Well, there were three essay questions; the first was "why do you want to go to UChicago?" and I started my answer with "because that's where Harry met Sally, so it must be a magical place." The second was "what are a few of your favorite books, movies, plays, television shows, pieces of music, etc. etc. etc. OH YOU ONLY HAVE LIKE THREE PARAGRAPHS TO ANSWER BTW" so I didn't really have to work hard to put it in there. I used Nightwatch and The Queen of Attolia as my main two. The third, actual essay that I wrote was off the topic "mind that does not stick."

...some days, I wonder if I shouldn't have gone there instead. Oh well, there's always grad school! Yeah!

hm, I can't remember how much I actually laughed out loud while reading it. The tiger joke got me because he placed it so innocuously at the end of a sentence, and, well, allusional humor always gets me. But yeah, overall it has a much darker humor.

Man, your quest to read all the Discworld novels in order is inspiring me. It's been a long time since I've sat back and gone on a Discworld kick, and there are a LOT that I still haven't managed to read yet...
