Purchasing a calendar is quite important
Updating, labeling, color coding
Posting it somewhere noticeable is one hint.
To keep your brain from eroding.
Asking for help is not weak,
For we all need help giving our schedules a little tweak.
Don't pack too much into one day
Little by little,
Come what may.
A smile or two,
A little bit done.
In no time
We will be having lots of fun.

Love Poem
Fortune Future
The desert of life
Saving the best for last
Two halves, one surprise within
Sweet and Crunchy
Anxiously awaiting
Comes with the meal,
Part of Life
Makes or Breaks a deal
Can’t realistically predict
Or give us the future we desire
In that moment,
That person
Sweet sense of hopefulness
Honest only if true,
Not necessarily though
Different culture,
Different people,
Sometimes don’t always mesh
Exciting and scary
Sometimes we wonder
How, why, or what if?
All we can do,
Put our feet up and relax
We all need our meal
Come what may
In the end,
We all will have it
Selfish consumers
Full stomachs and hearts
A little piece at a time
Bit by bit.

October 7th
Today I realized that getting stuff done without putting it on the back burner is a good thing, and the greater thing is the feeling you get once it's done. Last night for example, I had so many tasks to do, e-mails to send, my room to clean, a facebook group to make for my TEC team, college essays to edit, skate, dance, sleep, there was basically a lot to do. I really wanted to put all of the e-mails off but after skating, I came home and just made myself send them all and create a new e-mail address. I felt so much more accomplished by the time it was time to go to dance. Me, being one of the world's best procrastinators, felt so much better and I'm working on changing my bad habits to just GETTING IT DONE and forget about it...it's so worth it...that's my tip for the day to staying organized!
Love Metaphor
"Love is as crazy, scary, and fun as a rollercoaster at the fair."
Love is an emotional ride. At times it's very strong and
exciting...as in the start of a crush or the beginning of
a relationship. There is often bumps along the road such
as arguments or misunderstandings. That is kind of like
working on a relationship to keep it strong...which is like
slowly creeping up to the top of the rollercoaster. When
you're on a straight path...things are fine in the relationship
and the ride is still going...but nothing bad, good, scary, or
exciting is happening. You anticipate what's next. No matter
where you are on the rollercoaster, in the end, all that matters
is that you're on it and you're glad you purchased the ticket.
Love is tough, but in the end is well worth it. Even for those scared
of heights (or relationships) it's taking risk that is well worth it.
For it is better to have love and lost, than to have never loved
at all. The ride is there, and all you have to do is hop on and
see where it takes you.

Friendship
When we were idlers with the loitering rills,
The need of human love we little noted:
Our love was nature; and the peace that floated
On the white mist, and dwelt upon the hills,
To sweet accord subdued our wayward wills:
One soul was ours, one mind, one heart devoted,
That, wisely doting, ask’d not why it doted,
And ours the unknown joy, which knowing kills.
But now I find how dear thou wert to me;
That man is more than half of nature’s treasure,
Of that fair beauty which no eye can see,
Of that sweet music which no ear can measure;
And now the streams may sing for others’ pleasure,
The hills sleep on in their eternity.

I think the theme of the poem is the love of friendship.
The poem is describing two best friends that were so
close with eachother, they basically were one soul...each
other's other half. Their friendship was a positive one, a
beautiful one. No one can understand their secrets and
their closeness...only they can ever know and ever understand.
The author uses metaphor or simile to express the theme
of the piece when the poem says, "That man is more than
half of nature's treasure..." This shows that they view their
special bond and relationship as a treasure and that they
are fond of eachother and think highly of one another. I think
this does a great job describing the powerful friendship.
