are one size in one place, don't assume you will be the same size in another.
As for La Senza only stocking large sizes, that's not true. Actually, their sizes tend to be on the small side (for example a D in La Senza is the equivalent of a C elsewhere).
You have nothing to worry about, the person who measures you will have seen it all before. A well-fitting bra is really important for your posture, your back and most importantly, your boobs, so it's worthwhile to get one that you know fits perfectly.
