Ooh, same problem here!! School + work + husband = unsure NaNo. As far as the workload goes, I think making a schedule and keeping to it will help you focus and keep you from feeling overwhelmed. I don't think it has to be super rigid, just concrete enough to get you in the mindset of "2 hrs class, 1 hr break, 3 hrs of homework, 1 hr of writing, etc. etc."
While having a concept to work with may be helpful to some, maybe in your case you shouldn't stress so much over that particular part of nano. From what I've seen, you don't need to have any kind of background or concept to make it during Nov.
Do you think integrating your current stress issues in November will be helpful in making you feel better? (The moving to college, dealing with school and roommate thing is always interesting because it's always different!) I personally find that fictionalizing my life not only makes it seem more interesting, but it helps to kind of bleed the poison out, so to say. It puts things in perspective, or makes me feel okay for not being objective, and a little bit of stress is gone.

Sorry if I didn't help at all. =/
