Ms. Beth Watson: I would imagine a TAC student would have to be very special. Why did you choose this school?
Well, Beth [fake smile, tugging on faux pearl chanel earrings] I was determined to hate it [delicate sigh] i really was. yea. the rules, the students, the pat-ri-ar-chal cur-ric-u-lum, the location, everything. but i find that some of the rules are easily breakable [light laugh], some i actually LIKE, that the students are some of the most INTENSE and CHARITABLE people i will ever meet, that the curriculum is spun out of pure TRUTH GOODNESS AND BEAUTY [pause to squish a spider with toe of alligator seven-strap shoe.] and, where was i . . . oh and living in the lush mountains of southern california, forty five minutes from Los Angeles and EVERYTHING IT HAS TO OFFER, really ain't that bad!!!!
Ms. Beth Watson: In what way do your classes -- which focus mostly on old books -- address current inssues? If they do, give an example.

Chapter 6
some of the questions that I am being asked for an ISI guide, regarding my school:
Are the strict rules for opposite sex room visitation, alcohol, and drugs commonly broken? Do you find your classmates bright and interesting? In what ways do your classes -- which focus mostly on old books -- address current issues? Describe the relationship between sexes on campus.
I am currently having a meltdown. I don't know how to answer these questions. Every answer I attempt, flattering or damning to the school, feels like a lie.
