Last night marked the last elements that I will be shipping off to the schools that I am applying to. It was a momentous occasion with fanfare and trumpets. Actually, it was just what I wanted; my wife with me on a little couples errand, then we went to Rite Aid to get some sodas to celebrate and because my throat has been scruffy lately.
Some institutions wanted everything sent in one packet, letters, everything. I had a professor write letters, four of them, and send them back to in the mail with SASEs. He put two into each and mailed them both. I got one of the pairs last week early and those went into the packets. Yesterday came the second pair, postmarked Jan5th, and arriving to my mail box the 16th...
So that is why yesterday marked the last of the shipping elements, and I am sure everyone knows that overnighting packages is not cheap. Immensely cool that they can get it there, across country, that fast, but not cheap.
