Well, felt a lot better today then
yesterday though still had some ups and downs with my med side
effects. I thought it was an improvement on getting used to the med
side effects, but I had more seizures. Ah, well, this epilepsy thing
is really unpredictable, but I think that temporary medical leave
from school was a wise idea. Today's story was really fun to write
and is already one of my favorites. I think you'll like it.
A Future Test
The teacher who was tired and beat from
grading took a look a the last test handed in that week. It was from
one of his favorite students, a hard worker and good transfer student
from Mars. The handwriting of the student was clear and neat.

Directions: Give a quick summary of the
novella The Old Pains and Rusts of Earth
and the author's intent as discussed in class. Add one comment on the
novella after your summary.
The Old Pains
and Rusts of Earth is a satirical historical novella set in the year
2012 about a man and the old technology of Earth. The author uses the
struggles with the technology of that age to show us how truly lucky
we are. It shows the pains of the character driving to work everyday
instead of warping, his unorganized communication through chatrooms
and email, non-instantaneous food and other old age technology.
When I read this book I can't believe something as scary as
“stairs” could exist. How could somebody walk like that? I think
I'd get dizzy and throw up.
