Just mentally prepare yourself to deal with silly stuff. It’s temporary. If you can get past o week and the first semester, you’ll be ok.

Just get in a mindset to study everyday. Make a commitment now to learn the information correctly for the sake of your job. I’ve seen too many people fail and get held back.
