<p>A friend of mine said her friend got her deferral in TX today… so it’s kinda crazy.</p>
<p>anyone in MA? I hope I get it today!</p>
<p>California!! AHH. The least likely place to get mail today, esp with all these holiday season mails going on. . . . .
I AM DYING TO KNOW</p>
<p>ahhhhhhhh in TX?! =/
The fact that I’m not going to be accepted doesn’t bother me because I’m not expecting it.
It’s just the fact that I’ve never really been rejected [deferred you know what I mean] in my life, and I don’t know how that will feel.</p>
<p>lol ima loserrrr =)</p>
<p>Well, I have a report from Poughkeepsie New York. No letters today. I really hope this doesn’t just mean first class mail is slower than priority mail, because that was the case here last year in Poughkeepsie.</p>
