The wrist is still hurting so I'll be brief.

(1) I'm so ecstatic at the idea that it will soon be over that I don't have time to flip out. This might change soon.

Then once you have rearranged said content, you have to give it the right size. I have literally spent hours fitting an 8 pages research plan into 15,000 characters and then again into 1,500 words. I am pretty sure they use stubbornness as a discriminative criterion.
