Updating to say that this morning I got an email from the person assigned as my advisor, introducing herself. Woohoo!
In case any other new TESU students are confused by making changes to their enrollment, and put off by the slightly condescending responses from some on this forum that make you feel like an incompetent moron - don't stress! You need to wait for that first contact from your TESU adviser (in my case, it was over 3 months after I was first accepted). The email will be titled something like 'TESU INFO: Welcome from your academic advisor'.
Just remember that it's easy for those who have been through the whole process to look back and say 'no, it's super obvious and you should know this stuff already, because I do', and don't get disheartened! If someone says 'in every email correspondence with TESU, they tell you to email advising' and you have no idea what they're talking about - there's not something wrong with you. Stick with it, and have faith that there isn't anything wrong with you, and don't ever think you're not capable of going to university! Don't let the know-it-alls get you down!
I was so tempted to cancel my TESU enrollment after first posting here and seeing some of the responses, and I am so glad I didn't. :-)
