I'm not much of a GTD person, at least not as far as all the core principles go. I guess I follow them in some way, but I've never read any book or blog post and went and restructured how I'm organized.
What I do:
I personally use Things.app with a dozen or so various "Projects". Each Project in Things is its own areas; a particular class I'm in or something that I'm hacking on.
When something that I need to do for any of these Projects comes up, it goes right into Things. If I'm in class, I'll add it to my iPod and then sync up with my computer later that day. I add an artificial deadline to complete the task, if there isn't a real deadline.
What my roommate does:
My roommmate has another, simpler approach that I like: He just has a giant pad hanging on his door and writes down what he needs to do on there. So he sees it whenever he leaves his room as a reminder.
When he finishes something, it puts a giant X over the item. He doesn't have dates written down, but tries to have everything he has written down finished by the end whatever the time period is when he removed the page.
However, you're not me or my roommate. So, here's some other things to look into: OmniFocus, TheHitList, Anxiety (http://www.anxietyapp.com), TaskPaper (http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/taskpaper) and a bunch of other very nicely done apps whos name escapes me at the moment to look into, if you want a program to help you manage things. And of course, theres always non-electronic things (datebook, moleskine/generic notebook, post-its, etc) that you could use if it helps you work.
