MUSE: Look at what we have this week – a school snap.
TANNILLE: Ugh, flash back. School was crap enough the first time round. All those ridiculous rules.
MUSE: As I recall, rules were made for breaking.
TANNILLE: Had to pass the time somehow. You were climbing the walls, trying to break free.
MUSE: Never been so bored in all our life. The repetition…
TANNILLE: Passing notes was kind of fun. Kept you amused.
MUSE: Until you got caught.
TANNILLE: I didn’t get caught…
MUSE: Your note.
TANNILLE: Yeah, made the science teacher go red. Thanks for that.
MUSE: Ah, good times.
You seem to be in very good contact with your muse. You must let me know how that’s done.

Dear Tanille,
Now there’s a muse who keeps score. I got caught passing notes more than once myself. 😉
Shalom,

Getting away with it was part of the fun. Getting caught not so much. Although, some teachers would read them out to the class. Often that would be amusing.
Thanks R!

Your Muse might be a bit snashy, Tannille, but at least she talks to you!
And she is pretty entertaining too…

Huh. For the most part, I enjoyed school. Exceptions: Physics, Chemistry, and gym class!
I know my husband would agree with you, though. School was torture for a child with ADD 70+ years ago, when it wasn’t even named yet and got no sympathy at all.

I hated school. Sit down, shut-up, do your work. Yet, I loved university and the learning structure of lectures and assignments.
School would have been hell for your husband.
Thanks L!

One of the best ways to get the muse going is boredom!

One time, a girl in my class got caught copying my homework. She was crying in class. I actually felt bad for her. I didn’t even care about the homework. I had a huge crush on her.

I had an English teacher that disliked me and never changed her class from year to year. My bbf did her class the year before and gave me her essays. One time I tested the teacher and copied the BBF’s essay and handed it in as my own. BBF got and A+, I got a Ç. Bias confirmed lol.

I DID NOT like grade school one bit. Too much catty-girl stuff going on. Hard to break free from the nun’s watchful eyes.
