hey Mr. Postman

I know everyone has been through this: waiting for that elusive piece of mail that seems content to take its sweet time travelling. I just wish that Mr. Postman would bring me some good news soon. I know intellectually that he is 'just the messenger', and the decision is with the schools, but still, he is the one I can see coming by at 1pm everyday. Think I can bribe him with something? A new courier bag, perhaps? COME ON! I don't want to wait anymore.
