The Backgroud to THIS: A Wonderful Adventure....

Well, I've written a fairly long research paper in High School, but i didn't get a very good grade at all. In fact, I failed the class in that grading period, but whatever. I hated the teacher with a fiery passion. My other research paper was on the architecture of cathedrals in the middle ages. I related it to modern architecture using specific examples in the Pittsburgh area. She only read the first page of what was 15 or so pages. I didn't think that was very fair. This led to one of my past "great adventures." Due to my angry state i failed to complete my oral presentation and skipped class for a couple of days in order to avoid her presence. People now call a repetition of my actions a "pulling a Mark." So although in some peoples eyes those days will live in infamy, to my friends I am a renown hero. A hero ready to set off on a new adventure...
