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?

More advice you don't need...

If it were me, I'd probably make the decision based upon the understanding of the professors when they wrote them. If they knew you might be able to read them, I'd say have fun being nosy. If they wrote them thinking they were to be sealed and only for the eyes of the scholarship people, then I'd repay their kindness in doing you the favor by respecting the privacy they believed they had when they wrote the letters.

Heheh. Now how to figure if they knew I'd read them without sounding like I'm thinking about reading them... ;) Maybe I'll just ask for copies.
