College- Old peice

*** I just stumbled upon this and I think it captures a few college courses very well;) ***

Winter 2011

I tried today, I really did
I wasn't going to give in without a fight
My computer left at home
Asleep
Doing what I wanted to
Where I wished I could be

My smartphone forcefully disabled
by the lack of Sprint service
a pen in my hand
a notebook in my lap
Sitting up unnaturally straight
eyes wide open

My ears at attention
My brain awake
Focused
taking notes,
until the rambling began
and uncertainty crept into his voice
as I snuck out

My eyes began to close
hopeful that the next time they'd open
it would be 4pm
and they'd be free to wander
and look wherever they desired.
