Prayer for Finals

Prayer for Finals




The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not flunk
He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying
He leadeth me beside the water cooler for a study break
He restores my faith in study guides
He leads me to better study habits
For my grades' sake

Yea, though I walk through the valley of borderline grades
I will not have a nervous breakdown
For thou art with me
My prayers and my friends, they comfort me
Thou givest me the answer in moments of blankness
Thou anointest my head with understanding
My test paper runneth over with questions I recognise

Surely passing grades and flying colours shall follow me
All the days of my examinations
And I shall not have to dwell in this exam hall forever.

A-M-E-N.

Falling Over

Falling Over


Hummin': Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles

I realized that it takes so little to actually break me down.

Perhaps, it's because I never show any fractures or signs of breaking until I reach that very edge where I know that one little piece of sand would make all the difference. And if that one sand is added on my shoulders, I just tip over and fall--

Down...

Hard.

And I get knocked out....

Out of myself.

Only then, I see things from an outside perspective, and I study what happened and how I got to that point.

Sadly, that's when I start pointing fingers.

(A word of advice: Duck.)
