Yes Merry Thanks Giving to all of you.
I like so many am guilty of reading without posting, so I'll say this before I return to applications... Where does everyone want to go and why? Essay should be no more than 500 words I joking just curious.
I got distracted from the Stanford App and decided to do my English homework (boy am I a nerd). However, I'm really happy with this Villanelle:

Imperfect nature within us all lays
Like the peacock's dazzlings for his mate.
Form Follows Function, consider always

That beautiful bird drags his tail most days-
For small days of pride, must suffer their weight.
Imperfect nature within us all lays.

The tall tail tells his health through dancing craze
To goggle eyed females; fitness is bait.
Form Follows Function, consider always.

"Beware of the Serpent," so goes the phrase;
You'd takes off his head and glorify hate.
Imperfect nature within us all lays.

Viper lacks legs, thus, on his stomach lays.
The brittle boned dove uplifts in her flight.
Form Follows Function, consider always

Not even your Lark for the Serpent prays.
Nor for scavengers, dank dutied at night.
Form Follows Function, consider always;
Imperfect nature within us all lays

... Has anyone read The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy?
