in a somewhat unrelated comment, it’s kind of amusing to me that one gets SAT results in 18 days (exactly) nowadays via computer.

somehow, it seems much less dramatic.

I enjoyed getting the envelope from the testing place, the thick confidentiality of it, the opening of the letter, the corporeality of the letter itself, its thick paper stock.

instead, now, we have a number flickering on a screen. I suppose the latter is more realistic of its actual longterm meaning…
