1. Eh, then you find another way to be all peaceful and lovely and stuff.
2. It's an awesome opportunity. :)
Ack, yay! Will they contact within the year, or do you think it might not be for a long time until you hear?
Hopefully Khan's assessment is right. However, I won't be able to commit for a while. I need to get grad school applications turned over and I won't get answers from them until April or May.

Two thoughts on the matter:
1. Oh, God, what if they don't accept me? I'm going to feel like a fool!
2. Oh, God, what if they DO accept me?
