First of all: congrats on your decision! Now I don't want to sound asinine, but have you thought this through well enough? I mean, from what I read you have two weeks to discover how you're going to make money, build something, and actually make money off of it. That might be a bit ambitious...

Regardless of your decision, keep us posted! Good luck!
