Can we do it?

I formally applied to ASU for orbits during January. Here is the reply. "Just wanted to let you know that I did get your MSIP application. I'm glad you'll have at least 16 students participating. I will give you and your students a good date to submit their proposal so we can make sure they can target in early January. I am thinking that perhaps if we get their proposals before Christmas break or right after Christmas break we can work on targeting soon after that.Do you think it would be possible to have proposals before Christmas break? Looking forward to see what your hs students chose to do and how they do. Looking forward to also having you out in Houston! I will confirm those dates hopefully by next week."

So . . . can we get the whole proposal written before the winter break? There's the challenge.
