Writing Rockets

This week we took a nap on a magic bed.....


I dreamed of a school where....

we can party anytime we want
money flew and you could catch it and go to the coffee shop
lessons only last 1 second
they use magic
residential trips are 1 month long
the pencils do all the writing for me
the teachers give us the answers to tests
