I just wanted to say that there is a guy and he has a Veggie Tales backpack, and it's hot purple, and it is the greatest thing I have ever seen. And every time I see him I just want to be like, "You're the most awesome person at this whole school out of, like, thousands of people." And every girl I know thinks he's really hot, so he's a lucky guy. Okay, bye.

I'm calling to complain about the hours of the Newcomb Hall post office. I find it absurd that the office only is open from the hours of 10-3:30 every day. At the very least, if students only have a five hour window in which to buy stamps and send packages, the post office should open on time, but it does not. I waited in line with about 15 other students last week until 10:15 for the window to open. And they take time out for lunch, which no post office should do. One day I wanted to send something by next-day air, which you have to do by 1. But when I got to the post office, with like 20 minutes to spare, they were all at lunch, and by the time they got back it was after 1 and they said I couldn't send my package next-day -- but it wasn't my fault, it was theirs! I appreciate the convenience of having a post office in Newcomb, but I would appreciate it even more if it was full-service.
