My very last high school midterms
Fill me excitement and dread.
I couldn't wait to get them over with.
To prevent stress, I knew I had to get ahead.
I planned on studying early
So that I didn't have to cram the night before.
But I was scheduled to work every day that week.
I had no time to study, but my grades couldn't be poor.
Tuesday I decided that I needed to take a day off.
My boss understood I needed to study.
But I almost forgot about some family plans.
I had to go to dinner for my mother's birthday!
I felt sorry, but I needed to make time.
My mom rescheduled dinner for this weekend.
Which finally gave me some free hours.
And Tuesday night, I didn't want to, but I crammed.
