Ode to the Trees That Were Sacrificed for my Education

Oh majestic trees
Once towering and verdant
Formerly a shelter to the forest floor
What have you become?
Jumbled in the head
Of a weary dental student...
Notes amassed over the years:
An aid to her understanding.
Recycle bins are your home now.
Farewell forest floor.
One hopes she remembers
The furious scribbling on your pages.

Very clever, Shanana. I didn't know you could write such lovely poetry, you tree killer.

So lovely!
I need to talk to you about coming up. do you need me to stay and help you move? when, exactly are you driving to L A? I don't know whether to fly or drive with the gas prices like they are. but its about to late to get a good ticket price either. Kelly's flying but coming back on sunday. I'm so confused! Tell me what to do!
Love, Momma Lynne

Then, as if having a big ole stinkin' stack of papers, notes, and books...they make ya feel guilty if you start tossing! Maybe it's the thousands of dollars we spend on those "paper goods" to get through our education?!

Have fun organizing. Better yet... IKEA it all!
