Today was my first real day of school, and I already feel overwhelmed.
We were given two projects, with due dates of March 27; once the material was presented, we were given lab time to work on them.
I felt completely lost.
This feeling was compounded by observing many of the other students finding their resources easily; one student even completed the first (and more involved) project with time to spare in the first class.
I realize that it's my first day, and that many of the people in the class have been there since last August, but that knowledge really didn't do much to assuage my feelings of failure and worthlessness. I used to pride myself on my intelligence, but I'm being served a mighty big helping of humble pie today, and to be honest, it tastes kind of bitter.
Not at all what I was hoping for.

Ask for further directions when you feel lost. Sometimes teachers/instructors need a reminder that people can have different starting lines. You ARE intelligent. You HAVE worth. You CAN do this and do it well. Just breathe and make a start.
