An Ode to Grad School

I wanted you, worked hard
So many highs and lows
Years of rejection and nights left wondering

You said you'd be mine
And my heart overflowed
Visions of happiness, dreams fulfilled
I was so eager, so impatient to know
All your secrets
There was so much to learn

So I took an extra class,
And then another
And now all I do is dream of summer
