Sandy College Applications

College applications and SATs oh my,
I'm just trying to get by.
To be wise and use my mind,
And hopefully have enough time.

Hurricane Sandy started by the bay,
Application deadlines only a few days away.
Out goes the power,
It's been more than an hour.

There is no cable or internet,
This is worse than what we suspect.
Can't finish my homework or applications now,
I'm just going to have to manage somehow.

The generator can get us by,
But still no wifi, I might cry.
The outcome will be,
Hurricane Sandy can't stop me.

The Overwhelming Beginning

September 2012 it's Senior year,
Everyone is ready to have a good cheer.
No one tells you how stressful it can be,
When projects, essays and homework is all you see.

Coaching keeps me busy it's never a bore,
There is not even enough time for me to snore.
Running from point A to point B,
Can't you tell this is getting crazy?

Overwhelmed by the third week of school,
I'm just trying to keep my cool.
Trying not to let my anxiety get to me,
I take a deep breath relaxation is key.

Everything starts to get sorted out,
I don't even know why I began to pout.
This is only the first of the ten innings,
September is the overwhelming beginning.
