Study Hall Hitter Pillows

The Giamatti era

'Dr Hodges, here, is from England and he's been observing us for 14 years. Mr Ferrell, an American, has been here only 3 weeks. Monique Corveu, from Paris, has practically been living with us for about nine years...'

"Eventually, you have to stop visualizing yourself doing well on the test, and actually do the test."

"You know what happens when you make good grades? They send you to another school called college."

Good luck with all the revision...

"I've outgrown my backpack."

Congratulations! All that cramming paid off.

'Before you give us your surprise test, could we have a surprise study period?'

Don't you hate...

John Barth wrote "Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story." That he did, little buddy. But what if a person spends most of his life watching tv, films, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, etc? What if my -- I mean, this person's -- life story is watching other people's life stories? Does that make other people the hero of this person's story? Sometimes I don't know where I end and Kanye begins. That'd be somewhere around Kim Kardashian.

Final Exams Tip

"We started learning about units of measurement in math class, but I don't really understand it, so I've got an acre of homework to do."

Waiting for the results.

Well done, I hear you hit your target. Yes, a week for two in Hawaii.

"Do you have the 'Oxford Companion to Michael Jackson'?"

Sign by school library reads: 'Passing Lane'

'Mum, Dad, I've downgraded my academic forecast.'

"In my first creation I made man introspective, peaceful and considerate. It was sooo boring."

Good luck with all the revision!!!

'Enforcing the publish or perish rule, Dean McWit?'

"Each day, they come home from school, get their homework out and crack on with it. Apparently, it's the latest craze."

'Now look what you've done. I told you that I wanted a fair fight... making fun of his trunks is hitting below the belt.'
