"The Week Before Christmas" December Post

"The Week Before Christmas"

The week before Christmas lies ahead
And I wonder what am I going to do as I lay sick in my bed.
I have a calc test, a bio test, a chem test, and an English test
So I guess I'll just have to bear with it and do my best.

As I start to study my 101 degree fever kicks in
But I had to suck it up, for I must begin.
Seeing that I cannot study for all of these in one day
I decided "It is the chem test that I must delay."

No matter how much it hurts when I cough
I realized that I could not put any more of these tests off.
The following day I sucked it up and took three of the tests
And one cannot lie, all three were such pests.

Although its the last day before break and everyone is cheerful
I must take the chemistry test that has been making me so fearful.
But after the test was done
I felt so relieved and thought "it is time to have fun!"

"My Cultural Presentation" November Post

"My Cultural Presentation"

Today was a very important day for me
As any other person would agree.
For it was the last day of the school week
And I was preparing to speak.

I felt rather nervous when the presentation began
But I knew I had to stick to my game plan.
I was attempting to not sound mono tone
Since I thought I heard someone moan.

At that very moment I thought to myself that I was boring everyone
But I could not stop until my presentation was completely done.
When the whole thing finally came to an end
The feeling was so good that I could not comprehend.

My classmates applauded for me
And I was glad to see
That they enjoyed all of the information
Including the art, the song, and the translation.

"Bear Mountain" October post

"Bear Mountain"

Bear Mountain was a beautiful site;
I came to this place in such delight.
Ready to take pictures of everything I saw
Including a bear with a stick in its jaw.

The view from the edge was spectacular
For I have never seen anything of its caliber.
Mr. Pevny was our tour guide
As we hiked up and down the mountain side

Our class walked across the large suspension bridge
To get to the other side of the ridge.
I got the chance to take many colorful photos
Instead of taking pictures in the school of cheesy logos.

Although the weather that day was rough
We would be on our way home soon enough.
While we were snoozing, Mr. Pevny took pictures of us
I guess that's what happens when you fall asleep on the bus.

"My Trials of Garret Mountain" September post

"My Trials of Garret Mountain"

As I gathered at the starting line of the race
All of the top runners set a fast pace.
I could tell that this would not be fun
But I would be proud when it's all done.

Halfway through my race, my coach would tell me to relax
However, I could already feel myself starting to slack.
My breathing was more rapid than ever before
Fearing that I would not be able to keep this up anymore.

Though the scenery was quite peaceful
I found the surroundings to be rather deceitful.
The competition was clearly coming to an end
But the last part was a steep hill, one that I must ascend.

My mind was telling me to continue going
But my body had already started slowing.
And the feeling of sprinting up that hill was very painful
Although the instant I finished the race I feeling quite grateful.
