Wren's Back to School Contest

Wren looks to be ready for college... The question comes to mind: "Is college ready for Wren?" That was my own question when I started college. Fitting in and playing nice isn't really a redundant comment on any (surviving) records of my formative college prep years. The prison known as high school at least fostered a common rebel attitude amongst the student body. That was totally gone in college. You had to pay to be there so you wanted to go to class and progress against real academic challenges. That being the attitude shift, I found it a wonderful change in my life: getting to know people instead of just having a common oppression.

That first semester was about the most fun time I ever had in my life: the people I was talking to and the subjects we would fearlessly discuss and debate made every party a must do. Parties would disperse near sunrise most nights...concerts and group-movies, gallery showings and critiques, poetry readings in the park, drama rehearsals stretching the midweek nights into glorious evenings indeed...ahhhhh...

Anyway, this brings me to the worst memory of my college years. I had been having such a good time learning what college was all about, I had forgotten how important it was to actually attend college. It was a horrible immediate shock to be on academic probation after my first semester there. My advisor was a friend of my dad's so that went really well lemeetellya, and I can't really say the moral of the experience was that I shouldn't have done the things I did instead of going to class. I wouldn't trade a single memory of that first semester. Funny how the worst moments of your experience sometimes also are the best of your experience.

So what are some of your worst and/or best memories of school - got any?
