Well, it should be like that at a beginner's level. When I started moving into classical pieces from the beginners' books (it was pretty early, since my parents had taught me classical piano [through observation, not reading notes] before I began lessons), I had to look at the music then the piano to play the notes, and would always have to do it one hand at a time, then eventually playing them together.

All I can say here is practice. I was quite dreadful at sight-reading until a couple years after beginning piano, and it's mostly getting used to where the keys are, hand position, and just knowing how to play that helps you play the notes, while learning to read notes more quickly, memorising where notes fall without having to see the piano as a reference, etc. that makes you play it more smoothly.
My advice is to just give it time, and every now and then, pick up a random sheet of music and try playing it.

Is it a easier transcription?
Most (read: Josh Agarrado's) sheets have some awkward left hand movement covering three octaves or so.
Of course, everyone has to play Hoshizora no Waltz, though, so you should add some part of it into your medley.
EDIT: JA just added a TV Size sheet for
True Tears' Reflectia. It sounds quite nice, and it shouldn't be too difficult if you just take the main section. It may be a bit fast for you, but it's a lot easier than it sounds.
Oh, and I'll second Hoshizora and Dear You.
