A Fantasy Poem

The Grandeur of Gelathor
wallpaperup.com/704137/original_anime_forest_landscape.html

In a land 'cross the sea far from our home

was a land of blue grasses and fresh air.

Where trees stood mighty and tall

their red leaves shaking in the wind.

The mountains high, casting shadows

larger than the sea.

Not a man has seen this land,

not a single soul it sees

who can attest to the magic it holds

bursting beneath the seams.

Colorful flora and wild fauna inhabit the land,

undisturbed by the destructive hands of man.

Even the elves, wise in their years

cannot recall

the land in which stands alone.

Those ships that leave for the bright and lovely shores

have ne'er returned.

Do wild waves ravage the path of the misfortunes sailors?

Or does the land entice them so, and keep them for all time?

Not one being alive knows.

Aside from one, an elf as old as time,

Old Man Talanon, who tells his tales to the young by a fire.

The older they grow, more skeptical they become.

'This frigid old man?' They could scarcely believe

had sailed as a hero, across a terror of seas.

Talanon cared not, he knew what was true. The Grandeur of Gelathor, truly a sight to see.

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.
