The Susanne

I am writ­ing an essay on Tess of the D’Urbervilles. It is the first time I have come up with an idea about what I want to write, then an essay out­line, and THEN star­ted writ­ing, in my entire car­reer as a stu­dent. I feel so… well, I feel good. And clever! True, my essay is due tomor­row and I only star­ted writ­ing today. But I will do it! I will com­plete my mag­ni­fi­cent essay and reap the glor­i­ous rewards.
