Yakko's World, Thursday, Period 2
"Today," Yakko said, "we study the most important place to you on Earth. We're going to talk about here."
"Here can be anywhere as long as you're there. Right now, here is in this classroom. Later on, here might be your dorm room. That would be here now if we were having a room party instead of a lecture, but none of you invited me there, so you're all stuck here."
"Or we can get all metaphysical here, because it can be a state of mind. Here, I'm a teacher and an icon from the 90s reminding people of their youths. Here, you're students trying to make your way in the world and probably have your own drama."
"Here you are in a time and a place, here can be your mental space. Here is where we all are, but to you you're still here even if you've gone very far. It follows you around all day and all night, you can't escape it by car or by flight. Someone might tell you you're there, not here, but you know better, like you're a seer. Just remember this and you'll never be lost, even if you can't remember what roads you crossed. Wherever you stand, here you are. Now work on an essay... WORK! How bizarre! Grab a pen and paper and start to write, about where your here is, any answer's alright. Describe your here in a page or two, using words or pictures.... Well, anywhoo. Get started on your papers and get them done. And then after that, we can have some fun."
At the end of that Seussian dialogue,Yakko set up a countdown clock listing "COUNTDOWN TO FUN!" that would tick off as people finished.

Like that bloke at the malt shop this morning, who laughed at Ace's saddle shoes and asked if she was on her way to a sockhop.
Of course she wasn't; who went to a sockhop on a school day?
