i'm drawing a blank with this no-specific-topic essay. what kinds of stuff are people writing about?
The poster "The Remix" here on SDN submitted this as his/her essay for VCU/MCV and was interviewed and accepted:
"Concerning Weathermen
I wonder, as I take a break from reading Lord of the Rings, whats it like being a weatherman? Lets ponder for a second. Can you think of another profession where you get to dress like a mafia don, play with incredibly expensive equipment, even say neat words like cumulonimbus, and yet, have almost no accountability for what you say? Weathermen have it good, and they do a fantastic job of keeping the details of their operation in the dark. However, there is a downside. They pour their hearts and souls into their work, yet the topic of their toil never emerges amongst laymen unless there is nothing else to talk about. I wonder if there is a National Weathermens Convention an event where fellow climate brethren journey from all walks of the land, gather in a luxurious hotel, and discuss the weather intentionally. If there is, by gale-force, Im going to go one day! Ill stand and give our valiant meteorological soothsayers an intense round of applause. O wise weatherman, bravo for warning your flock of the approach of the angry neon green radar splotches, we heed. Duly shall our umbrellas cast asunder thy watery projectiles!
Thank you."
