Dear Williams College Registrar

[kimberkit]

Over the years, dear Williams College Registrar, I have applied to a crapload of schools, and you haven't charged me for any of the transcripts you've sent. All this edumacating may have melted my brain, so I apologize for the goofy manner in which I sent you a fax entitled: Transcript request pretty please, and I really appreciate it even though I apply to too many schools.

In any case: Williams, I know I've cost you lots of money in asking for like 30 transcripts (especially those two years when I applied for a bazillion teaching schools and programs), and this year, I was going to actually donate money back to the college when Neil did.

But then I spent that money on sock yarn.

I would make you a pair of socks, Angela-at-the-Registrar's-office, but I don't know your measurements.

I would make you a hat, because Williams is a very cold place and everyone needs hats there (and hats do not require much measurement), but this will have to wait, because now I have no money for anything but socks. And applications.

Williams' free transcripts are SO NICE. York's cost me upwards of $60 this year.

I know! I tried not to think of what things would be like if they charged me $5/transcript like another school might.

They are not only the only school I've dealt with that doesn't charge (two study abroad transcripts were expensive, when applying to grad schools!), they're also really really helpful and non-bureaucratic about it when you're in a crunch, like when a school lost my copy and they agreed to immediately send out a non-official electronic copy from an official email address as a compromise.

And I guess by "they," I mean "she." And that is the root of the awesomeness.

I know! I swear I'm making her a hat with a thank you note attached. Um. As soon as I get over not having any money.

sending her a copy of your lj message would surely bring a smile to her face in the interim.

I will send her a variant with the hat ;) I am not sure anyone likes being told "this is what you would have gotten if I weren't such an irresponsible spender..."
