Got a new job at a great company, but I'm starting to feel like I bit off way more than I can chew. Any advice for feeling less overwhelmed and more capable?

I'm still pretty young (mid-twenties) and had had the same office job since graduating university about 4-5 years ago. It was at a private company and while financially comfortable and not a difficult job, management was incompetent and the micro-managing was insane, the boss mercurial, and you were never really 'safe'. I wanted to get out.

I ended up SOMEHOW getting a job at a university, coordinating projects and administrative/executive support. I was really excited and happy, especially as my new boss comes from a similar academic background and she seems really excited to have me on board and confident in my abilities.

However, after 3 weeks on the job so far, I'm feeling way in over my head. There are so many things to keep track of, so many things I've never done before but have sort of been tossed into the deep end to coordinate between different departments, and obviously, the stakes are a lot higher. My boss is very nice and extremely competent in her position, and while I know I can ask her questions, I have noticed she will talk a lot, but not actually give a lot of instruction. So I will be given projects, but I'm not really sure exactly how to do them.

I know it takes time to learn new skills and new jobs, but I just can't shake the sense that I've bit off more than I can chew. Does anyone have any tips for getting a leg up?
