The Super Objective Present Tense

"When I was in school, I didn't fare so well in History class. In fact, I didn't do so well in Future class either. So I concentrated my energy on studying the present, which, as it turns out, is one of the more dull and boring of the time classes. Eventually I would discover Alternate Past Futures and the rest, as they say, is history"
