The Summer Epic
What I'm Listening to: Nothing at the moment, as I've forgotten my Pandora password...
Dear followers, I have one thing to say: so sorry for letting my life get too ahead of itself. Yes, it's really been four months since I've last posted (and I am quite ashamed of myself). Instead of penning a dreary monologue about the summer you wish you had, I decided to write a poem...Enjoy!
The Summer Epic
School finally relinquished me, too tardy for my taste.
I sat in for the ACT and took the test with haste.
The very next day I boarded a plane, bound for Guatemala.
There I met people that probably could rhyme with Guatemala.
Cute kids and cute interns there I met and played with all day long.
I chatted with the Spanish volunteers and learned a Spanish song.
A few days after I returned, I left for Little Rock.
Up a mountain called Pinnacle my friends and I took a walk.
Kidnappings and mischief ensued, much to my delight.
We forked the house of a friend of mine on a moonlit night.
Finally, back to my house my friend and I did come.
We watched movies, ate too much food, and had a lot of fun.
Then I went to Oregon, where I volunteered.
Weary but rewarding was my time (though I did not grow a beard).
Now the summer draws to an end--I can't say I wish it'd tarry.
For my friends are returning to school as well (and I really want a canary).
Have an awesome school year, y'all!
