She felt compelled to pick up the pencil. When she did, it started...
the test appeared before her as if by magic, and as if by magic, she knew all the answers. She walked out of there like she was on a cloud. She got very hungry and grabbed a nearby apple. She was pretty sure she was meant to eat the apple. The man was shaking his head at her. She couldn't believe it either. He shared her disbelief! So many tall buildings.

She slept.

When she awoke the next morning, she immediately felt worried. Sure, she'd done a lot of weed before, and even taken a lot of tests while high, but this was the first one that mattered. The logical part of her brain said, "don't mess with success. You've been high through most of college. You'll be high most of the time while you're teaching. You should take the test while high." But now that it was over, she was worried worried worried worried.

She called her mom to commiserate. Her mom didn't answer. Her mom was a hippie from way back, and totally got it. Jessica was more of a new hippie, with a psychedelic instagram and flowing skirts that she wore to bonnaroo two and bought from etsy. They shared a love of weed, though. That was probably the

“Did you hear that Mike called the company president an asshole?" he said.
He was wearing a starched collar. Who wears starched collars? Here she was at another fundraiser, listening to the yuppies and just the older urban professionals try to make racy small talk. She could tell them about galaxies, but galaxies don't make profits. GOD. There was the superintendent, schmoozing the classist, racist, sexist "company president". And all of this for what? So that actual school funds wouldn't get diverted from the english and foreign languages and art departments to the soccer field. Soccer was making a comeback, and she liked soccer well enough, but they should just fund the whole dang thing without making servants of workers and trotting them out to be witty for dull rich people. and honestly, these rich people were the same people who had been funding campaigns to defund schools for ages. There was Broad, who got the title of most hypocritical, because they (eli and edi) were big charter school boosters... but they were in the charter school gang because for years they had been making money off the backs of workers and not paying, in her opinion at least, nearly enough in taxes to actually make effective public schools.

Maintenance is required, clearly. Every school needs a budget. No matter how high you go up the ladder not how high you get on weed, you have to acknowledge that. But it is not the public school system's fault that buildings go unmaintained or that teacher turnover is high. Giving power to unelected officials may get individuals to donate more, but that's not how our society's educations system should-!

She stopped herself. She just needed to make it quietly through this party, then she could go back to teaching kids how to be engaged citizens and ultimately change the world. Of course, the- ugh. no she was just getting frustrated again. What what what what what can she do? What can she really do? This is a question for you. What can she do??? What can she do? What can we do? What can we do? What can we do? What can we do?

Now I'm thinking about the blah blah blah that I could write. The point isn't, of course, that you'll write that for five minutes, but that that's an option, and if you start to do it, eventually you'll have another thought that you can get out. You just have to let yourself become aware of it. It might not be the thought you want, like, "how can I solve all of society's problems", but it's a thought, and that's the whole point of freewriting. You put the thoughts out there. They don't have to all be golden. That
