FML

Why didn't I go to a school that had a Group 3 subject other than History HL?


Why didn't I go to a school that had Chemistry HL, something that I'd like better and would actually be useful for me?


Why didn't I pick a place that did drama for English Paper 2 instead of "epic" (fail) works for poetry?


Why have I just wasted the last 2 hours complaining about all of this?


It's too late to complain and have regrets, but at least it feels good.


Okay, maybe that was a little melodramatic. History didn't go as completely suckish as I thought, but I'm definitely going to flee from historical studies in the future.

(love song, with two goldfish)




(He's a drifter, always
floating around her, has
nowhere else to go. He wishes
she would sing, not much, just the scales;
or take some notice,
give him the fish eye.)

(Bounded by round walls
she makes fish eyes
and kissy lips at him, darts
behind pebbles, swallows
his charms hook, line and sinker)

(He's bowled over. He would
take her to the ocean, they could
count the waves. There,
in the submarine silence, they would share
their deepest secrets. Dive for pearls
like stars.)

(But her love's since
gone belly-up. His heart sinks
like a fish. He drinks
like a stone. Drowns those sorrows,
stares emptily through glass.)

(the reason, she said
she wanted)
(and he could not give)
a life
beyond the
(bowl)

Indecisive

UBC or McGill?
