[wintertime]

School was largely a waste of time for me; and not a small amount of time either.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By October I had **memorized** by textbooks. ( Literally!) And...We were punished if we were caught surreptitiously reading a book hidden under the lip of the desk.

My memories of school is like looking out on a vast,and unending plain of unmitigated boredom.

I deeply resented the waste of life that I spend marinating in the depths of stupefaction and ignorance in my elementary and most of high schools.

I guess I touched a raw nerve!
