Today is probably going to be a regular day,” Tom said into his Record-a-Thought as he hopped out of bed.  He opened the safety safe with his code and swallowed his Becon Pill.  If you want to know what I think about the safe listen up, I think that the safes are helpful to parents because it won’t let you take more than one a meal but, I think that Becon Pills are atrocious” said Tom into his recorder.  If you didn’t already know I’m doing a report for my 5th rank teacher on “what my life is like.”  Tom put on his hover shoes, which help kids get to school a lot faster because the traffic is impossible to get through.  “The only thing you have to worry about is the nuclear batteries in the shoes exploding, but that only happens if you keep the battery in the shoes when it is running low.  They usually buzz or vibrate in the last week of battery life”, said Tom.  Tom got to school around 10:00.  School last 10 o’clock P.M to, 5 o’clock A.M.  “School is so late because everything we do at home like chores and homework should be done during the early morning so it sticks to your head all day long” Tom said. 

          Tom ran to his first period class, signed in on the digital board, and ran to his learning room.  “Learning rooms are lined up in rows of six in the classroom.  There are usually three rows of them.  They are about two yardsticks wide and three yardsticks high.  Closter phobic kids usually get ones with windows.  Kids that are really overweight get double-size boxes.  Learning boxes have a vid-window and a teacher board.  The vid-window is a live interaction program broadcasted from the teachers box in the front of the room.  After she goes through the lesson with all the pupils she does closed circuit with each kid, to see what they need help with.  If the kid ever falls asleep or doesn’t pay attention when she is on the screen, the pupil ether gets water sprayed in his face, a horn blown, or a pinch.  This is all done by the teacher board.  You see, the teacher has little television screens in here box and a board.  She can look over all the kids and…” “Ohhh my gosh!” the teacher screamed.  “Everyone turn of your vid windows and lock your doors.  Put the curtain over your windows!”  A shady figure was strutting through the room with a gun.  He shot one of the boxes, but they were each made of one inch of titanium and another inch of steel.  He tried to open the teacher’s door and shoot her but the door had three bolts on it, and it wouldn’t budge.  The shady figure gave up and walked out of the room. “About thirty minutes later the principal came over the intercom and announced that it was okay to put up our vid-windows and un-lock our doors. No one in school was hurt because of the learning boxes.” Tom said gratefully.  “Maybe today wasn’t such an ordinary day,” said Tom.
