UGGHHH SCHOOOL
So basically I am skipping a large assignment because I'm so tired I don't think I'm physically capable of getting to class on time tomorrow morning unless I get at least 10 hours of sleep. FML.
I wrote a couple poems recently, though. Here's one:

KEATSKEATSKEATSKEATS
ahhh ...... errrr...... welll I keep not checking or posting. I was reading Keats, this is probably the coolest introduction to a poem I've ever read. Too bad he died just as he was learning to be consistently good.
