I'm home today. Woke up and surprised myself by writing an essay for my college applications. I thought that writing this thing was going to be a tedious and torturesome process I'd go through over several weeks sometime in December. A few hours on a sick day in September isn't at all bad, if I do say so myself.

It needs some tweaking, yet. I'm guessing it's around three hundred words in length, maybe under, and I'm not certain that's sufficient. Also, there's this one sentence I just despise with all my being that won't allow itself to be reformed. I'd take it out but I feel the point that it addresses needs to be in there. I want to go through and make sure there's nothing in the tone that could be thought of as sentimental or precious in some way. Don't want to seem like I'm sucking up. And lastly, the spelling and grammar and punctuation and all the rest needs to be looked at.

So, I'll get to all that sometime. Maybe I'll put it up here when it's done. I hope this is the only essay I'll have to write.
