Overwhelmed

So, my blogs have been pretty positive so far. Well, let's even that out. I am overwhelmed. I am not so sure if it is great to be overwhelmed during the first few days of class or not. In the back of my mind, I know that things will iron out. But, right now, I feel like I am trying to juggle a million things at the same time - 17 grad credits, my TA-ship, the potential AmeriCorps position I want to do (10ish hours/week), wanting to be a SARC advocate (Student Assault Resource Center). Rahhh. I feel good about a few things, which is a positive. I feel comfortable with the campus and with my classes. It is just when all the classes mesh together that I think I am overwhelmed. I feel good about the gym on campus, which I definitely have not utilized as a stress release yet. I feel good about the people I have met and the relationships I have formed, and I know they are all feeling similar right now. I feel good about this city, this university, and the decision I made to come here. I feel good about everything that is around me--the people, the nature, the activities. I feel good about being able to pick up the phone and call home to family or friends, who I know will listen to me blab on and on about how tough it is or how fun it is (depending on the day). So, I guess I should be looking up. I hope by the end of the first two weeks of school, it will all come into place. And I know that I just put absolutely too much pressure on myself to do everything at one time and to be perfect and to understand everything and to excel. Maybe I should stop. But on the other hand, I think this is what drives me to succeed. But how do I know when I'm putting too much pressure on myself? Well, I will try to stay sane, but in the meantime...there is reading to do, applications to fill out, schedules to make, and letters to write. I hope you all are great! Well, thanks guys for listening.
