I'm starting an intensive one-semester pre-engineering course next week. It will resemble high school education but with fewer students in each class and good teachers (private school).

I am new to the city and socially insecure. I believe I am neurologically (?) suited to develop skills in mathemathics, and I find physics understandable. Still, there are lots of concepts to grasp and formulas to remember.

What should I do to mentally prepare myself for the academic and social challenges? I consider success in both challenges to be necessary for happiness.

Get up every day and study from 9 in the morning till 5 in the afternoon. Just do mathematical problems and shit like that. The routine of studying will help you get used to focusing for extended periods, which is something I find a huge difficulty with(Highschool dropout who rarely attended school, 1st year studying engineering in a fairly decent college by some miracle).

Once you don't have any psychological problems like I do, once you get into a habit of studying and reviewing previous work you should be fine.

Honestly though I have zero experience of doing any of that and I'm just relaying what I hear from my more studious family.
