Last Day
Tomorrow marks the end of classes. Then we'll have a short reading period before final exams. What an exhausting semester. I swear that I will do things differently next semester. I don't know how exactly, but I have an idea. I'm thinking of selling some books. Buy-back is going on now.

Remember
by Christina Rosetti
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day.
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
