<p>do the big envelopes come in regular mail too?</p>

<p>Rejected :(</p>

<p>I'm ok with this...I had no expectations for ND anyway. </p>

<p>I believe we end up where we're supposed to be, even if it doesn't seem that way at first. I guess ND just wasn't for me.</p>

<p>And hey, at least now I don't have to buy any thermal underwear, right?</p>

The website is <a href="http://www.nd.edu/%7Emnadorff/transfer%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.nd.edu/~mnadorff/transfer&lt;/a>, though I will have to shift it over soon when I graduate. I also have my email on there so you can email me if you would like.</p>
