I wrote this* for finals week, and I just never got around to posting it. So now that’s it’s all over, I post it in memory of the stressful week that I won’t have to deal with for several more weeks. It reminds me that it’s good to be back in the islands where stress doesn’t really happen until this special week.
Hello finals, I am a student
In the hills and islands
I fall asleep with books in my lap
And awake in the very same position
Hello finals, I am a student
Very near the blue waves
I’d like to crawl the sandy bottom of Temple Beach
And construct a sand castle
Hello finals, you are the blazing sun
Shining down and burning my face
I will disguise myself as an eagle
And ascend way above you
Hello finals, I am a cold student
Feeling freezing in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Wishing that’s where I was
Hello finals, I am a wet student
In the flooded hale courtyard
Studying my head off for hours on end
With a welcome break your in your rain and open wind
Hello finals, you are an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright lights
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Turns out they are hallucinations
Hello finals, I am a student
In the hills and islands
I can’t fall asleep!
Take me home to Provo
Carry me through each final
Hold me secure in flight
Help me get through all this
Take me home to Provo
Carry me through each final
Hold me secure in flight
Help me get through all this
And you know? I did! I conquered those dang finals and left them in the dust to shrivel up and die. And I came back for more.
*special thanks to Owl City for his guidance this creation.
I really like this.
Why thank you! I thought it was a fitting song. 🙂
lovely. Nice adaptions. I actually really thought that you wrote it all yourself and I was thinking ‘wow, that’s REALLY not her style!’ but it was awesome. so good to have you back for a teeny bit.
litch.
