Poetry On Odyssey: What Do I Remember?

I misremember going to San Diego comic con. My sister and I only made it to one panel about drawing comics.

I misremember getting to meet Shin Lim and Colin Cloud in Vegas. They gave my sister the confidence in her art that she sorely needed.

I misremember meeting my best friend one of my first years playing softball. We've been friends for 13 years now.

I misremember my 3rd plane ride. It's the first time that I can actually remember.

I misremember my dog. The feel of her fur on my face when I clung to her as a child.

I misremember when we had a tank full of fish. One of them turned cannibal and ate every single fish before jumping out of the tank.

I misremember my first cat. He hated everyone but my dad and then he had a heart attack while we were on our first cruise.

I misremember when we got our second cat. She was given to us by one of my friends in 7th grade. She's almost 8 years old now.

I misremember my first day of college orientation. I didn't talk much to the people in my group, but no one seemed to want to talk to me anyway.

I misremember my first time watching It. My heart never raced when faced with a clown after somehow.

I misremember playing Jackbox with my friends. We always ended up with lots of funny inside jokes.

I misremember the first thing I wrote that I was truly proud of. It was a class assignment to write a realistic piece of a day in the life of a bird. I wrote about a Northern White-Faced Scops Owl.

I misremember the first time I laid awake all night on the verge of a panic attack. It happens when I start to think about my future.

I misremember the last time I went to Disney World. It was a trip with my high school band and we marched in a parade at the Magic Kingdom. Many band members had to get treated for heat stroke that day.

I misremember watching Stranger Things with my sister. We both decided that the show was amazing, but we hated Mike and Eleven as a couple.

I misremember when I decided to be a creative writing major. My dad told me to be an engineer instead.

I misremember deciding to minor in Simulation, Animation, and gaming. My dad told me to be an engineer instead.

I misremember deciding to double minor in Apparel, Textiles, and Merchandising. My dad told me to be an engineer instead.

I misremember when I graduated. I didn't start crying until I saw my sister crying.

I misremember my Cinderella-themed birthday party. Back then I had hope that I would have a happy ending.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
