Midterm, Projects, Essay Essay Essay

Once again it seems I am being swamped by school work. tomorrow I have my Astronomy midterm, which I actually studied for this time. Then on Thursday I have a creative assignment due. Normally this would be a lot of fun, but since it's for a history course, it means a lot of research, and writing an essay to accompany it. I'm playing to my strengths and writing a poem, so that means I'll have something new up soon. Then I have three more essays due for three difference classes. One of them is due on November 29th, same day as a presentation for the same class, so I have a little more time to think about it. But my other two are coming up within a week or two, and they're both for English courses. I'm doing one of my essays on Dulce Et Decorum Est, which is one of my very favourite poems. It's on a very morbid topic, but it's written so beautifully.

So anyway, by now you should know that I'm not up to writing anything new, and I'm running low on new work, so here is something very small:

I have taken

a trek

through the stars.

I have fought

battles,

and survived

disasters.

All in the

comfort

of a Hollywood

set.

And not once

did I say,

“Beam me up, Scotty”

so don’t

misquote me.

I am

however

a very

fascinating,

captain.

With a fear

of flying.

And though

it has been

years,

I still remain

healthy

and boyishly handsome

because of

the blood

of young runaways.

So you may say

my life has been

Weird

Or What,

but,

one thing

is for sure.

I will not be

forgotten.

You may have guessed that I was writing in the voice of William Shatner. It was a poem for one of my classes last year, and I really should edit it a bit...
