As you walk into the windowless classroom you are reminded of [[a dungeon]] [[a glorious place of learning]]Rather than a gloroius place of learning, you see implements of torture- books and paper and OMG JOURNALS!!!! [[you run out screaming]] [[you take a seat]]. Even though there are no windows, the place looks pleasant enough. You see books, paper and other implements of writing and standing at the front of the room you see [[an evil crone]] [[a pleasantly plump woman with a mischievious glint in her eye]]She laughs menacingly muwh ha ha ha! and directs you to your seat. Her evil glare seems to penetrate your soul and you begin to sweat profusely. Your breathing comes in short ragged gasps and [[you realize]]While she looks mischievious (and believe me at times she is) she also really wants you to learn to be a good writer, a good student and to be successful in life. She'll work you hard, punctuated with [[fun times]]! The year will be punctuated with music, laughter, slightly off-color jokes and the like. Basically your teacher often has the [[sick humor]] of an 8th grade boy.... You are trapped in this dismal dungeon of "learning". This will be the most miserable year of your life. You decide to [[you run out screaming]] [[stay! Hey how bad can it be?!]]Remind me to tell my pirate joke..... but I digress ultimately no windows, evil crone, implements of writing torture or pleasantly plump mischevious woman, and yeah, still no windows and tons of writing fun.... Why don't you [[stay! Hey how bad can it be?!]] And really that's the point to this story- how bad can it be? As bad as YOU make it. That's how bad! YOUR attitude makes a big difference in how things go this year. You can see it as [[a dungeon]] or [[a glorious place of learning]] It's up to you! There is no escape! Education is required by law until you are 18! MUWHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!! [[you take a seat]] While the room is brightly lit, the lack of windows casts a pallor about the room. Pallor? What the heck is pallor? It's the grisly white complexion of [[an evil crone]] its just a stupid adjective and hey, look there's [[a pleasantly plump woman with a mischievious glint in her eye]] standing at the front of the room!
