Okay, here we go:
Rule #1: You can do it.
Rule #2: Refer to Rule #1.
I did not enjoy physics when I took it in my earlier incarnation as an engineering major--until we got to the labs. Am now enjoying it a great deal now that my 14yo is taking it in school; we talk about it a LOT.
See the movie October Sky. Remember that it's not brain surgery, it's just rocket science. And refer to Rule #1. Physics is like math. My way of "learning" math was to follow the procedure for solving the problems (and get the right answers), the why will sink in later. And it usually does.
Good luck!
