Well, I received a rather small envelope in the mail on Friday from my Senator. I was a little bit worried because I figured that if I got the nomination the letter would be in a business sized envelope (I don't know, I thought that they would give me something informal to let me down easy ). The first word I read was "Congratulations", and I've been absolutely ecstatic ever since. I just have to do the CFA now and my application will be complete, although I'm definitely not looking forward to it - I never think that I'm prepared enough.
