On night school and ridiculous trifles
It was odd to be learning something again, but there was a certain lightheartedness in the process, as if we had shed some of the intervening years since schooldays. We laughed inordinately at the smallest jokes, finding something amusing in the most ridiculous trifles, and when we were actually given homework it seemed the funniest thing of all.
