But it was really something quite huge

Today, I did this little thing: I checked the little line next to the sentence that read, "I accept the offer of admission and will begin the program in the Fall of 2009." Then I put that little piece of paper in the envelope that I had addressed and sealed it. I put a newly purchased Forever stamp on the upper right hand corner, and then inserted the feather-weight package in the little mail slot at the downtown Post Office.
