    I think with mine it only took a week or two. I also had three last names to contend with. LOL The results should automatically be sent to the SON, too, so that the coordinator will be able to get...

    I am not much of a breakfast person, so would pack a bunch of snacks and eat them during breaks. I would wake up early, though, just to get my brain started and make sure I had everything for the day....
