decisions decisions

i am about to go nuts. i just realized today that my photography exhibit needs to go up in less than a month and i haven't even officially started printing them. how on earth am i going to finish printing, matting, framing, and hanging my photographs for my exhibit in less than a month? and that doesn't include designing publicity and having that printed and sent off and planning the deserts or whatever it is that im going to have at the opening and scanning the images into my computer so i can send digital images to the provost to have them approved. i began printing some of my images out 16x20 this week. some of them are look like crap, so im gonna have to arrange it so that there are some 11x14's and 16x20's. that doesn't include decisions like matte or glossy? warm tone or regular? filter or no filter? to burn or dodge? 3 or 4 inch mattes? brown or black frames? what color matte? cut my own mattes or send away for pre-cut? which images do i use, which should i forget about? if i don't want to crop the image of a 35mm print that means it needs to be 13x20, and then that means the matte and frames sizes will be off, forcing me to cut my own. aaaah.
