Thanks for the help! It's good to know I was freaking out over nothing

I had those worries when I first started riding. I mean, you put down some good money you want your bike to work well! Your shifting issues are probably just rear derailleur cable stretch (also something I was concerned about at about 250-300 miles)...a few quarter turns with the barrel adjuster will have you sorted right out. Definitely nothing to worry about there.
