About a 7,000 word reflective piece that I am not enjoying.

i have so many things to do
but i won't put down my uke

i'm 7000 words away
from the long anticipated day
where i can just sit back
and worry over what they have to say

i've been reflecting on the experience i've had
and when i look at the big picture it starts to drive me mad

it's half of this year's learning plan
will it help me better understand
i don't care
i just need that piece of paper in my hand

that tells the world i'm qualified
despite the fact i've wasted time
who needs to know science
when i have feelings deep inside

oh the hours that i sit
and relive this minor incident

scouring for references
that tell me who first had it said
six books in the library
that closes right before you get there

now every time i fall asleep
i have a terrifying dream
my word count's falling slowly
and all i can do is scream

when it's all printed and bound
i'll be so beaming and proud

next year when third years say it's screwed
i'll say 'i had to do it too'
i'll have forgotten just how bad it was
to have to get through

for the rest of my career and life
i'll be a better wiser mind
three months of reflection
i could think of better uses for my time...

  • Wow, that was awesome!!! =D

  • hmm. yes, subbing, i think!

  • I want chords to all your songs!

  • I missed this? Damn youtube. This is great!

  • Yes. Boo! Darn Youtube didn't notify me of this awesome original!!

  • I'm sure that in anything having to do with words, you're statistically outlying in a happy direction (though perhaps not so for classmates, should they find out you've broken the curve).

    Well done.

  • you're awesome, keep it up.

  • yet again I find myself grinning and nodding along...I definitely can sympathize with you =S

  • Great stuff Claire :) keep going !!

  • Absolutely genius!
