Hi, CrazedAmbition: Somewhere out there, there is an average Nobel Laureate. There are even below-average Nobel Laureates (well above me, I hasten to add)! I don’t think any of them really mind. At some time, you will eventually reach such a rarefied level that you will be average–maybe not this coming year, but eventually. It’s ok. Do your best, and don’t worry about it.

As far as practical advice goes, I suggest that you attend all of the lectures, and be attentive to the sub-texts, as well as the surface material. Don’t be afraid to see the TF’s during office hours. Same goes for the professors.
