Meredith

A cute black thing, all neat and tidy on my desk 

It has a nifty water component- easy to reassemble 

I haven’t gotten to know it well, I’ve poured 3 cups so far

One to get things going 

One for my mom 

And one for me

I’m looking forward to my first discussion with the machine tomorrow morning.

However, I’m still getting used to the sounds outside, and the coldness of my dorm again

Being hopeful is easy when there is no other choice 

I can’t remove my excitement though 

It’s a new year, and a new friend
