Everyone is Lost

Classes have started. I am now a graduate student. And I am very confused. I have changed my course schedule twice because nobody really seems to know what is going on! And I am not alone in this. Another student was even more confused than I was. The professors are late in completing their syllabi, we've just been told what books to order. Classes started yesterday! I thought this was one of the best programs in the country!

I found out that only 4 Masters students were accepted into my program. Holy shit. I wonder what it was about me that got me in? Maybe my cover band/radio broadcasting background? Maybe 'cuz I'm 45 years old? I'm the only one, that I can tell, who doesn't have much classical music training. Or, maybe because my North Carolina professor went to this school? So far, I don't feel especially lucky...a little confused and overwhelmed, for sure.
