Writer's Block: Back to School

[Error: unknown template qotd]

In real life, High School was a prison I was only too happy to escape and never want to return to. But in fiction... it's a different story.

1. Hadleigh Heights in The Mrs Bradley Mysteries:, "Night At the Opera". Because the place was in the 1920s, an era I love. And because all the beautiful girls were either messing about with each other or with their music teacher, played by David Tennant. Okay by me.
   
   
2. The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning or Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in X-Men. I'd be mutant, and meet other interesting mutants, and my teachers would be cool people like Scott Summers, Emma Frost and Storm.

I can relate to that about high school. Even now, if I am feeling trapped in a situation, I often dream about high school, often with extra bonus cyclone fences and barbed wire.

The Xavier Institute is an excellent idea. I like the idea of St Trinian's, personally (I, er, quite like gym slips on other people), although more the book one than the movie one.

I can relate. Though I'm more likely to give it a twist of accomplishment-anxiety: the exam not studied for, being lost and unable to find a classroom I should be in, lost or forgotten assignments.... Ugh.

I never did those things, but I must have had a fear of doing them.

Yes!
