I would like to try to help, but I have a few issues:
- You NEED paragraph breaks. It's so hard to read a wall of text.
- Please edit. I got through your first half but just don't want to attempt part B.
- If you need two posts to ask your question, you're not going to get lots of good answers. Could you please narrow down your question to a few sentences? We don't need all the gory details. From your first half, I get it: you're smart. So now what?
