As the day starts I sit on top of papers and textbooks in complete darkness.  

I sit quietly with my friend who is connected to me like glue.

I wait and wait until the annoying noise that comes on every day at six in the morning.

I wish I could do something to stop that noise.

As I see my owner slowly wake up, I get ready to start the day. 

I wait while my owner gets dressed so we can go out.

My owner unplugs my friend and grabs me. 

Puts me into a sleeve in his black backpack that he carries with him.

As my owner zips up the zipper I say my final goodbye to the light.

I patiently wait in darkness until my owner has reached his destination.

As time passes I hear a zipper open and then a giant hand coming towards me.

I’m finally free and I say hello to the outside world.

As my owner opens me up and logs into his classes.

I can feel him typing away on my keys and clicking on my touchpad.

But this experience only lasts about forty minutes.

Until I am once again put back into the sleeve of darkness.

And then back to square one.

The trip isn’t long until I am again reunited with the outside.
