<p>results are coming out soon! 1 more day!</p>

<p>wowww when i saw this had a reply, my brain jumped
you trickster youuu</p>

<p>Why all the formatting?</p>

<p>I wonder what time the email will go out tomorrow</p>

<p>Should we expect a letter in the mail too?</p>

<p>I think the letter comes a few days after the email</p>

<p>The formatting makes it easier to read. And allows for a consistency in comparing stats. This is common for most decision threads.</p>

<p>is this how you do it</p>

<p>@HugeManatee yup!</p>

<p>I’m dressing my best for tomorrow. Gonna sport a black vest, black button up, and a plaid skinny tie. I’ll either lament in style or rejoice in style.</p>

<p>Pray to god.</p>
