fake plastic trees

let me pose a question.


what do you get when you mix together a musician, a seed, and an assignment to make the seed grow?


let me give you the answer-


a sad musician, a dead seed, and a failed assignment.

haha k so unfortunately this is a true story. for my marriage and family class, I was asked to grow this seed and keep it alive all semester. sadly, for me, my baby seed never even sprouted! 


i am reminded of a radiohead song, "fake plastic trees." 
(my entire radiohead repertoire has to be completely credited to my friend McKay.)
(ignore the weird... i mean creative... album cover...)

so, as far as this assignment is concerned, i get another chance. do you think my teacher would notice if i... maybe just... took a little different approach? isn't college about expanding my horizons? 


or branching out? (pun completely intended.)

hmm. maybe not my best idea.
