All Within Twenty-Four Hours

Last night, at seven,

I arrived back at my dorm.

I knew that I had to do the remainder of my homework after a long busy weekend,

but I was unaware of how much I actually had...

At seven,

I began reading my History

--all fifty-four pages of it--

and my Prelude

--all eighteen pages of it--

and writing my responses

--all four questions, one-hundred words each--

and, then,

around nine,

I realized

I had another paper,

a three page autobiography,

that I hadn't started!

I frantically began to work.

I worked until midnight,

When my brain was no longer functioning properly.

At eight-thirty the next morning,

I woke up and continued working.

and working

and working

(while simultaneously doing laundry)

Eleven-thirty,

I attended my Bible class.

Twelve-thirty,

I ate lunch.

One,

I continued to work on my papers.

Two,

I finally finished my papers.

Two-Thirty,

I attended my Math class.

Three-thirty,

I attended the Prelude Plenary in the chapel.

Five,

I went to dinner.

Six,

I attended my class and turned in my papers.

So,

In twenty-four hours,

I successfully

attended all my classes,

ate all my meals,

finished 3 papers,

and did my laundry.

And soon I will begin another day,

with new challenges,

and more homework.

Welcome to college.
