It's going to be seriously hard, and you will forget almost everythin you have learned once you get hit, but don't get put off by one session. If you stick with it will get easier and you will get better.
I am not going to get too technical because at this early stage it is not so important, but try to pace yourself, 3 minutes is a really long time. My first sparring session was the longest 3 minutes of my life, I moved a lot and threw quite a lot of punches, and then I looked at the clock and there was only a minute gone and I literally had to gulp for air, it was a horrible feeling. I laid on the ropes and covered up for all of the rest of the round and took a pummelling, I was lucky the guy took it easy.
Hope that helps, I know what I have written might be negative but hopefully it will help prepare you mentally because I didn't really get that. Like I said it gets easier and it becomes reaally enjoyable when you get better.
