I will give you an honest, in depth appraisal of your PS (or DS or "why X"), including a general thematic critique of your essay and notes on your spelling, grammar, diction, and flow.

In return you will "chance me" at the schools I'm waiting to hear back from, as well as you can, which may include briefly overviewing my softs to make an accurate prediction.

Trade will go to the first three (and only the first three) people who respond to this thread.

As a thrilling bonus, I will link you to an interesting article, a picture of an attractive person, or give you three funny facts about myself. Your choice.

Mala2... send me your most updated draft in the morning via PM and I'll get to it tomorrow morning or early afternoon. CanesaLuva your essay has been critiqued and is sent back.

3 funny facts as requested... hmm... not necessarily funny, but definitely interesting:

1.) I once was bitten by a 9 ft. boa constrictor in the NECK at a party in college and STILL have a part of a fang stuck back there. (no joke) --snake died 2 months later

2.) When I worked at a coffee shop back in the day I sometimes gave really skinny girls whole milk when they asked for skim (SO BAD I KNOW)

3.) I got a "D-" on my high school chemistry Rube Goldberg project because I used WAY too much gunpowder on demonstration day (yes my project used gunpowder) and my project exploded a lot more than I expected, the class was evacuated, and one kid with bad asthma went home because of the smoke she inhaled. (again no joke, lol)
