Mit schlag obers

Posted by Picasa
A stroke of good fortune bizarrely coincident with this essay topic brings your correspondent to Vienna this week. Freud lived here for most of his life, and I have made it my solemn duty to sample Guglhupf, allegedly his favourite cake. Just for good measure, I had it in the Landtmann, allegedly his favourite coffee house. However, a stroke of internet misfortune (specifically, flaky connections) means that I have been unable to post the penultimate draft of my essay until today. But after much struggle it’s now there for you to see, on the wiki, all 1498 words of it. Hooray!

Writing the body was fast and easy thanks to my prefabricated conclusion, which only needed a very slight adjustment to bring it exactly in line with the points made in the body. I’m sure that most of you already know this, but the conclusion of an essay, whatever else one decides to do with it, is never the place to introduce new ideas or information. I always compulsively double-check to make sure I haven’t done this, because it’s easy to overlook.

My introduction was a different matter. Usually I save space for one, something in the region of 10% of the overall length, and write it last. After all, it’s usually much easier to introduce something or someone you already know a lot about, rather than guessing ahead of time. This time, however, I find that don’t have a conclusion in the conventional sense. Space was too short and I had too much to say to feel inclined towards a conventional introduction. Instead, my hope is that the first paragraph will present the basic issue underlying Freud’s theory and that this will make my reader want to carry on.

Here in Vienna, every foodstuff seems to come mit schlag obers (with whipped cream). I was hoping to apply the whipped cream of references to my essay this week, but cleverly I left my stack of index cards back home in London. I am, therefore, going to have to wait until I either find a more reliable internet connection than the one I currently have in order to look them up online, or wait until my return home on Sunday. Take-home message to you, dear readers; plan ahead and don’t be caught on the hop like yours truly.

More soon!
