hot scorching fire
room B101 relieves me from the blistering sun

I know no one
so I sit in the corner
the back corner
and pull out my laptop.
Susan enlightens me 
with her wisdom
and assigns a set of APTs.
I do not know how to make a pydev module in eclipse
but I learn
for her.

crimson leaves, falling
B101 still calling

my friends now accompany me
in my corner.
but only one person was there for me from the beginning
Susan Rodger.
the APTs are getting harder
but I can't give up.
I won't give up.

the trees are bare now, the wind is biting
B101's a warm home

it is the last lecture.
I struggle to hold back my tears.
as I sit in my corner 
I wonder
where would I be right now without this course?
I don't know.

my journey is over.
I never will get to do an APT again
never test an APT
never submit an APT
never have the rush of endorphins from seeing an all green APT

what do I do now?
