Overview
Reach out to coworkers or fellow students and ask them for their thoughts on your current situation. They'll be flattered you asked, and they'll be prepared with answers. You've got a good idea about what to do next, but it will be helpful to get confirmation. Once you do, your stress level will drop and your energy will be free to focus on getting the job done. Look for a huge rise in your reputation -- more people in powerful positions want to see what you're all about.
