What is a Final

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.

 

Finals Week
Observe the notes, cell phone (for frantically contacting your classmates in regard to a question on a study guide), charger, and gum to relieve the stress. Happy studying!

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