First Class.
Did you know that, for sixty cents, the United States Postal Service will send:
1 Envelope
1 Inner envelope with purple-pink lining
1 Wedding Invitation, bi-fold Chase style 4044
1 Respose Card with envelope
1 Reception Card, bi-fold
1 Quarter-Page directions sheet
1 piece of tissue paper
Also, did you know that until 1950 the United States Postal Service used to deliver mail to homes twice a day, instead of only once?
I bet in 1949, too, you could have actually had them hand-cancel your wedding invitations.

Apocalypse
"Apocalypse" means "Revelation," so I hope that the end of the year (which looks a lot like the end-of-the-world apocalypse) is revelatory in its deciseveness and speed of resolution.
I just finished typing my second "short" research paper for my class on Romantic literature. The paper is on Wordsworth and Coleridge. Not that I mind Wordsworth and Coleridge, but I would have rather written on almost anything else, but really, if you were to look at our syllabus, you would think that that whole period was simply an afterthought or a footnote to Wordsworth.
Now I only have three article-length papers to finish off and a couple books to read, and we'll be done! And we'll be married!
My deeper congratulations to Natalie and Bryan and Chris and Susanne, who finished their comprehensive exams today. My fingers are tired, and I've only been typing since nine a.m. I can't imagine how they feel. Susie typed for three days straight.
I was busy drinking beer and watching a movie with Natalie's husband.
Yet I typed all day today. Hmmm...time management....
