So it's time for me to work on my Grad school application essays. Fun, fun, fun. I have some ideas for my "creative narrative," but figured, gosh, my friends are such a cretive bunch, maybe they'll have some ideas. This is the essay requirements:

1. Write a narrative about your life. This should include information about your accomplishments, family, educational experience, and outside activities. Be creative here rather than philosophic. Remember that you are writing for a reader who knows nothing about you or your background.

Last time I did a letter to myself at 5 from myself at 22. Cheesy, I know and we see how well it worked. So, any ideas?

Good Lord, I'm glad they don't make engineers do that. If I have to write something like that to get into Georgetown...well I guess that's what all this LJ practice is for.

Would an obituary be too morbid? :-P Probably bad karma.

How about a human interest article from the "Neighbors" or "Community" section of the paper? You could quote yourself in the interview.

I was thinking eulogy as a possibility. Obituary might work as well.
