Last night I had this really awesome dream: School was like a series of puzzles and games we had to play our way through using our knowledge . . . only our knowledge was magical-stuff, a la Harry Potter. One of the games was a historical (and historical here meaning mythological) trivia thingy . . . and if we got questions wrong, we'd die or something.
And one of the "tasks" we had to go through was identifying parts of this weird action figure thing of Elendil, and describe the history behind each thing. Like, there was an Elendil figurine, a little palantír, a set of seven silver stars, a little white tree, and his sword. It was so cool. I knew a lot of the stuff already, and then I whipped out my copy of Unfinished Tales to fill in the rest of the blanks.
If school was like that for real, I'd die of happiness.
