When Life Gives You Lemons, Get Ready to Pucker

This title is courtesy of my amazingly wonderful and fabulous roommate, Jennifer Franzen. She sure is awesome :) Will she ever read this? probably not... But that's okay!
So this week. It's been hard. Like, really hard. Monday and Tuesday I felt like I was about to have a nervous breakdown. I had so much stuff to do, and it didn't seem like there was enough time to do it in. I was super frustrated. My mom, bless her heart, was telling me to prioritize and mark stuff off when I was done, but looking at everything made me freak out even more. And then wednesday came... And things seemed to be a little more bearable. And now it's thursday, and things are starting to look up. I'm almost completely done with 3 of my classes, and I don't have much to do in the rest of them. I'm so ready for this week and next week to be over. Then I can go home, and go to hawaii with my family :) Did I mention I was going to Hawaii before? Well, I am. Wish I could take you with me! Because if you read this, you're probably a big part of my life... Just saying. Thanks for everything you do! I love you, and you are amazingly wonderful and fabulous, just like my roommate :)

This Boot Ain't Made For Walking

I wrote this poem last semester when I was sick and tired of being in my walking boot due to my broken leg. I have also discovered that I quite like writing poems. Well, cheesy ones that is :)

Oh right shoe

I'm sorry you've been neglected

I didn't know what to do

But a break had been detected

They gave me a special boot

Of which I wasn't a fan.

It made me say, "Oh shoot"

And I wanted to create a ban

On mismatched shoes

And special boots for a gimp

And from the break, there was no ooze

But there was a definite limp

But after 5 weeks

And lots of time on the couch

I can stop being a geek

and emulating Oscar the Grouch

As long as I avoid the ice,

My life should be rather nice

Well, that's my attempt at writing poems :) Pictures? Of course. What's a blog post without pictures?

CAUTION: NOT FOR THOSE WITH A WEAK STOMACH!!!
