My copy of SICP just came in the mail. What should I keep in mind while working through it? Any specific advice?

FIRST TIME SICP READING RULES
1. Do the exercises or you a scrub.
2. Watch the online lectures at http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/ as you read.
3. Hum Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring while reading.
4. Post on /prog/ if you get stuck: it is a community full of "helpful" and "knowledgeable" people.
5. Read the footnotes.
6. Once you start reading SICP, you cannot masturbate until you finish it.
