Mail, or Universal Karma (Updated)

Many of you know that I had some hiccups with the US mail recently — I was expecting a letter in the mail and it never arrived. I spoke to someone on Friday who promised to resend the letter, this time over UPS with 2-day shipping. So I call home today expecting to hear that my package had arrived, and my parents inform me that not only do I have a letter delivered by UPS, but I also have a very similar package from regular US mail. The contents? My original letter, dated March 1.

Classic.

Oh well. I can’t complain too much. I got into NYU — twice.

Update:

So I lied. I went home yesterday and looked the mail myself. The UPS letter, which my parents opened for me, had a copy of the original letter (with a giant COPY stamp on it). The other letter was a different mailing that happened to arrive on the same day. Still. Odd coincidence, but not as good of a story.

    Hey Arun,

    Good to hear from you! Thanks! Yeah, NYU is near the top of my list, but I’m still playing the waiting game now, so we’ll see.
