This morning I was up bright and early again and at around 9:30, I check my e-mail and see that my manuscript had been accepted for publication! (At least it was a step up from the day before when I saw I had an email from them and promptly hid under the desk in fear...) So then I read the faux-contract through with my best friend to see if I agreed with the terms, and she acted as my translator when I didn't understand all the legalese.
