End of Semester Rush

It’s the end of the semester, and you’re just about ready to start pulling your hair out. There are finals and papers and books to read and you can’t sleep at night because you’re so worried and you have no social life because you lock yourself away in your room trying to study and… phew! Well, there’s a lot to be done still, even with just a few days left. Just remember! – tutoring is still available for last minute checks! 

Easy reading

"Easy reading is damn hard writing."

-Nathaniel Hawthorne

Polytechnic NaNoWriMo Poems

Oh writer, how come

you think we proofread your work?

Learn punctuation.

-Amy

Your assignment is

due tomorrow? Want an ‘A’?

I am not a god.

-Amy

I don’t edit things,

my name isn’t spellcheck. So,

let’s work together.

-Cody

Two sentences. No,

commas don’t go in between.

That’s a comma splice.

-Cody

Oh my god, Amy,

you are killing me slowly;

Haikus are poison.

-Amy, from Cody’s perspective

“Corrections. Corrections, that’s all I need.”

Let me look over your paper and see…

Hint, questions, do you see it?

A missing article, a period, I see it!

You’re growing! I helped, see what can happen when we work as a team!

-Brittany

Pencil and paper meet,

The rest is simply history.

-Brittany

A computer can type it,

A tape recorder can replay it.

A memory can promise to keep it,

But only pencil and pen,

Writer and idea can consume it.

The imagination and creativity all play a

Role in the world we invent behind the

Eyes everyone sees, when they fall back

And your heart dreams.

-Brittany
