Stupid Research Paper...

I was up all freakin' night!

By Bryan BuffkinPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Allow me some patience

Because I have been up all night

Concerned about this crazy chemistry report

Due first block this morning

Everything I know about chemicals on these pages

From our notes on hydrogen

Going to all the way to whatever the

Hell lawrencium is

I’ll never be able to get back the sleep I missed!

Just know, good or bad, I gave it my best shot

Know that I sacrificed so much for this stupid research

Love it or hate it, it’s everything I’ve got

Most of my friends didn’t show the effort I did

No matter how much I wanted to just go to that party

Only I know better than that; I know the

Paper had to come first. No

Question.

Rest assured, I know what my priorities are.

So I deserve, I KNOW, that I deserve a great grade

To know what I’ve given up, sacrificed?

Understand that (please) as you grade it.

Very thankful for your time and patience

What? You pushed the paper back a week? Are you serious?!

XENON! I wasted three hours on Xenon alone!

You know what? Screw it! Clear off that couch!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….
