VG/VG/E/G/G/G Senior undergrad, not awarded. The reviewers had lots of nice things to say about my accomplishments and promises of future success. Congrats to everyone- it's been great chatting with you!

If it isn't announced this week, I may dissolve into a puddle of stress. The deadline for the graduate program that I applied to was March 15th (they don't look at applications until then) and they should make a decision any day now. Not knowing about the grad program or NSF is killing me. SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY

Not quite the maintenance we were hoping for...
