Bat MItzvah problems.
My Bat Mitzvah is in October and I'm JUST starting to learn my haftroah. In my hebrew school, it is belived that women don't need to read from the torah. I can read as much hebrew as I please. I have like no time to learn about 8 lines of hebrew!! I'm getting very stressed out and I'm trying very hard to learn the hebrew but my nerves keep me from doing so!! Does anyone have any suggestions to calm me down and learn the part??!!

Post the lines where you'll see them often. Just seeing something a lot will help. Set aside a couple times a day to read the lines. Perhaps when you get up and before you go to bed. Speak the words out loud. Our brains remember things we hear better than things we read.
Good luck!

The secret to memorization, of course, is repetition, repetition, repetition. :D
If all eight lines are too many at once, start with just one or two. Say them over and over, WAY past the point when you've got them down cold. Normally you'll eventually reach a point where you start making mistakes again. Keep repeating, and once you get past that point, you'll pretty much have burned them into your memory.
That should last for at least five years.
Print out a copy and have it with you at all times. In the bathroom, on the bus, wherever and whenever you have a spare second or two, PRACTICE!
As for relaxation techniques...here are a few links. I can testify to the effectiveness of three deep, slow, cleansing breaths. That ALONE will calm you noticably. After that, try tensing and then relaxing specific areas, moving upward from your feet all the way to your scalp. If you practice that every night in bed (or more often), you'll have it down to a habit in a month.

if u have to read 8 lines then split them up....one day you will learn 1 line and memorize it...the next day u will learn the 2nd line and just review the first line...and so on
