Energy drink and chili fries to the left
study guides and books to the right
It's 8:00 Central Standard Time
It's cram session tonight
Praying that I would pass tomorrow's test
Sitting at the dinner table and striving to be the best
From 8 to 12pm there is no time for rest
A five hour journey therefore more time to flex
I receive more messages from friends
Whether voice or text
I would have shut my cell down
But the battery has little energy left
I put on my status: I am studying right now
since I update on Myspace and Facebook
This is before I started studying but was wondering
What would become my outlook
There's no room for doubt or no time to rethink
I just read my books and write my notes in ink
Black or blue but never in pink
Who ever invented energy drinks made me think
Soaking all this knowledge is a power to wield
This is a must for my field of study
I read and review and write and cite
Until my brain turned into putty
I stayed up and looked at the clock
And it says 20 minutes to 1
I put up my notes and all of my books
And said that I was done
I made a quick breakfast and it was around 9
And it was the start of class
I was ready for finals but I didn't have a pencil
But I use a charcoal pencil instead
From a long day of tests and a long day it was
I am glad I've studied hard
A marathon it was it felt like the Olympics
Running from yard to yard
I was tired and I was weary
The finals were over
I do see the finish line
And I fell asleep on the checkered sofa

Poetry: Studying
by Sherry Sabbatis-ssphotosho p
Don't bother me I'm studying,
my lessons I must learn,
My wages will depend on it,
for a good one I do yearn,
I must do all
by Carol Natoli
When I study....
I get butterflies in my stomach
the night before my big test.
My tummy just flips and flops
like a roller
Energy drink and chili fries to the left
study guides and books to the right
It's 8:00 Central Standard Time
It's cram
The Reminder
It's day three
and I'm a sleepless zombie
whose only function
is to type essays
at superspeed.
It's darker when
THE STUDIOUS ALMA MATER
I like potions,
That make you nice and smart,
That put the cheat sheet in your hand,
So I won't even
