Keep in mind the skills and talents that you possess and discuss how you will use them to excell in the new position. Be sure to take another copy of your resume with you, just in case the first one was misplaced or there is more than one interviewer. Obviously you've already been noticed by the fact that your application/resume held the prospective employer's attention enough to call you for an interview.
1) Tonight eat a healthy meal but don't overeat. Be sure to eat breakfast tomorrow morning - again healthy and not overfilling. Avoid anything that might give you "feedback" tomorrow during the interview.
2) You might try exercising to work off some excess energy.
3) Prepare your outfit for tomorrow. Be sure there aren't any spots, loose threads, etc. Check your shoes to be sure they are in good shape - no scuffs. Be sure your outfit and accessories are professional - not too tight, revealing, etc. but that it fits well.
Be sure your fingernails and hands are clean and well groomed.
4) Do something relaxing such as a long shower/bath, read a book, listen to soothing music, etc.
5) Get a good night's sleep. Set the alarm for 15 minutes earlier than usual so you can be sure to get to the interview on time. Plan alternate routes for getting to the interview if there is an accident or something that holds up transportation.
6) Be sure to have the company's phone number and know the position for which you applied. If you do happen to run late (which you should avoid if at all possible) you need to call them immediately to explain the situation and determine whether the interview can be rescheduled.
7) Be sure you've done your homework on the company. What products/services do they provide? Who are their target customers? How can you help them achieve their goals?
8) Be sure to have questions for the interviewer - other than salary/benefit questions. Things like why the position is open, what opportunities does it lead to, what's the average time someone stays in the position, what is a typical day like, what is the schedule, etc.

Relax, if it's a job interview all they can say is no, and you move on. Don't sweat the small stuff, who needs a job. What can they do, repo your car, shut off your electricity, foreclose on your home. If none of this applys then you have nothing to worry about. If they do apply then there is always the bus and plenty of cardboard boxes to call home. Good luck
