starting of semester

Crushed by the amount of work dumped on us
Right at the start of the semester
In a blink of an eye, deadlines splash across my calendar
Found it difficult to find time to work
Group meetings are arranged back to back

Buried in the red sea
Flipping journals on and on
I need a magifying glass soon
Killing trees while we position ourselves strategically by the zapper
Doing wat we do best - photocopying

Staggering out of school
Darkness greets us with its welcoming arms
Bade goodbyes at the train station to fellow classmates
Whom I'll be seeing in less than 12 hrs time
Slumbered away on the journey back

Home sweet home
Showered but not refreshed
Unwillingly continued with the unfinished business
As much as i can keep my eyes open
Till i doze off as mr sandman had to bury me with sand
