Congratulations! I'm in my fourth week and I can assure you that it will become less overwhelming soon. I had 4 chapters to read my first night and it totally freaked me out. I couldn't believe it! But now, I'm into the swing of things and getting it all done with time to spare. My advice would be to get a good planner and use it. My entire life is in mine now! I also keep a white board in my room with all the assignments and readings for the week, organized by class. I have a "life tasks" column too and it really helps me to get everything done. I never feel like I'm forgetting anything. Another piece of advice would be to take time for yourself. My program can be so stressful it's totally exhausting. My first week in school, I let myself get totally stressed out. Now I've been giving myself solid study breaks and keeping fun and friends in the mix. I think that I would definitely go crazy if I didn't! Good luck!
