An essay? Good heavens.

To the surprise of some (in fact, almost all who have had the pleasure of hearing me claim it), I don't think that I have ever had occasion to write an essay before. Certainly not an actual, academic document with referenced research and formulated cognition.

But I'm writing one now.

The essay is for the Third World International Politics module which I am taking as a break from Computer Science (my degree subject), and to increase my general learning. I've chosen the essay on underdevelopment and capitalism.

If my usage of vocabulary has become a bit odder than usual, it may be something to do with my use of Dictionary.com and Thesurus.com to increase the impresivitude of my writing.

So far I've got in the words 'propounded' and 'multifarious'. I'm hurtling towards having a significant part of the introduction completed.

I have until next Wednesday, 15 March. If you have any words you think I should include, do let me know. sam ( at ) redwelly dot co dott uk.
