I think my head is going to burst

I finished (well, at least skimmed through) all the readings I'm supposed to do for tomorrow (no, today)'s class. This is the first time I've finished my readings for any class this semester.
I don't think I've ever had so much going on at the same time before. This semester, I have classes, LSAT (D-20, oh my!), law school applications (which involves writing a personal statement -- a completely different story from SOPs, rewriting my resume, running around to get letters of recommendation from several 'grown-ups', and running to the post office to mail them), and an internship (two days a week). Ever since classes started I feel like I haven't had time to catch my breath. I've been going to bed at 3 or 4 am every day and I haven't been getting much done. This is the first time I've done any full-time work (albeit for only two days per week) DURING the semester, and I had no idea how time-consuming and attention-consuming it would be. I wish I did this internship last semester, or even better, the semester before that. But oh well, hindsight is always 20/20, they say.
Anyways, the point is that the stress is really building up and it won't be alleviated until LSAT is out of the way and I get my hands on the applications. I'm planning to rewrite my resume and finish writing my personal statement this week. By next week, I should finish revising them, and be done asking for LORs. By October 15th, I should have sent all the LORs, and BE COMPLETELY DONE with applications. Everyone told me to start early... now the consequences of having wasted the entire summer wishing all this work to go away is paying me back. Ugh. 괜찮아 괜찮아 I will grin and bear it. 죽지 않아!!!

Now I need to write that response paper before the sun rises...
