		<title>Chapter 1 &#8211; A Dream Deferred</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He could remember it like it was yesterday. In fact, it was about eight months ago. He didn&#8217;t sleep well the night before. The following day was spent preparing for departure. He had hurriedly packed his clothes, a few pairs of Adidas, HDTV, Xbox 360, and sound system in anticipation for move-in day.

He was so [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230; But You&#8217;re Bringing Me Down or: The Beauty of an All-Nighter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ah the beauty of an all-nighter.
Never is the load any lighter.
And when it is,
We just procrastinate until the load is unmanageable.

The night is young at 10 p.m.
Basketballs still bounce on Gregory rims.
Music plays in random apartments,
As architects are just making their way to their department.
The heart of UT still beats
As people neglect their cozy bed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Someone Please Call 911 or: Emergency! Emergency! (A Sonnet)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A firetruck just passed by. Emergency! Emergency!
Students no longer have the right of way.
An ambulance follows soon after. Everyone turn and see!
Students then go on about their day.
A firetruck just passed by, hoping to extinguish the firey failure
Of students underachieving.
An ambulance follows soon after. For this disease there is no cure.
Hope is so deceiving.
So soon [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bad News or: Despite Recent Developments, There&#8217;s Still Potential</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Didn&#8217;t you know I was waiting on you,
Waiting on a dream that&#8217;ll never come true.
Didn&#8217;t you know I was waiting on you,
And now that you&#8217;re here I don&#8217;t know what to do.
When you decide to break the rules,
&#8216;Cause I just heard some real bad news.
Never known you to ever be this way,
Hoping I&#8217;ll wake up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Look At The Stars, Look How They Shine For You, And Everything You Do or: Broccoli Cheddar, Sooo Good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I find the best time for me to write,
The best time to do anything really,
Is in the dead of night,
When the time seems most silly.

See, tomorrow I have a test,
Two to be exact,
And tonight I&#8217;ll get no rest;
I need good grades to keep my mind intact.
Cause the outlook is decently grim,
And I&#8217;m not sure if [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Fell Asleep Beneath The Flowers or: This Chair is So Comfortable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s so hard not to fall asleep in class.
Even with an ample five hours of sleep,
I find myself turning over this handout
And blogging to keep myself awake.
In high school I never fell asleep.
I was much more physically exhausted,
Here, the chairs in lecture halls are just too comfy,
And the ability to skip work and go to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Castles Made of Sand Fall Into the Sea, Eventually or: Spring Break Hangover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here I am, Friday,
Still with a Spring Break hangover.
I just can&#8217;t seem to get on track,
And Spring Break&#8217;s long been over.
Aside from the bipolar weather,
I have no excuse.
And I don&#8217;t know whether
Spring Break was of any good use.
Yes, SXSW was fun; plenty of stories to share,
Yes, home was good, too; kinda wish I was still [...]]]></description>

		<title>20,000 Underneath the Sea or: The Week Before Spring Break&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My eyes are burning with the power of 10,000 suns
While I&#8217;m buried 20,000 under the sea that is UT.
My nose, faster than a speeding bullet,
My sneeze, more powerful that a locomotive.
Yet, I feel not like Superman,
But more like Kunta Kinte;
A slave to my studies,
Lost in my fortress of solitude that is Starbucks,
Fortified by Pandora,
Backed by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Devastation and Reform or: Bittersweet, You&#8217;re Gonna Be The Death of Me or: At Least I Had Fun With Her</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gravity&#8217;s always pullin&#8217; down on me,
And I resist as one who knows resistance is in vain.

Yet, I can&#8217;t say that this was anyone&#8217;s fault but my own,
And hopefully by the end of this semester I will have grown.
Hopefully I will understand
That things don&#8217;t always go as planned,
And failure is necessary.
I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll even [...]]]></description>

		<title>When I Wake Up In The Morning Love and The Sunshine Hurts My Eyes or: When You&#8217;re On a Roll, You&#8217;re On a Roll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I wake up in the morning love,
And then sunshine flutters in lightly from above,
I know somehow it&#8217;s gonna be a good day.

When I take the elevator down,
And not a pitiful soul around,
I know it&#8217;s gonna be okay.
When I get to Government and she sits next to me,
And says she&#8217;s happy she woke up early,
I [...]]]></description>
