A question in need of answers

[threeplusfire]

So I'm using my journal in a weirdly public way. But what the hell... I'm torn at the moment.

If you had two recommendation letters from your all-time best professors sitting in sealed envelopes on your bookshelf, and the person in charge of the scholarship said you could open them and read them, would you?

Just to be devil's advocate I would say not to read it now. It might be interesting to make copies without looking and read them much later. But it seems as though some of the magic would be taken out of them if you read them before the scholarship people.

what an idea

Now that is tempting. Get someone to make copies and then read them on the plane or something, after I've mailed off the scholarship stuff.
