Orange You Glad?

Corny jokes are one of my specialties, even though they aren't as appreciated as you might think.
I was picturing today as being one of those crisp fall days. I wanted to wear a striped sweater, and be all comfy, and I was in the mood for apple cider. But it wasn't meant to be.
See, today's Orange day was orange like...a traffic cone, or a reflector thing on a bike, and it was just a tad bit in-my-face. I realized I needed to change my outlook on this whole Junior year thing, and fast, or I am going to start off running and then fly off the edge of the "Cliff of Failure" somewhere around January.
Okay! So, my problems are, as follows:
PROCRASTINATION
I can't remember the last time I sat down when I got home and actually did my homework. Because let's face it, there's this beautiful thing out there called the *Internet* and it's got it's silvery gates spread wide as soon as I turn on my laptop. Now I know everyone procrastinates, and it shouldn't bother me, because I'm not as bad as some people, but there's anther little issue.
I HATE STUDYING

It is a wonder, a miracle I have been as fortunate in school as I am. I never really study. I'll try to study for science, but basically I flip through notes, do the worksheets, and pray I remember everything. And math...okay, I think it's been proven that you cannot study for math. Besides all that, there are some other pressing issues.
FOOD
Food, glorious food...Sorry, I told you there'd be theater here. Today I ate REALLY kind of healthy. I had an apple. And a banana. And a fiber/protein bar. But then there was pizza for dinner and it all went to pieces.

So, now that I've had all these epiphanies, I'd like to praise TLC for making yet ANOTHER reality TV show that we don't need but love anyway. That's right, I'm talking about Breaking Amish. 
a) I thought the Amish were supposed to be nice, but these girls seem just as catty as any other girl on television and real life. 
b) I also was under the impression that the Amish were allowed to leave for a year to discover themselves and have the illusion of being rebellious. Did these four already leave and come back, and now are heading out into the world again? Are they really that indecisive?
and
c) They're in the city now. Why not put on some new clothes? Are they washing them every night...or are they as shocked at the prices of detergent as they were at those of the steaks? I guess I'll have to stay tuned and find out.

Alright, I really wanted to share some more writing, and even though it's another poem-and I used to stay clear of all poetry-this is also my character bio for the show. I picked a name for my fairy! Amaryllis:) I love how it sounds, and I bet it'll be a lot nicer as a character name and NOT the name of one of my future daughters. I apologize as this one is just as corny and rhyming, but some people found it cute. Enjoy!

Amaryllis am I, and I am a fairy

Dainty and light, and allergic to dairy

I do have a sister; they call her Tink or Bell

If you know Peter Pan, you must know her well

This sister of mine is in quite the fix

She’s trapped in Hook’s ship with a lock and no picks

So it’s into the woods that I must fly

Trying to be valiant, and never to cry

For as a small fairy I can get very scared

But I’ve brought some of my friends, they’re always prepared

My sister does need me—though she is quite the floozy

And the thought of a giant does make me quite woozy

Into the woods without delay

And hoping not to lose my way

A compass, a map, I think I’m all ready

Though I dare say my wings aren’t so steady

I’ll fly into the woods to save Tinkerbelle

And get my adventures written in a story, as well
