I know exactly how you feel. My program is 15 months long when most are double or even triple the amount of time. They crammed all this information into a short period of time. We are expected to read so many chapters before lecture its almost impossible to accomplish. Very overwhelming and very discouraging. But like everyone is saying, you have to stay on top of it or else you will get so behind you wont able to recover. I was never a good student so all this is really a huge shock to me. I had to learn how to prioritize my life and how to manage my time wisely. Even then i felt as if there wasn't enough time. Keep your self goal oriented. Make sure you reward yourself to a job well done. So that you don't become discouraged. Best of luck to everyone. See you in the field maybe - Daniel :D
