Oh SHEET!

I am so sorry that's what happened. US Postal usually does a decent enough job, but it does have its LEGENDARY moments of outright fail, and it's a shame you had to be one of them.

I'm just glad there are still some good opportunities still available (Nickelodeon), and in a place where you can hand-deliver applications, too!

*GLOMPLES YOUUUUU*

Yeah, I was pretty pissed at first, but strangely...I feel happier knowing the mail fucked up instead of outright getting rejected? I mean, at least it wasn't based on my writing ^^

And yesssss gonna try for the next fellowship, and the next...etc...until I get one! Nuthin else to dooo. ;)
