I have no freaking clue what I'm doing here. Up until now, I honestly hadn't been thinking too much about school. Then I attended the Department of Computer Science's graduate program orientation, and the Panic began. I came to Champaign thinking about the music scene, not about what I was going to study. Two years of drudgework and four months of slack has turned my brain into tofu.
Classes start tomorrow.
I don't know what I'll be taking. I haven't even talked to an advisor yet. The one advisor whose research interests are even close to mine is the director of the graduate program, so naturally he's the most difficult one to get in touch with. I'm not in trouble yet, but I'm already starting to worry. It's really only a matter of time before someone realizes that I don't know what I'm doing and kick me out of the program.
