And They All Died!

Well I finished reading King Lear. With ten pages to go it looked like it might actually end happily ever after...but no. All but two of the main characters died in the last five pages of the book. I guess that's why it's called a tragedy.
In other news, I want to send off my last grad application on Friday. The problem is the essay. I have to condense my entire life down into a one-page, hand-written autobiographic essay, without making it sound like a resume. In it I am supposed to express who I really am, my personality, be original yet concise, and convey why I want to go there. That's not really the main thing keeping me from writing it though. The real reason is that this essay is for the school I want to go to. I'm banking my future on some 200 words that I have to come up with.
Que sera sera. It will all be done soon enough, and out of my hands.

Hope y'all had a Merry Christmas and find some trouble to get into for New Years Eve.
