To sum it up, the usual bag of tricks consists of: going to class + taking tests + chasing the opposite sex + recreation + earning spending money + pretending to be interested in joining clubs + observing society + hanging out. The first seven constitute eighty percent of your waking hours. I don’t even know how to explain what goes on that eighty percent of the time. I could go on and on, and still never get to the last one: hanging out. You just have to gather all the tools you can—as if in preparation to outsmart life itself—and keep them in that overstuffed bag of tricks.
