I understand your concern, but I don't think it's a problem. I'm not really trying to cram all the techniques into my mind as fast as I can.
I wouldn't think of it as cramming techniques into your head. Rather, by studying out of a book, you're not receiving proper feedback on what you're learning and, therefore, probably picking up bad habits that you may not notice nor understand. Training with a qualified instructor will head off any of these bad habits from embedding itself into your body. Some of these habits might even be dangerous...

I get to start taking Aikido in 2-3 months (at this point it's looking like 3).
If you're really serious about doing aikido, then waiting three months is nothing if you think about doing it for the rest of your life.
