a bit of venting

Is it normal to be stressed that 4 days before my university career begins, I still don't know who my violin teacher is going to be???????

Nothing could be more normal.

I didn't know what units I would be taking until about 2 weeks into semester.

It's entirely normal and it's really quite memorable later when you look back. To be otherwise means you are not really serious about university, I think. You are starting something really important in your life. Be worried, be stressed out and let all these fuss be your best motivators.
