Reflections of a stormy petrel

I remember the timetables being introduced at the end of my second year (which I think is second grade in the British/American education system) And I mean, really briefly introduced (as in it wasn’t a reason not to go to the 3rd year if you didn’t know them) But by Christmas in 3rd year, we needed to know them (my birthday is in march, so I wasn’t even nine when I knew them). I remember this clearly because my 3rd year teacher created a fun (and competitive) game and if one wanted to collect the most stickers in his or her notebook (to show the parents), one needed to know them ;-)
