Sacred Haven of Debauchery

I always doodled in class, and I still do the same during lectures now. In 1st and 2nd grade, my teacher gave up on me a long time ago. - Galina Mikhailovna, Boriskin is drawing! - Boriskin is sitting quietly! Or: - Boriskin, stop scribbling with your markers so loudly! (not to stop drawing, but to draw more quietly) And yet, I got straight A's. In 3rd grade, I switched to a different school. They were strict with me, gave me C's and D's, but I kept drawing no matter what. Well, starting in 5th grade, it became easier for me to do my favorite things. I got better at it and spent lessons goofing off (if we weren't writing anything, of course...). They wanted to expel me a couple of times, and I sometimes got into serious trouble. I remember in 6th or 7th grade, we locked ourselves in the bathroom with the girls and called in a foul-mouthed old lady. We all got written up. My parents laughed about it for a long time.
