I Look Funny
I take terrible pictures. I tend to smile too widely, which makes me look like a coked-up circus clown or an axe murderer who just bought a new griding stone. I spent a good chunk of time yesterday trying to get a decent picture for Harvard’s student directory thing, but eventually I gave up and picked the least terrible one.
So as of this afternoon, my deposit check will be on its way to Boston, along with two pictures of Smiley the Crackhead. Splendid.
On a related note, how screwed will I be when the USPS loses my deposit?

You mean you didn’t send it certified, return-receipt mail? Wow. I mean, you got into Harvard, so I just figured…
(More seriously, I sent my deposit to my school via Priority mail, since I reread my acceptance letter and it indicated my deposit had to BE THERE by April 29, not just be POSTMARKED by April 29. Gasp! But I did not choose certified mail or return receipt or even tracking. Foolish, perhaps. If it gets lost and I lose my place, I’m screwed.)

No worries, man, the brown guys will never let you down.

Well, I was thinking about driving down to the post office to Priority Mail it or something, but then I realized that the deposit doesn’t have to arrive until May 2, so I let the lazy take over, threw a stamp on it, and sent it out normal mail. I generally trust the postal service, so I wasn’t really worried… until now, that is.
I guess it should take 3-4 days max to get from Ohio to Boston. If I don’t hear from the school by Friday, maybe I’ll call them and make sure it got in. Otherwise I guess I’ll be sending another deposit check next-day mail or something.
Or what if I just point them here, as proof I sent it out in time? Hmm.
