5 paragraph essay

I have to write one. I was supposed to do it today, but I kind of slacked off and only did one assignment...
I got a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition! My first graphing calculator ever. I'm pretty late by Tallahassee standards. Everyone else got theirs in middle school... I don't see why you'd need on in Algebra I or Geometry, though.
I almost want to go back to school because weekends are so boring. At least I'd get to see my friends AND do homework. But I'll have lots more homework with school.
I found a poem for Poetry Out Loud. I don't know if my English teacher will let me chose it. It's not very long, but I didn't think length was a factor for how she's grading us. I haven't finished memorizing Shakespeare, though. I've only memorized about four lines... Yes, I'm procrastinating. I get it from my old younger bro.
Here's the poem. It makes me really sad:

Ways of Talking

BY HA JIN
We used to like talking about grief
Our journals and letters were packed
with losses, complaints, and sorrows.
Even if there was no grief
we wouldn’t stop lamenting
as though longing for the charm
of a distressed face.

Then we couldn’t help expressing grief
So many things descended without warning:
labor wasted, loves lost, houses gone,
marriages broken, friends estranged,
ambitions worn away by immediate needs.
Words lined up in our throats
for a good whining.
Grief seemed like an endless river—
the only immortal flow of life.

After losing a land and then giving up a tongue,
we stopped talking of grief
Smiles began to brighten our faces.
We laugh a lot, at our own mess.
Things become beautiful,
even hailstones in the strawberry fields.
