9 How lazy he is, my dorm roommate
9 Doing his homework is what he hates
9 He is always sleeping on the bed
9 What I can see is only his head
9 When I tell him to do his homework
9 He always tells me he has no work
9 However, when he is in the class
9 He is always staring at the grass
9 Thinking about the one girl he likes
9 he thinks about her likes and dislikes
9 noticing his sad reality
9 this adds to his abnormality
9 sure, he is different from others
9 which really worries his grand mother
9 despite his unique mentality
9 he has the best personality
