PFC (Join to see) Not all of it will be fun, interesting, make sense. Ignore that for now, if what you are being asked to do,learn, lead, is not illegal, immoral or unethical, strive to do "it" as best you can.
Every night before you sleep, every morning as you wake, and whenever the suck is upon you. Take a breath, smile inside and remember nothing last for ever. Get though the hour, the day, push till you think you can not, then push some more.

It’s an experience. Listen to your DS and do what you’re told. Push yourself for all the assessments and you’ll be fine

Know that it's going to suck. But the suck will end. Move fast. Move with a purpose. Follow all commands from the tower. Know that you will screw up. Focus on each task as they come about.
