       Rise and Shine

       Miella thought that music was familiar. Yes, the circus march or
       the one Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey played back when
       they still had a circus. Miella remembered going to see a circus
       when she was a child. It was a small traveling operation that
       set up real tents and had real animals with real dung on the
       outskirts of Baltimore. She remembered the ring master spoke in
       both English and Spanish, which Miella thought sweet, because
       neither of her grandmothers spoke much English. Of course Miella
       had wanted to join the circus, to put on costumes and to learn
       to swing on a trapeze. Miella had since taken a minicourse in
       burlesque and also gymnastics as part of high school and college
       PE. She knew a few trapeze tricks, which had once given her a
       summer stock gig.
       The music faded. A loud voice greeted everyone over the public
       address system. Through the not-thick-enough walls of Ferrante
       1-C, Miella became aware of groans, curses, and one angry THUD
       that must have come from an unhappy girl pitching something at
       the loud speaker.
       "Good morning students!" a voice on the loud speaker announced.
       "This is Dr. Veronique Zivko, Superintendent of
       Kotiah-Yovanovitch, home of the Dazzling Do-Do's. It's time to
       rise and shine. Today is the first day of classes. It is an A
       day for alternate day courses.
       "The dining staff would like to let all of you know that today's
       featured breakfast item is pancakes and today's breakfast meat
       is ham. The featured item in the lunch hot line is Beef and
       Barley burgers and the featured pizza flavor is onion.
       "Remember high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors can sign
       up for two extracurricular activities. Freshman can only sign up
       for one. For the first two weeks, you can try up to three
       activities before making your selection. Choose wisely and have
       a great day."
       The circus music blasted again to the accompaniment of more
       groans. Kristen blurted out. "I'm going to have to wear
       F-------- ing  earphones to bed!" "No one told me this was the
       mother f--------- ing army! This is supposed to be f------- ing
       boarding school." Someone else laughed. Miella felt grateful
       that the girls would mostly get breakfast on their own so she
       did not have to face their morning grouchiness, made a hundred
       times worse by those Godawful morning announcements.
