Remembering

[supergee]

My schooling followed the pattern of the Divine Comedy. Elementary school was Inferno, where I was trapped with the slow kids and my feelings. Prep school was Purgatorio, where I had to work but gained salvation from it. Swarthmore was Paradiso, but it turned into the Garden from which I was expelled by an angel with the flaming sword of graduation.

Oh, my... I couldn't call it the same storyline, but that's one of the best summaries of how I feel about having to leave schooling.

(And now I find myself consumed with the thought of how Dante would have felt about a tour of paradise before being dumped back on earth?)
