Some quick advice while you get your copy of DR. The first is that DR is good, but this board is 100x more valuable. Trust the veterans like Coach, Greek, Sandi2, RobX, Puppy Dog Tails etc. These folks will tell you thinks that you don't want to hear or believe, but their advice will be invaluable. You'll look back in a month and wonder how you would have survived without the great advice (and love) people freely share here.
Next, do these three things:
1. Exercise. Any type, any time. Just give your body a workout to help alleviate the tidal wave of stress you're going to have to swim through. 2. Eat well. Ditch booze (except in moderation), eat healthy stuff so that you can better accomplish your exercise goals, as well as: 3. Sleep. Deep, recuperative sleep is going to become a rare commodity. Try your best to get as much as you can.
