Academia III

Academia only you could take the fun out of bubbles.
Yes bubbles.

You see in the realm of academia bubbles only appear on Scrantons.
tiny light bubbles that look like wine glasses
which must be filled with 3 gallons of number 2 lead fully and exactly with no spills
the darkness must be contained in one circle and you must spend 2 minutes cleaning if it spills over

The imaginary clocks are ticking. Ticking!
while pens are click click clicking
the percussion breaks the deadly silence of ignorance and makes it bearable

and then the sniffle symphony starts
everyone in the testing area has a cold or a moderate allergic reaction to the air conditioning system
all sequenced perfectly as if they had been rehearsing it during the long hours or studying (or procrastinating)

Only after the teacher's silencing spell
the room becomes silent again.
The scratching of pencils and nervous breath can overpower
the sound of that final test.  The feeling that time it going to end before you figure out all the answers.

Your education means nothing.
Your intelligence is low
your wisdom is peripheral

My teacher prepared me well for the exam and I worked hard.

Your education means nothing.
Your intelligence is low
your wisdom is peripheral

Okay maybe i watched more TV then textbook
but I still worked hard in class
i will do well on this test

Your education means nothing.
Your intelligence is low
your wisdom is peripheral

but...



The test is over 6 empty bubbles and a missing paragraph for the essay.'
There is no redemption there is no "well you gave it your best"
There is only failure. ONLY failure.

Seppuku

seems appealing but instead of swords try hugs and pat yourself on the back for taking a hard class in the first place.
You noble warrior have not lost your honor.
