i wrote this back in late winter, but i wrote it concerning when i started at a new high school...it doesnt quite compile, but it's the best i could do. at least it conveys the right idea.
#!/usr/bin/perl use School; $i = new School; $i->go_to("school"); my $teachers = $i->hate(); my $peers = $i->am("hated"); $i->wish($i->go_to("home ") or $i->go_to("anywhere but here")); $time = $i->have_been("here"); $discontent = $i->am("unhappy"); while($i->am("bored")) { $time++; $discontent++; if($i->hear("bell") { last; } } $i->go_to("home ") and $i->prepare_for("another day" => "hell");
