To start this out:

I am a first year grad student. Yes I am still on livewire, no I am not too old for it.

That being said:

I have a ton of reading to do every week. somewhere between 400 and 6 hundred pages. I wrote down all my assignments that were due this weekend (about 523 pages, with 3 small papers) and got the last of it done yesterday at midnight. I go to class today, weary, but feeling prepared...to find out I missed an entire reading assignment?

how did that happen?

I feel so overwhelmed. I dont know if I can keep reading at this volume...

words of wisdom or comfort?

Think of what you're doing it for and think of all the happiness you will feel walking across that stage with a graduate degree.

it will be worth it, because you will get a better review and more people will hire you. thats when you realize that you could have just not did it and still get the same job. Then you realize you will just die in the end so whats the point

You'll be fine, Carie.

You're still adjusting to the new environment and school so don't be so hard on yourself.

I would just suggest using a planner to make sure you have everything organized and written down so you get everything done. Then you get to CROSS STUFF OFF!!! Which is fun too.

You'll be great. It was one mistake and you're beating yourself up. We all make mistakes occasionally. Just use it to become more determined to get everything done.

Aww, Carie.  It'll be okay, you can do it. If other people have graduated in your field, then of course, you can do this as well.
