IN IN-HOUSE 7:55 a.m. — Enter In-House, just a little late. Mr. Wilson greets me, goes over a few rules (briefly) and then seats me next to him (on his immediate right) at a rather large table. 8:15 a.m. — Mr. Wilson reads me my official rights. I thank him and insure him we have a “communication”; and that I understand. I even get a 3-minute potty pass (whenever I choose to take it!! Isn’t that incredible! Such liberties I enjoy. 8:21 a.m. — I hear footsteps behind me; too light for Mr. Humble, too hard for Mr. Rubbersoles, I mean, Mr. Wilson. It is, of course, Mr. Gates — Der Kommissar. Checking up on my interests and packing gifts: light green construction paper and some crayons. I must be dreaming! This is much too good to be true! 8:50 a.m. — First hour is over. One hour! I soon will have new surroundings, objectively speaking, as a new batch of eyes will see me in my corner. I did finish one picture. But, sadly enough, there was an accident — my blue crayon tumbled off the corner of my desk and fell, smashing on the ground. 9:17 a.m. — Oh, decisions decisions — should I take my potty break now — or should I wait? What the heck, I’ll be a reckless maniac and go for it now! 9:30 a.m. — Gosh! It was so nice on the outside. I wasn’t sure if I could cope out there anymore but, I felt good. 9:48 a.m. — The bell! Second hour is over! One more to go — and geeze — I missed THg, what a tragedy. BOO HOO. 10:28 — I believe I am down to my last twenty minutes. Twenty more minutes of silence. Twenty more minutes of boredom. Twenty more minutes of my fanny stuck to this chair; cramped, uncomfortable, asleep. (Not me — my fanny). I have counted ceiling tiles, I have drawn with crayons, I have followed cracks in the walls which I directly face. But soon, soon I will be free! I wanna be free — like the bluebird. 10:44 — This ain’t Disney Land. 10:45 — This day will live with me for years to come. I won’t soon forget what happened here today. But until that day, I’ll stop and remember my little corner of the study hall and I might smile. 10:48 — The bells rings — Rodger Dodger waves goodbye and my term has ended. 10—Studying
