The other day I finally got some time to sit down and take a look at my agenda. It seemed interesting enough and I was quite happy with myself for having filled in my daily work in the appropriate area.
It all seemed to be working fine and dandy, but then it happened. I turned to page 27 and read the study tip to myself. It stated, "If you don't understand something, ask a question."
"Easy enough," I thought, and decided to give it a go. So I placed the agenda in front of me (so that the agenda was sure to hear me) and began.
"Mr. Agenda," I said "why are all students at W. F. West required to use you? Shouldn't we at least have the option to choose? I mean, no offense, but I know a few of my friends are going to treat you like crap or even worse, not even use you."
I think at that point I stumped him, because he never did answer me. So much for useful study tips, or at least those on page 27.
But now I was really interested in finding out the answer to my question and yet my agenda could help me no further. I was lost without his help. I had no where to turn and my life was falling into ruin. Ruin that is, until I remembered that for the past three years I had done just fine without the use of my new found friend, Mr. Agenda.
So I did what I had always done in the past and turned on old Mr. Brain. He was happy to see I was still getting some good use out of him and was glad to help. He suggested that it must have been some sort of mistake that all students were forced to use an agenda, because after all, we do live in a democracy.
But then I remembered a quote from one of those really nifty English teachers at W. F. West, "We learn about democracy at school, we don't practice it."
At this Mr. Brain and I both became really quite upset and decided we would protest by not bringing our agenda to school the next day. This plan was going really well until 6th period, when due to the lack of my agenda I was unable to get a hall pass and use the bathroom. My bladder will never forgive me for that one.
So now I bring Mr. Agenda to school with me each and every day no matter what, because after all, isn't democracy overrated anyway?
