"Just My Luck"

It was the first week of October
Senior year was slowly going by
But my pile of work was becoming a monster
And no doubt did I want to take it out with a cry

I remember this first week clearly
My workload was at its all time high
My nights would not end early
I hoped quickly that the week would go by

Day by day I received more homework
Not to mention that I had work after school
Soon enough I would become berserk
But I told myself to just stay cool

And to top it off was the SATs on Saturday
Next to the wedding I also had to attend
There were rehearsals everyday
And I needed to practice to get that 2400

After SATs I had felt so relieved
It was definitely the most stressful week so far
But in myself I strongly believed
And rewarded myself with a candy bar

"Change of Mind"

I sat in my calculus class

Thinking "would I even pass?"

I was already taking Statistics

So my brain was already going ballistic

No way did I want to make my senior year difficult

And I needed a report card with positive results

So to the guidance office I rushed

And little did I know my feelings would be crushed

Schedule changing was past its deadline

And my request to change classes would be declined

For a split second my heart stopped

Panicking because I wasn't ready to continue with the class

But my counselor gave me a chance to swap

As long as my decision would last

And so film studies I chose

In placement of calculus class

And no more did I have to question myself

If I was going to pass.
