Scorched

My decision to return to school was not reached with blinders on.  I knew that most of the normal rituals in my life would be disturbed. Oh my goodness! I had absolute no inkling of the horror about to occur. I heard a rap artist recently. He said he would like to party all night til he was dead.  Well this fellows stairway does not go all the way to the top.  With that much free time I would sleep. I need rest!!! My body craves a soft bed and a pillow. My eyes are like burning coals that leave permanment dark circles under my lashes.  Yes, i do have respect for my body along with my eye sockets, but i can not regress on my ultimate quest.  A higher education.  There is not a desire for admiration from my peers or subordinates.  I could care less if i had 10 titles after my name or no titles at all.  It is just that simple.  I can not lay stagnate in the sand and allow my brain to scorch.  I am tired.  I must study for the biology test.  I must read and absorb 4 chapters tonight.  Oh ya and the homework that is due in the A.M.  Alrighty then! Grab another cup of coffee and one more energy bar.  This too shall pass and i will make it to class.
