Yeah, well, it really does set the mood for the day when your first period teacher addresses you as "Worm Babies" and proceeds to talk about the history of Rome, refering to "sassy leopards" and describing how Gaius Marcius and Lucius Sulla were the "Dynamic Duo of Ancient Rome, except with less spandex and more toga action".
It is, to say the least, a fascinatingly bizarre class.
