This is a final.
In order to procrastinate even further, I have taken a spontaneous study break to write you this lovely poem about finals week.
Enjoy.
I’m looking at the pile of books stacked against the wall
A hundred shirts exploding from my upper dresser drawer
Starbursts, chips, and coffee are my selected foods of choice
Sleep is just a memory, and I’m starting to lose my voice
It’s Monday? I thought it was Tuesday.
Is there a dog that I can pet?
I’ll take a large triple espresso and a study guide for rent.
It’s 8am, then midnight, then 4am, then 5,
And I still have the same four pages that I’ve had
since the other night.
My Stats exam is cumulative
And I can’t remember 4 + 5,
But if I can catch two hours of sleep,
Tomorrow I’ll be fine.

Study hard, eat a lot of food, sleep never.
