So Far

(a five minute poem - sorry, that’s all I’ve got) I came to the university to get some needed privacy - to learn about the world and give adult life a whirl. I’m up here in the frozen north, where I expected cold and polar bears and the pressure of academic cares - but there’s a storm every week - my mom, back home, has started to freak. This weather feels like Florida should we keep the windows boarded-up? Can we get the power back? The butteries are all flooded - we can’t get snacks! I think it’s all hilarious and so far, a peak experience. This looks like one of my best decisions in spite of natures interventions.
