UCAS: The University of Lincoln and the Conditional Offer

The letter has been received, I should be completely relieved

They just need a copy of my degree, the one my college sent to me

My mother is without answers, but we blame the medecine and cancers

My grandmother is just the same, she will not take any blame



It seems that while they were cleaning, they have forgotten where it was hiding


So I am not upset, with maturity I will not fret
My alma matter, it would seem, will happily send a replacement to me

But of course, there will be some additional fees


The road to education didn't run smooth
And it will take more than this to ruin my mood



UCAS: Falmouth Uni and the Unconditional Offer

A flurry of chills and sniffles greeted me quickly


The croak of a cough rising with the morning



And with a phone call, my mood would change






Another place in the UK was waiting for me







Though I still feel like death warmed over






This happy news has me once step closer

My first week back home

At first it was flights and a time zone change














Pretending to unpack and meetups to arrange


















The mornings arrived faster and errands piled high













My mother and I, to the hospital we would drive













And then came a Tuesday full of interviews galore















Repeating myself with enthusiam was the chore












And now after 72 hours of jobless couch surfing












I have been hired, stress I will be purging

Story Time: The Trip To The UPS

Waiting for a package to arrive

Suspense is hanging in the air

I hurry home to open the prize

But only find a note there

Another day, another plan to time

I chart my journey to the source

But there it seems they cannot find

My package, reason, or an alternate course
So home I travel, seething

Full of rage and indignation

And then the phone is ringing

There is news from the station
My package they did discover

When I was moments from home

Should I return to the center

Or have the pick up postponed
In the end I did return

Weary of the trials and stress

And though UPS I'd like to burn

With my new bag, this I did suppress

Hump Day!


Today is hump day, or the middle of the week, 





Which means that its time for a little celebration.




On the internet, its also Whovian Wednesday




For me, its also two days away from my nervous break down



Between packing up my apartment,




Still putting a full 40 hour week in at work




And all the last minute goodbyes (which are eerily similar to trying to proposition me to have a no strings attached hook up before I leave the state),





Lets just say, I might be






Just a little bit

In the End

It falls to the call, the call of the sky
Sitting in the cool breeze of yester-nights
The misty morning is my favorite dream
You were the star and sun shinning brightly
We could have been the kings
It falls to the call, the song of the why
Petals making shadows to please the cause
The foggy night of dark rum and schemes
You were the pain that I could have fought
We could've balanced on moon beams
It falls to the call, the last note of an ally
Looking down empty corridors of childish laws
And with more words, I disbanded the team
You were the captain and I the rogue shot
We couldn't see and we couldn't be
