Hour One & Passing Period in the Boy Observation
I have decided to disregard the occurrences before first hour. Nothing really exciting was happening. Except for C.K. walking into the room while I was on the phone with dear-old-dad. And thus we begin first hour. Mr. R's class is always fun. Stetsen usually asks Lana for a pencil, and he follows through with this. Nothing out of the ordinary. Jake is a no-show....SURPRISE! As I do my usual eavesdropping on the conversation, I decide it is nothing but music talk and the latest technology in dumbed-down terms. Probably to make it easier for comprehension, I know I do that. It's basically just Zach and Stetsen talking about how they don't like to use certain 'downloaders.' "Smart guy" [aka Caleb] looks at Lana like she's a crazy person. It happens on a regualr basis. So, she laughs...big deal. Ooh, dialogue...BATTLE OF THE SEXES! LANA: Hey, Stetsen..... Mr. Zach gets tired and lays his head on his desk. G'night Zach-y. See you in the wee hours of ten or fifteen minutes. ;) [Me and my snarky remarks.] Stetsen leans over and begins to rummage the Mr. R's stuff. Hmm....curious much. And I quote Lana: 'that's not suspicious.' I look to my left and notice that "Smart Guy" has decided the stuff in the cold, wooden drawers looks appealing. Why are they so NOSY? I look back up, Zach still has his head down, but he proceeds to scratch him self. (Cue my shuddering....ewe...) I decided statistics are a good thing to use.... 5/9 boys have their heads down and are asleep. 2/9 boys are rummaging through the teacher's drawers. Then there's Brady. He looks REALLY lost. I wonder what he's thinking. On second thought, I really don't want to know. Some things are better left unsaid. Chris is writing. "Smart Guy" and Stetsen decided to look in the cabinets. Really, it's probably not that interesting. But, taking into consideration they're boys, I assume it's just an attention thing. More dialogue... STETSEN: But...it's good for you! HYPER-SPONGE! I'm pretty happy I wasn't listening to the majority of the conversation. [Thinks that maybe I should begin using code names...fourth and seventh hours could get pretty nasty...] I notice that Mr. R is calling for LeVon, who is sleeping....face down on the desk. MR.R: LeVon! LeVon gets up and fetches a green pass. He gets his stuff and leaves. Aaron begins to blow his nose. Why are boys loud when they do this? Stetsen and "Smart Guy" are still being annoying dufuses. STETSEN: Ooh, Copper! Mr. R realizes that LeVon has drooled on his table! MR.R: He drooled on my table!! As Mr. R is bleaching the table, I look at C.V. What on earth has he been writing that takes a whole period? Cue the bell, end notes for hour one. PASSING PERIOD I notice two boys chasing eachother down the hallway, Clark catches up to me and points out that Derek is pressing up against his girlfriend. WOW, Clark!
(There was no response.)
LANA: Stet-sen!
STETSEN: What??!!??!!
[And I laugh, these notes will be gold someday, you wait and see...]
(There is no response...his neighbor...Chris...taps him.)
MR.R: LeVon!
AARON: WOW! WOW! WOW! DANG, MAN!
MR.R: Holy cow. I'm bleaching it.
