My first semester at the University of Louisville as a McConnell Scholar is coming to a close. In order to share my experiences with you I decided to write an awful poem about it. The lines and syllables don't really flow or follow any established pattern or guidelines, and it doesn't rhyme that well, but I feel it is an effective way of reflecting on what has happened so far, so here it is.
Its the season of love, the season of cheer
The end of the semester is finally here.
Its feels like just yesterday that we moved in
but boy what a semester this one has been.
We started by reading some Louis L'Amour,
A Wandering Man from the second World War.
Next we climbed up a Seven Storey Mountain
to learn from Thomas Merton, the famous chaplain.
There was much more to learn as we went on our way.
We read from scholars, priests, and even Henry Clay.
There was talk about law and judicial process,
And the Moot Court team saw great success.
We took a trip camping and sang songs with Kleber.
He sings so much than little Justin Bieber.
We met with Alumni and partied with Mitch,
Recruited new scholars and gave our best pitch.
It happened so fast and tired us all out,
But "fatigue's the best pillow" Ben Franklin points out.
Now I will say to all scholars, Gregg, and Sherry
Good luck on finals, I hope your holiday's merry!
