    How can you get to 3NF if you don't go through 1NF and 2NF first?

    Very easily, you just need to ensure that the non-trivial determinants of every non-key attribute are superkeys.

    Which is fine when you're comfortable with normalisation and know what you're doing. The OP however is just learning it and doing an academic exercise.
