Well, randori is not my strong point so my advice isn't mostly technical advice. My advice would be to accept the fact that it may feel kind of insane and try not to let the insanity unsettle you or freak you out more than necessary. It's normal that at higher speed and intensity and unplanned, you don't really have time to think and that you can kind of find out what's in your muscle memory (and it sounds like you did pretty well for so few months, to me). IMHO, I would concentrate on basics like tenkan-ing out of the way, getting behind them if you can, etc, and just do your best.

I.e., see if you can use it as an opportunity to practice being more calm under pressure.
