Many of the things you write here I've had experience with too (struggling with being okay with any sort of ambiguity or uncertainty, when things go awry, facing change and new situations, etc), and I think it's great you can identify them. And you don't necessarily have to change all of it - these are quirks that make you you, as long as they don't impinge on your well-being. We can both work on these things together! Ganbatte! I'm really proud of you too for taking on all this coursework and volunteering in labs and actively taking steps to ensure that you'll reach your goals.
Stress is something that just really keeps adding up. I've been dealing with a lot of stress lately and I'm working towards getting better at handle it. I think a good thing could be to be very, very strict when it comes to study hours. Even if you feel like things are just adding up, you need to make yourself rest sometimes, because otherwise the stress will just add up and then you can't be productive.
I understand why you decided to go on a diet, but you do need to eat more when you're working as hard as you are, especially with all the mental fatigue you're definitely going to endure what with the English proficiency test and the driving classes in addition to uni in general. So... think about it.
Change is always hard and always scary, so thinking (or overthinking it) doesn't mean you fail; it's natural. In fact, you're doing a lot more than you're giving yourself credit for, what with the coursework, the labs and everything else. And if you feel you're getting mentally exhausted, give yourself a break. You don't have to do everything - you're only obligated to yourself. So stop and take a breath. Ganbatte!
And, as always, I'm just a text/email/IM away, so if you ever want to talk... ilu ireface ♥
Beside teh pshycological insecurities tha need to be ignored, everyone at first has to get used to the enviromente and the work, so you can't pretend to be able to know everything on the first try. You're most definitely smart and capable, and your collegues are nice persons, so I really think you just have to ignore that feeling of just being useless. Which is a no brainer I know, but you never say some things ebough. You have to stop worrying about being a bother, especially because you try hard at what you do, and the opportunity that were given to you are all deserved. Do your best and ignore your silly mind ♥
Taking care of yourself is always good and I'm glad you decide to put a goal to reach that is not too far since you're already on the right range for your height.
