you can put it off, you can check out the refrigerator, call your friends but in the end there ' s no way to avoid hitting the books When one thinks about academics - the first thought that comes to mind is books and homework and long boring papers that are enough to drive even the most civil person insane. But . . . there was a less painful, more enjoyable side to this awful subject of academics. And this shall be a painless introduction into the world of unexplored, exciting academics. There were some classes in existence such as occupational education, work study, science classes, computer classes, and so on, all of which did not evolve totally from, or revolve totally around a text book. Unless, of course, filet-of-text was made in cooking class, or ionic text books were created by some mad chemist. Things did just not work that way. There was much more freedom in these classes, and the students were subjected to a different learning atmosphere. Being in classes of this sort usually proved beneficial to those who were in them. Instead of sitting in a chair immobilized for approximately 40 minutes, allowing only eyeball movement and hand movement, students could stand up and move around like normal, functioning human beings. These subjects gave teachers the wonderful opportunity to do something in class other than lecture and watch a room full of mad note-takers as they spoke. This was not an enthralling activity for either of the involved parties. You have now had your introduction to academics, and you may not proceed to finding out what hidden secrets lie in the depths of this topic. Turn the page. academics 27
