Dear Sorbonne,

I took a 10 credit course with you

Hoping to help my French
I sat through you each day
In a room
That smelled of
body odor

Ms. Shwan
you gave me as a professor
A woman who purchased her clothing
at museum shops
Found great amusement
in destroying my desires
to speak French

You gave me one exam
that would determine if
I would pass your course
One exam lasting three hours
of my life
50% survive

Dear Sorbonne,
I believe I proved Ms. Shawn wrong!

With great happiness,
M.
