There is something immensely satisfying about seeing an essay take shape underneath your fingertips. It is so cool to watch the words flow together trying to mimic the thoughts that are being chased around your head. Much as I hate writing essays for their lack of clearly defined structure (give me an engineering report to write any day) I love watching them take shape.

As you may have guessed I'm slightly procrastinating and have an essay that is in the process of being written up for the morrow. Good old all nighters my faithful companion through 5 years of academic toil.

I was always under the impression that a good essay did have structure....

but what do I know, I'm an engineering drop out who did a degree in biochemistry and got a management job

I agree Jimmy :) Though I suppose the thing is you have to figure out the structure for yourself in an artsy essay.

Yeah for all that talk about padding, it was actually clear and concise structure that got the good grades. Don't let the un-Artsy people fool you :D
