It's a conspiracy

The USPS doesn't want me to go back to school. I've mailed reference letters out three times, yes, three times and finally after express mailing them they have been received. My transcripts were sent out Aug. 19 and 21 and they still haven't reached University of Maryland. I've applied for financial aid but my application can't process until the school has officially accepted me. I can't be officially accepted until all my paperwork is complete (reference letters and transcripts). I've called and called and called and all I can do now is wait. I was told by the financial aid office that my application will be closed down if the paperwork isn't received ASAP. Well, what else do they want me to do? I can't make the paperwork get to the school any faster. Now I'm worried that it's going to take forever for my reference letters to get to the school once they are mailed. I was planning on starting in October but now I guess I'll have to wait until January. Stupid post office.
