I know that I'm really looking forward to it... where did you go?

Incidentally, the books about the essay aren't all that bad. Or at least, this one isn't. This author writes really well and is actually pretty funny. Despite my dark forebodings, this book in particular is quite entertaining and educational. I'm already getting ideas for what I want to write about, but I'm not sure that picking Douglas Adams as an author who has really inspired you would go over well with the admissions people. We'll have to see.
