Oh man... I just realized what I've been doing wrong this semester (and school year, for that matter):
Before I went to Switzerland, I had a reasonably hard rule not to take more than one project class, for a rather inclusive definition of "project class" per semester. This allowed me to put as much time as it needed into it. Somehow, in the past year or two, I managed to forget that rule. Both this semester and last semester, I have taken two project classes, even for a demanding definition of a project class. This semester, I even piled research (arguably equivalent to a project class) on top. (... not to mention that my third class this semester would have fit under my permissive definition of project classes...) No wonder things have been so ridiculous, despite feeling like I haven't done work for most of the classes!
