I also might not be much help, but that's never stopped me from commenting.
I second the lists thing - I never estimated the time, but I was big on lists. Very broken down lists. So - depending on how hectic it was - I would have "take shower", "eat lunch", Read Chapter 2 - public policy, chapter 3 - PP, chapter 9 - Air management.
Also - and this is bad attitude girl talking (I got about three weeks into my major in grad school and realized I'd made a gigantic mistake...but I had a scholarship and it beat unemployment). Some things can slide. Look at grading. Figure out which classes you really have to do the reading for (and you really *want* to do the reading for). If the class isn't a discussion, you might be able to do only half the reading first. Heck, if you just have to write a paper, you might be able to never do the reading. (I am slightly ashamed to admit it, but I did basically no reading for any of the classes in my official major. Because it was *boring* and the classes sucked.)
