"T’was the week before finals, and
all through the halls
All the students were stressing, all
in a squall,
computers were on with screens all
aglow,
In hopes that their procrastination
just wouldn’t show,
The teachers where nestled all
snug in their beds,
While visions of easy grading
danced in their heads.
And with math tests approaching,
and portfolios galore
I set up for an all-nighter, that’s
what I have in store."
- H.E. Robinson.
I was bored and procrastinating homework. So, what do you do when you are avoiding homework and it's around Christmas time? You take the first two stanzas of "Night before Christmas" and write it into the context of a student dealing with finals rush.
I am in fact not planning on pulling an all-nighter, but the line is funny. My personal favorite is the last two lines of the first stanza though. "computers were on with screens all aglow, in hopes that their procrastination just wouldn't show,"
I find this funny mostly because I'm one of the biggest procrastinators when I want to me. Right now I'm just feeling burnt out and tired. But just like the poem says. I have math tests to study for and portfolios to finish.
So this entry is going to be short and sweet as I move around to get everything finished. I wish all you luck on your final projects, and I'll see you on the other side.
Salute.
