Three difficult months ahead!

I just downloaded all the reading materials today for the forthcoming assignment, and precourse reading... Believe it or not, I measured after printing. It is exactly 6 inches thick (15cm)!!! I have about two weeks to at least browsed through quickly because I should finalize one article for submission to fulfil last week's course assignment (about 20 pages), then I should write reflection summary (2 pages per article) for total of 60 articles! These must be accomplished by end of May! How on earth am I going to finish with my slow reading speed (very slow because I would like to enjoy and understand what I read, and think about how the contents could be applied to my research.) It felt like a mission impossible. Tonight, I started with the first one, 20 pages.. after 1 hour, I am not even half way through. There are many good references, which I checked out in the interent, and that led to more useful and interesting references... and I can go on this way for ages! How I wish I can get some useful, effective tips from another academia who has been through this path before. Please... God send me someone who can shed some lights, and help me go through this painful process, a little painless!
