Competition seems like a fine idea
Healthy, and conducive to real progress
Ah, but there’s a test for gonorrhea
Let not the test, per se, the mind obsess;
Look instead for the chance to overcome
Each part of your current, risible self
Never fixate on the test’s mere outcome
Get on with it: the book’s not on the shelf
Each one that is can overcome itself

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.

You are a tank! I haven't even started yet...reading this on a break. I will have evenings. We'll see how much energy I have left over. Great title btw... gonorrhea, huh? Okay, okay, I will admit you sure did "get on with it". I'll muster up my own Scholarly Transmitted Draft soon!
That was quite informative
Oooo, I learnt a new word today, risible. Loved your Acrostic!
Wow it's a nice challenge.
