This blog entry comes to you from the ninth floor of the Guthrie Theater in downtown Minneapolis. I was hired by a family friend to be a "Personal Care Assistant" for her daughter, who is both in a wheelchair and in a Guthrie production. My job was to make sure anything she needed was available before the show, but now the production has started and my job is basically over. I'm just hanging out in the lobby, enjoying the view and surfing the web (the joys of laptops and WiFi).
I might head back down to the fifth floor Express Cafe in a minute or two-- I realized a few minutes ago that the bean salad I had been happily munching contained huge chunks of sausage. I've been a vegetarian for almost 13 years, so that made the salad a no-go. Eating in the dark is dangerous, I guess.
Here's a question for those of you reading this: If you were an ACT test writer, what would you make the essay question? Be specific! I took the ACT this morning, and was forced to write an essay for half an hour on a truly inane topic (ACT rules prohibit me from disclosing the actual essay prompt, god knows why). Anyway, I don't feel like it should be impossible to think of essay topic that actually inspires some form of opinion in your average 16-18-year-old. Any thoughts?
Minneapolis is beautiful at night.

ACT essay prompts are so ridiculously meaningless and irrelevant to teenagers (and anyone else). I don't know how anyone could write a complete essay on a stupid topic they don't care about in only 30 minutes. I am a competant writer, I got an A in an accelerated college writing class. Yet I got a 5 out of 12 on my ACT essay because I was unable to regurgitate meaningless crap. Apparently there wasn't enough "thought development" (like there was anything to think about!).

I also hate when people ruin good food with meat and don't tell you.
