░░░░▒▒░▒▒░░░░░░Hello everyone :slight_smile:
To submit or not to submit?</p>

<p>Oh that’s a relief. My essays seem to be of an average length, but I guess as long as the readers find them engaging, I will be good. I hope the website will be fixed by tomorrow my recommender and nominator still need to submit their stuff.</p>

<p>Thanks Burrito!! I thought we were expected to use all 7800 characters, so that’s why I wrote so much, but I still could stretch almost any of them into the 7000 range. That’s too many letters. Lol</p>

<p>That’s cool Burrito!! Submit!! It’s scary, but a relief!!</p>
