I'd ask why my essay won't just write itself, but it kind of practically is.
Went out to get bagels for breakfast at 7AM in summer pyjamas and a jean jacket despite it being zero degrees out because presumably that is how I roll. Why am I up at 7AM? FINISHING AN ESSAY, OF COURSE. It's due in like four hours and it's still not done, yay me, but to be fair I could probably write an essay on Romeo and Juliet in my sleeeeeeppp... This is my second essay on Juliet's side of the balcony scene in the last eight days FFFFFFFFFFFF I DON'T EVEN REALLY LIKE THIS PLAY. (Actually I like the language side of things which is why I chose it for my 'Shakespeare the Poet' essay, but still.)
While I'm consistantly a poor judge of the content of my essays, I think it's safe to say at least the lingo of this one reads slick as hell. I guess that is what happens when I spend the hours prior to writing perusing the Oxford English Dictionary. (btw apparently 'ay' means 'ever'? I may never use the word 'ever' again.)
The lady at Great Canadian Bagel now recognizes me on sight and knows my usual order. Undecided as to whether this is a good or bad thing.
ETA: Essay done, though I hope "no more than 750 words" does not mean "I will be doing a word count". 776 is close, right? Uh, plus four appendices, some annotated by hand, and a 'works cited' page. It's a weird assignment, what can I say. (And I was finished the essay by the time I realized how dumb writing an essay on literary devices in a scene almost devoid of literary devices was. I had a lot to say about their absence! And a little enjambment goes a long way!) Right, time for a pre-class nap.
