Back to Senior's Page Return to Creative Writing Home Page
| Shelby Tucker is a 2nd year creative writing major. But this is her first (and sadly last) year in the program. Because she is graduating (otherwise she wouldn't be on this page). She previously was a Band major where she spent 3 wonderful years under a delightfully short director. She played Flute and Bassoon, and loved every second of it, but loves writing more. She is in love with Hugh Jackman, and wants to become a journalist for the off chance that she might get to interview him, and actually touch his hand. One can dream. Her likes include long walks on the beach, candle light diners over looking the ocean, reading, writing (big shocker huh?) and listening to music. Her dislikes include body odor, rancid milk, and wet dog. And in case you don't pick up a yearbook (for shame) here are her senior quotes: "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia" -Charles Schultz "Faults aren't things for hiding on a shelf. And if you like who I am now, it's only a reflection of yourself" -Peter Allen "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus" -Hogwarts Motto For 4 years Shelby has enjoyed the laughter and happiness that comes with being a student at DSA. She is eternally grateful, and will forever miss and love everyone that has influenced her stay here (you know who you are). To all her fellow seniors, we're almost done, and will soon embark on the scariest journey of our entire lives. Remember your roots when you become rich and famous, and I better get a nod in all of your novels!!! | |

My Brain in a Nutshell
bt Shelby Tucker
I can hear the music in my head
But I can’t play them in my lessons
I haven’t practiced all week
And I just can’t seem to move my feet
To catch my bus to go to school
Where I will be ridiculed
Because I like that boy over there
And I haven’t applied to any colleges
I sometimes feel like my friends are annoyed with me
I feel like my parents would be better off with out me
It keeps me up at night and I can’t sleep
With this war in Iraq and I can’t keep my feet
On the ground
I’m always flying around town
With chores for my parents and errands to run
And I haven’t applied to any colleges
I’m part of a class that is losing interest
Jessica Simpson is not so intelligent
I worry that I’ll be smart and not making money
While she’s got her own show but is really a dummy
And I haven’t applied to any colleges
My room isn’t clean
And my homework’s not done
I can’t go outside and have any fun
The world’s population is so gargantuan,
It’s not getting smaller
Should I have children, and live in a mansion?
A suicide bomb left a family motherless
My problems are so small compared to what theirs is
And I haven’t applied to any colleges
What will happen when I’m 23?
Will my mom have a grandkid to bounce on her knee?
Will I get married, or be alone
With 20 cats and a bachelors degree
But I haven’t applied to any colleges
