Dont worry. My first time out a few years ago, I spun my car and almost backed over the timing gates. You'll find your times are better if you just take it easy and think out all your movements ahead of time than if you just go wild.
And as for the screeching tires... I dunno about you guys, but every driver I've ever seen abusing his tires (making a lot of noise) has gotten chit times. I dunno what kind of tires are *supposed* to be squealing, but in my experience, a screeching tire is a sliding tire.
