I have spent far too much of my time in the last 24 hours looking for school mailing addresses to label Teacher Recommendation letters.我已花了太多的時間在過去24小時內找學校郵寄地址標籤,老師推薦信等。 I am in fact only giving one teacher a complete set of stuffed envelopes, since of of my two teacher rec-writers is in the Nicaraguan jungle right now and has hers on file with the College Counseling office.實際上我只是給每名教師制定一套完整的裝進信封,因為對我的兩名教師倫理-作家是在尼加拉瓜叢林中,現在並已對她的檔案與高校諮詢室。

The common app website “共同的亞洲漿紙網站" info page信息頁 ” is full of terrible lies. " ,是充滿可怕的謊言。 I checked for some of my schools and while some matched up with the addresses there, others were quite different.我查了,為我的一些學校和一些匹配與地址,因此,其他人則完全不同了。 As such this page is not to be trusted in my mind so I had to go and find independent confirmation for every address.因此這一頁是不被信賴的 ,在我看來,讓我不得不去尋找獨立的證實,為每一個地址。 This is something that I should have done earlier but it is also something that schools should make simpler.這是我應該做的較早,而且也有一些學校應作更簡單。 I find myself despairing under a tsunami of paper and it’s not even as if I’m printing out any applications (yet)!我發現自己絕望的下一個海嘯的紙張和它的不作為,甚至如果我打印出了任何申請(但) !

You don’t believe me, do you?你不相信我,你呢? Or, if you’ve spent time volunteering for political parties, you are probably scoffing at this sort of envelope stuffing.或者,如果你花時間志願為政黨,你大概scoffing在這樣的信封餡。 Fine.罰款。 I know it isn’t that bad but it’s tedious and frustrating–especially since this is one instance where people should be really trying to help you find their address.我知道這並不很糟糕,但它的繁瑣和令人沮喪的,尤其是因為這是一處人們應該真正想幫助你找到了自己的地址。 Colleges shouldn’t make it a puzzle or riddle just to find out where to mail things.高校不應該使之成為一個謎謎或只是為了找出何處郵寄東西。 I can only imagine the misery anyone disabled might have trying to get this information.我只能想像苦難的人傷殘,可能試圖獲得這方面的資料。 I know not everyone has 15 schools on their list, but this is still ridiculous.我知道不是每個人都擁有15所學校對他們的名單上,但是這仍是荒謬的。 Even half the time I have spent is far too much.甚至有一半時間都花費遠遠太多。 Do I blame the common app?我責怪共同亞洲漿紙? I don’t know.我不知道。 It helped, certainly, for the 10 schools that used that form.它幫助,當然,為10所學校使用那種形式。 A little.一點。 If I were at home the labels would be printed out and we’d just do the postage on the machine, so it would be faster.如果我在家裡的標籤將打印出而且我們非常剛剛做的郵費就機,因此,如果能夠快一點。 Too bad.太差。
Look, an envelope-fan.你看,一個信封範。
