Offered by our own Jenn Ashworth, to be specific. Why bother with college when you could spend the same sum and get all of this? Not only will Jenn get you through the academic bits faster, her course also gives you a preview of the first part of your career.
Unfortunately, many of us live too far away; there's presently no good distance-learning method of locking someone in a cellar.

I'm working on it. As long as you have a cellar of your own, I can help you out.
Apply quickly while places remain.
"The first part of your career"? I neer had you down as one of life's optimists...
Hi, Jenn--
Unfortunately, we don't have cellars hereabouts. Nor do we have rooms that could really be considered attics. I'm not sure why. The architecture in books is always filled with hidey-holes that are noticeably absent in California.
Apropos of nothing, though, I note that JRR Tolkein claimed "cellar door" was the most beautiful phrase in the English language.
Hi, Tim--
Oh, that wasn't optimism. That was recognition of the fact that you need to get your head well into the trap before the killing bar slams down on your neck.
Phew, David - I thought for a minute you were going soft on me...
We had a crawl space in Utah, not a cellar exactly, and it was plenty scary. My parents never once threatened to lock me in there, though.
Hi, Jenster--
Well, according to Jenn's theory, if they had locked you in there, it would have amounted to a kind of home schooling...
Jenn's post was hilarious!
