RINGIN' IN THE NEW SEMESTER!

Classmates, this semester has started off with a bang! It has indeed been 'banging' thus far, and it's mainly for one reason. My crush is in my poetry class! He sat next to me, and I'm sure we made a really deep connection.

First he took out his earbuds and said, 'Hey'.

Then I cleared my throat and said, 'Hi'.

Class went on, and I glanced at him being really cute among other things. Then I sat, trying to maintain good posture, and keep my boobs looking nice in my blouse. I think I succeeded.

That was Monday. I smiled as I walked out of Robert Bell, thinking about what season our wedding would be in.

Wednesday, two o'clock, and it's poetry time! Today our class had to pass copies of a poem we'd written to everyone in the room. I was sure his was going to be brilliant. He looks like someone that could cook up a nice poem, with perfect stanzas. A poem containing end stops and enjambments placed in the most entricate places. I knew it would present words and imagery that would make me short of breathe. Hopefully no one would notice my respiratory attack as he read aloud in the front of the room.

He stepped to the front of the class, pushed his hair off of his forehead, and smiled just on one side of his mouth. This was it, I was ready to hear excellence flow out of his writing. His first line: ' You're giving birth to gummy bears '. I'm in love.

I'll keep you all posted on our progress.
