I'm having a mental picture of General Washington's officers wandering confusedly around Paris, trying to figure out where their troops are.<br /><br />No, you never told me about your college essay. I love the creativity! I'm guessing the admissions committee appreciated reading something different. And you'd get the mystery readers' votes!Sister Mary Murderoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13721665989818474295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-14653628597644024432015-02-02T15:32:57.167-05:002015-02-02T15:32:57.167-05:00Oh boy.

By the time I picked it up from the library I'd forgotten which book I had requested so I spent a few pages thoroughly confused as I'd incorrectly remembered that it was supposed to be about General Washington's officers during the revolutionary war. You'll be glad to know that my dad laughed at me when I admitted my mistake....<br />And did I ever mention to you that I submitted my essay portion of the U of C application as an epistolary? I wrote a case file from the Witness Protection Program on the whereabouts of Elvis, using a random sampling of words that had to be included in the essay. It was fun.Lindsaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-76452809122820789552015-01-04T21:41:22.072-05:002015-01-04T21:41:22.072-05:00Oh, and like you, I adore the "Bryant and May...Oh, and like you, I adore the "Bryant and May" series.

I really enjoyed "Crocodile", for instance, and hope her other books are published in English. And I concur on your opinion of "Fatherland".phoebes in santa fehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083814964836187823noreply@blogger.com
