Getting an education is an awfully wearing process!

it's dreadful when two people's senses of humor are antagonistic. I don't believe there's any bridging that gulf!

Half of the time I don't know what they're talking about; their jokes seem to relate to a past that everyone but me has shared. I'm a foreigner in the world and I don't understand the language.
