They email people who are international applicants. I don't know if that is the case here, but it isn't common.

Apparently I failed to mention to my dad not to look in the mailbox... I about had a heart attack when I found out he got the mail yesterday. My mom said she's going to be really tempted to look and leave the mail in the box so I don't know she looked, but that would make me really upset. This is one of those things you just want to know yourself... am I right? I want to be the one to tell them, not the other way around.

Exactly Polishamrock89, I told them not to EVEN look because I can't stand the thought of them knowing before me. It's always been the same with my report card too.

I wish I could do that with my report card... my school addresses it to my parents, thus they won't let me open it.

But, oh, I can't take this anymore! I'm probably going to end up standing in front of the mailbox for an hour before I get up the courage to open it... only to find out it hasn't come yet, leaving me with another 24 hours of agony. I think they do this on purpose...
