You will be behind the plane at first, no doubt about it- everybody is. Practice the call-outs and flows until you can do them in your sleep. Do them with your SIM partner while the TV is blaring and you are tossing a ball back land forth- use distractions.
Do the homework, feed yourself, and then get together with your classmates for group study. This will help immensely and the instructors will take notice too, so if you're struggling with anything they know it's not from lack of effort.
Good luck
