1) Take notes
2) Keep your area clean at all times
3) Don't be late
4) Ask questions
5) Don't think
6) Keep busy at all times
7) Take notes
8) Wash hands often
9) Learn
10) Take notes
11) Ask for help when needed
12) Take notes

And the two most imporatnt ones are.
1) Don't kill anyone with your food
2) Absolutely enjoy the moment

DID I MENTION TAKE NOTES? Bring a small pocket notepad and a pencil or pen.

Best wishes on your new journey!
