Schooldays

Other alumni of Sunnydale High and Miskatonic University might be interested to know that these are now listed on the LJ schools file.

And with fresher's week less than 7 days away, my mind spins back to Miskatonic when the influx of new blood was so welcome for the virgin sacrifices. Isn't it convenient how the school year starts just before those busy events around Halloween?

Ho ho!

I'm resisting the temptation to add "University of Life", as I'm not sure of its location.

I assume someone's already added Hogwarts, Malory Towers, St Clare, Grange Hill, and other such.

I drew a cartoon once depicting a sign:
"University of Life (formerly School of Hard Knocks)"

I'm pretty sure Hogwarts is there, not so sure about the rest though.

St Custards is another possibility as well!

And not forgetting St Trinians - not that I'd be eligible for that one.

Hmmm - I wonder how many St Trinians girls later went on to postgraduate work at Miskatonic....

They might be listed in the university guide book.

Depends how much cash was in it for them. Not so useful for the virgin sacrifices though.

No, but just the kind of person to know where to find an Orb of Thessalus when you want it, and to get hold of it at a very reasonable price.

And I bet they know a lot of things that 'man was not meant to know' too.

Mallory Towers! Now you're talking!

What about St Ronan's ("Susan Goes to School " etc)?

"Mallory Towers! Now you're talking!"

Talking, but evidently not spelling correctly. I've not come across St Ronan's (and failed to mention the Chalet School).

Not yet, as far as I can see. They would be London?

You can of course add them!

If you look at your userinfo, you'll see that an item labelled 'schools' has been added.

Interesting, thanks.

I have attempted to add TPU, giving its location as
Beetleburg, Transylvania, Romania, and am awaiting its "approval" by
the Powers in LJ's High Beyond.

What? We're only allowed to (have) attend(ed) approved schools? LiveJournal home of the borstal boys and girls.

Hail fellow who-needs-san-points-anyway graduate! What are you doing with that sharp knife?

Re the list: Hogwarts is presumably there too as Hogsmeade is listed. Some bright soul on Anonymous Claire was threatening to put up St Trinians and St Custards too - oh the choices!

You can also join the Arkham Alumni community to share tales of pranks and more serious events.

It turns out that none of my alma maters was on the LJ Schools list, nor was the great Midwestern university I fled. Have now submitted entries for them.

If the Powers have smiled upon Miskatonic and good old Sunnydale High, I have high hopes for Transylvania Polygnostic. I didn't attend TPU, but I hope to teach there someday.
