HELP! how do I do cavity prep in maxillary molars?

Okay this might be very silly, but I'm a second year dental student struggling with this. I can barely see anything back there, then there's airotor water and foggy mirror and what not. And it looks so different inside the phantom head and when I take it out.

So I kept telling myself that I'll learn over time till my last practical, i got told that my work is the worst, and how is it even possible to make a cavity this bad and A LOT of other stuff. I ended up crying in class itself (not relevant, I just needed to tell it somewhere, it's affecting me a lot since I'm decent at mandibular teeth)

Anyways, i do wish to learn get better at it, but now I'm scared of even working on maxillary molars and I'll be cooked if they give one of those teeth for exam.

So please, professionals, help me out. How do I get better at this?

Would anyone like to start reading a book with me?

I've always wanted to start reading a book with someone, and then discuss it as it progresses. And I haven't been reading consistently so maybe this will get me back into the habit. And I'll also get to know about newer authors I don't know about.

So if you're interested, please let me know!
