Neuroscientist Schedule
By: Sophie Martel
    When I was younger I believed I could become a neurosurgeon, I thought, that sounds cool, that’s my goal in life.

The alarm is screaming at me, continually beeping it's mildly anger inducing message into my head. I have to get up. When I wake up, I wake up like an angry pikachu.

My craziest dream is not to walk on the moon, 
or even to become a famous singer. 
All I want in this instant, 
the future I imagine for myself 
that I’m excited to work towards,
is to live in Sweden. 

I am very good at snowboarding, dancing, running, drumming, acting and most things that I do.

Hello YWP people,
I haven't written in so long! I'm hoping to write a lot of poems in September as opposed to August where I wrote almost nothing :). 

the stools near the windows ;
lightbulbs dangling from chords above the counters, shining their soft light ;
plants in their pots, their tendrils hanging down ;
brick-and-wood aesthetic ;

today,
i went to an art gallery.

i've never been super into art.
it all just was paintings and brush swirls to me.
but today
i started seeing it a little differently.

there was an art piece where a woman became tools.

I love you because you always care,
Even when your friends are around.
Because you can make me laugh so hard I cry,
Even if I'm upset.
Because you understand me,

The stock market (what’s not to love about a ton of numbers that have to do with America’s economy? ;) )

Jane Austen (I would make everyone read her books if I could, so I would have someone to debate with about them)

Today I am special
Today I am funny
Today I cross fingers 
 that it will be sunny
Today I am thanked 
Today I am unique 
Today I am
The only person they need
Today I am happy

I had to trust that I would wake up that morning and be ready to go.
I had to trust that the long car ride would be fun.
I had to trust that my CD's wouldn't melt or something in the hot car.
