Fields of gold or Thank you Sting

by Lauren Hoessly
05.06.2008

Today is a glorious day. I just finished an exam and am quickly typing a timeline due in two hours. I've got a grande caramel latte by my side and my headphones blare a familiar sound. I don't know how popular Sting is with my generation (or if people even think he's talented), but for me, Sting is awesome. Really. Usually I can't listen to music when I am working on the computer, but Sting's music is peaceful, interesting, and makes me type at rapid speeds (go figure). I guess it feels like my drug at this point- I almost can't function without it.

I will finish this paper by the end of "This Cowboy Song" and there will be much rejoicing (maybe even a little dancing). I hope your finals are going well, or if you're already done or are graduating- congrats! Just remember Sting next time you have a long paper and give him a try- honestly, who else can write a song called "Desert Rose" and it actually sound like a desert - is that even possible?

Yes. Only Sting.
