Day 5 > I'm thankful for The post office!
I went to the post office a couple days ago (which was actually day 5) and I finished putting the book into the package. I peeled the sticker off and closed the package tightly. When I gave the postal man my package, he asked as usual, if I wanted to do express shipping or first class, etc. I then stated, "um, the cheapest one?" Because to be honest, I always get confused at what exactly each one means! So I asked the post man why the cheapest one is called first class because when I think of first class, I think of rich old men leaning back in a spacious airplane with a glass of Gin in their hand. The expensive version of something. He then enlightened me on the history of the postal service and how they only used to have parcel service or first class service. The first class didn't mean "higher end," it means it was the FIRST mail service to go door to door. So it's the lowest type of delivery, but it was the first one back in the day. It was a pretty cool fact for the day : )
I would hate to lose the post office for emails and stupid things like that. Technology, eww.
Writing hand written letters are the best.
