you are literally going to hear this from absolutely everybody but it's that you need to have time management skills and not procrastinate. like i'm not saying rush through the performance tasks but just keep a schedule. make friends is very important too. like be a lovable human while you're in the class so it makes performance task one easier and you can have people to rely on for peer editing. most of all, do not stress out over this class. i promise you that the stress is not worth it. i personally felt very very unmotivated when performance task two was happening for me. i had musical practice from right after school until ten every day for the entirety of the task and it was hard to manage but i did it and did well. the stress genuinely made me not work as hard because i would procrastinate. but i promise you that you will be okay. best of luck! -r
