My Take On It.

I don't "send" anything when I can hand carry it. If I do have to send it, I get a signature from them that they got it. I kiss ass until my lips are brown. If you get pissy with anyone you want something from, they'll screw you.

The voice of harsh experience.

Hand Carry

Doing so from Kansas City, Missouri -- where I was -- or from Port Huron, Michigan -- where I am -- to Clinton, Iowa, is not exactly feasible. You don't get to request that your financial aid office sign for your paperwork, they'll just send it back to the Post Office.
