Am I Taking Too Many Summer Classes?

I just finished my freshman year of college, and immedietly after my last final I had to move and then spend the next 5 days helping one of my friend's businesses move, and the only free day I had in all that I packed for a trip. Now I am going out of the country by myself for 6 weeks to a place I don't speak the language and I am feeling really burnt out and exhausted. I think that my trip will help a little bit, but I am also going to be doing farm work and moving from place to place frequently, so while it might be enriching and great I think it will also be a little draining. I get back in July 3rd, and then on July 7th I start summer classes. I will be taking 4 Summer classes in a 5 week session, while working and also trying to see some of my friends that aren't typically in town who will be. The idea of it is really stressful, I don't want to remain as exhausted as I currently am, but I also want to do it all and am aiming to graduate a year early. I have been through the cycle of overbooking myself and then getting extremely burnt out, but my desire to have jobs and academics and social life and travel persists so I think I just want tips on how to be successful despite being really burnt out. And how to approach future pursuits in a more balanced way. Any tips for not failing those 4 classes?
