Here's the mail, it never fails. It makes me want to wag my tail. When it comes, I wanna wail, MAIL!

Today was SUPER MAIL DAY! because I got a letter AND a package. I feel so spoiled.

The letter was from Sumi, and it was on the most beautiful stationary. And the back of the envelope has this tiny little mustache. Heck yes! Personally, I think handwritten letters are the best, but until such time as I can pluck up the courage to go in and screw up in the post office, my digital post cards are just going to have to do. Thanks, Summer! It's gorgeous! And I'm excited at the prospect of getting to meet up with her somewhere. Europe rocks, just sayin'.




Why won't it let me put these next to each other?!?!




To pick up packages, I have to show an ID, and while I await my residence permit (and since I'm not sure my driver's license counts here), I bring my passport with me. I sign the form so the lady can go get the box, yada yada yada, and while she's checking that the number on the box matches my slip, and my name matches that on the slip and the box, etc. I see the return address label: Megan. Ermagherd, mer berst frend sernt mer er perkerge! Now, this lady is taking her time (in comparison to the last package), and I'm getting all excited. True, customs forms take some of the surprise out of packages, but hey. Once I have the package, of course I'm doing the selfie thing.

 (While simultaneously trying to plug back into my audiobook for the walk back.) And I'm actually grinning like an idiot because I'm super stoked to see what's in the box. You ready to see what's in the box? Turns out, not just from Megan, but the ME-MC-AW-SAH crew (though, clearly without the SAH...)




Better question is what isn't in the box. Food, chocolate, puns, packing peanuts with real attitude action.
The box
The contents


"Tests may make you say Ghirrrr...."
"But you can always crawl into bed!" I'm going to have to use
Katja/Anna's oven.
"What's the scoop in Estonia?" It finally froze? But still no frost/snow.
(And the chips were totally crushed, but I ate them anyway.)
"We know this is a bit cheezy, but..." And that's about all the
cheese in that cheese dip, "a bit."
"They're not for poker, but we hope you like these chips!"
They won't be the same without my ME-MC-AW here.
"These puns be funny, you'll be Roloing on the floor!" I'd just
eaten my last Rolos a couple days ago.
"After all this food, you may be "double stufed"." I can get
Oreos here, and whenever I do, I think of Pat. I just had some
Oreo chocolate that was AWESOME!



"Before you know it, you'll be back home in a JIF." Apparently,
this is the most desired food of American students abroad. Can't
say that I've had cravings, but I might have some now!
"We hope you like what we've krafted together!" I do. It's brilliant.
You're brilliant. I have the best friends.
And of course they drew on the peanuts. I think the monocle is
my favourite, though Bowties are Cool. 
The Great Wall of Puns. Right next to my
AK Fudge box from my gramma.



Though seriously people, shipping is expensive.

On a completely unrelated point, I was going to write something about the Human Foosball tournament I was in last weekend for Tartu's Student Days, but I couldn't figure out a whole posts worth of things to say. There are pictures up in the gallery though, so check those out!
