epic SICP!! story

"Let me show you the power of Satori," The Sussman said in a deep hiss. His snakelike arm extended from his body towards me as I continued to run for what seemed like eternity towards the longbus's rear door.

"Longbus is loooooooooooooooooooooong", I thought to myself as I continued to run, the snake's head fast approaching. The bus seemed to go on forever. After a while, I passed the driver's seat. WTF, I thought. Ahead of me was The Sussman, standing in the aisle facing the same direction as me, with his left arm pointed forward.

I looked behind me, and saw the snake head was still approaching; I had managed to outrun it for a bit, and it was racing towards me. RECURSION! I jumped into the stepwell just as the head gained a sudden burst of speed, piercing through The Sussman and sending bright glowing parentheses everywhere. I watched first his body, then his hands disintegrate in the same manner that the head had earlier. The long black arm, floating in mid-air, slowly disappeared into a cloud of these glowing parentheses, and the snake's head, which I now noticed had come through the windscreen along with me, did the same after a few moments.

I stepped over to the driver's seat, looking for the door release switch. I found what appeared to be the switch and toggled it, but the doors did not open. Shortly after, a low hissing sound emanated from the bus itself, followed by the loud booming cry of "HAVE YOU READ YOUR SICP TODAY?", which felt as if it was coming from inside my head. Suddenly everything turned black.

The X server started, and the screen displayed what my eyes would see if I was
looking at the screen. An infinitude of visions appeared before me. A feeling
of lightheadedness overcame me and everything vanished into pure whiteness. I
opened my eyes to find myself seated in a lecture theater.

"Welcome to 6.001" was written on the board. Professor Gerald Jay Sussman
walked into the room, wearing his robe and wizard hat.

"Is this a hack?" he asked as he glanced around and saw, as did I, a
strangely-dressed pair of girls staring back at him.

"Nevermind, let's start the lecture." The Sussman said softly.

"I'd like to welcome you to this course on computer science. ... Actually, it's
a terrible way to start. Computer science is a terrible name for this business.
First of all it's not a science." The Sussman lectured while the students sat
and listened attentively.

"Or we'll actually see that computer... so-called science actually has a lot in
common with magic." The Sussman continued.

"So procedures are the spells if you like that control these magical spirits
that are the processes."

The Sussman produced a wand and waved it in the air, muttering to himself. A
bright flash of light filled the room, and a stream of glowing parentheses shot
out the end of the wand, dissappearing into the air. The students applauded loudly
