Oh no, another
Praxis test to take
I must prove my worth.
Breakthrough finally
Happiness can be real now
I have a new job.
Depression falling.
After so many weeks of pain…
I feel at peace now.
I have a tight schedule that has grown even tighter…
There is no wiggle room…
So I find it where I can…
Last night I found too much, got too into it, and forgot to post…
Oops.
Shadows forest love.
Verdant protection from light.
Stop killing them please.
I was at a community college, panicking over my BA in English.
So I went for an associate’s in medical secretary.
I helped my friend learn her medical terminology, abbreviations, grammar, and anatomy.
I helped another friend learn about computers as we had to take Windows, Excel, and Access.
All three of us struggled comically over transcription.
The Puerto Rican said that the “Puerto Rican” doctor on the recording didn’t sound right.
The Caucasian said, “Where the heck do you find the ‘send’ key?!”
I felt like the smartest person in the room for the first time in my life.

I sometimes wonder what parents are thinking when they shroud their children in ignorance…
Are they protecting themselves from having to explain the virus?
Are they bamboozled into thinking that there is no pandemic?
They vaccinate their son against the flu yet he has no idea what ‘corona’ or ‘covid-19’ is…
What does he think of these masks then? A sudden fashion trend?
At least he wasn’t told it was all an elaborate hoax…
You’re really pretty
Pretty without glasses on
You are pretty too!
Oh no, not another
Praxis test to suffer through
Sorry about this.
It’s hard to keep your head above the water when you’re drowning in your own tears... Take that, former me who wrote horrible Goth poetry!
