School Stress

stormdogI'm having such a hard time here. I just want to do anything else other than work on schoolwork. I'm feeling a stress-induced tightness in my chest this morning as I think about all the things I need to keep doing on a weekly basis. I don't know where to find time to start working on the term papers I'll need to have done.
I hope by the end of my first semester, I'll be feeling better about all this. Two years of this would be misery. I want to keep going with what I'm doing and get this degree. I think it's the right thing for me to do. But based exclusively on my feelings so far (and recognizing that it's only a very small sample of this experience), there's no chance I would choose to pursue a doctorate after this.
Gotta relax. Gotta get more organized. Gotta stop trying to find ways (like writing about them instead of working on them) of not dealing with things.
