I was having the exact same problem my first year, even though I wasn't in grad school. I think that everyone does, or at least, almost everyone I know. It is different, not being in school -- you don't live in the same place, your life is completely different, and moreover, you really do realize that this was the thing that you were working towards for 16 years. And that's sort of underwhelming.
It gets better after a year though, for everyone I know. For me, it did as well.
