Well done for enrolling :-)
It sounds perfectly reasonable to me that full time study AND work might be a bit much.
I know that some people in the US manage to study full time and look after children and work 3 jobs all at once, but not me, I most certainly couldn't do that.
I can't even work part time at the same time as studying full time. Full time study is called full time study for a reason.
I don't think it is unreasonable to tell your uncle that you are going back to university and you need to really focus on that for the time being to make sure you do okay.Typically... A bachelors degree isn't enough to get one much of a job these days. You need some form of grad study / specialist program to get a job that makes use of what you have been learning.
But thats okay.
Maybe you want to pick up a comp sci paper or two? I'd quite like to do a couple of those myself.
With respect to a mentor...
Have you phoned your p-doc yet???
