My favorite kind of doughnut is the kind of doughnut that has sprinkles. I like the little crunchy bits, I like the colours and I love the extra icing they have to use to ensure all the sprinkles stay on the doughnut. And today, my lovely boss met me at the door of the store as I was leaving to come home with a box of doughnuts, not one but two of which had sprinkles! Yummy!! She knows I’m in the middle of essay hell and thought I could use some sugary goodness to help me make it through the night. What a peach!

And while I do hope to eat something other than doughnuts, they’ve been tasty so far! Hooray for Tim Horton’s and their delightful goodies.

And as for the essays, well, I got part of one written at work today. But somehow the short one is the one that’s killing me. I’ve become so accustomed to writing 400 level 5-10 thousand word essays that a simple 2000 paper is hard. There’s no space to draw out my argument and make sure that I say it exactly how I want to. And it doesn’t help that it’s for what turned out to be one of my least favorite classes or an essay for which we were given no guidelines. Usually I enjoy the whole ‘write about whatever interests you’, but that usually comes with a few words of wisdom regarding what it is that the professor is hoping you’ll achieve. This isn’t a compare and contrast essay, and I’m now realizing that that is what I’m good at. Give me two differing sides to argue and I’m good. Tell me to just write on a topic, just the facts, and I’m lost.

But I suppose I should get back at it. I still have to find 1500 words that sound just right. But maybe I’ll have another doughnut first….
