Not only were there millions of garden gnomes on the grounds, there were kids. Tons and tons of kids. Not only that: they were happy kids. I found this bizarre. What normal kids love school?

Oh, how could I forget to mention that I'd found about 15 free tickets. Finders keepers you sweet little waldorf twits.
