Good luck with all of that. Your school sounds way more intensive than mine was. I have an associates. We didn't have to do a research paper. Our focus was lecture for 4 hours 3-4 days a week, one lab each week, clinicals were one then later two days a week. We were a very clinical intensive school and I think that payed off. We have one of the best programs in the state.

Good luck with everything. You will make it. You want it to badly not to..
