Dead Week [Stuck in Reverse]

For those of you no longer in college, the week before Finals week is called "Dead Week". Some institutions call it "Read Week," but no matter the name, it still kinda sucks. The teachers are not SUPPOSED to assign anything due, and they are supposed to be no tests or quizzes. However, I know a lot of people where they have all their papers and such due this week and not next. So why call it dead week if it's not really dead and nothing changes?

On a different note, here is a little something I wrote:

Facebook statuses fly

across my screen, flitting like

birds with insignificant wings and

no motives. They are sel-

fish and condescending, hel-

pful and useless, calling

attention to themse-

lves like mating calls, wishing for

attention.

ATTENTION, ATTENTION, ATTENTION:

I AM IMPORTANT!

HEAR ME ROAR!

because everyone cares

about your silly song lyrics, or

how depressed you are and

the things that your friends

did. The inside jokes

are too claustrophobic for me,

and I still-

"Dark blue, dark blue, have you ever been alone in a crowded room, well I'm here-"

"-and safety belts, bucket seats have all got to go. When we're-"

"try your best but you don't succeed. When you get what you want and not what you need-"

"-is sick"

"-is tired"

"-has homework to do"

"-needs a break"

"-LOVES MILK!"

To comment or not to comment, that is the-
