Kory gets the last word on scribe notes 5-12-2014

As I strut into English class with my regular swagger, I plop down into my seat

Is plop the right word? Probably not….

Everyone is stressing out about everything that is not English

Physics is the main target

“I am a complete moron. My IQ is about 15. I can’t keep my spit in my mouth.” – Mrs. Gill

Preach it! She speaks nothing but the truth

Mack wants a zip lock bag

Drug deal? Yes.

Mack made another bad joke….

Dear Zeus why…..

She’s making Asian eyes at me now… I’m scared… Images of Hiroshima pop into my head. I am reassured now J

Now Kory’s mind wanders… English is not important because Kory’s head is the place to be.

What is love? Baby don’t hurt me. Don’t hurt me. No more.

….. wait…. Wut?....

“That is a hard one! That actually is a hard one!” – Mrs. Gill

Please woman, think before you say things like that!!

Voss needs to stop bouncing his knee before I bounce over there and smack that smirk off his face! OHHHHH PWNED.

Now Lucy had begun the trend!

Is this a cult?!

Am I not in on this?!

Is this a dream?! Is this real life?! What is life?! What is real…? What is what…? Oh the philosophical questions… Call me Socrates

Carly and Niña apparently are twinning (it took me 3 ½ minutes to find the “ñ” in the symbols…)

They are wearing the same shirt

The most impressive thing that came out of this situation is that Microsoft Word accepted “twinning” as a word

Thank you almighty Microsoft Word

Ahhhh-ohhh-ahhh-wahhhhhh (Gregorian Chant in praise of Word) (interpret it as you please)

Tobey Maguire is the greatest actor of all time.

Mack’s laugh gets me every time. Classic comedy.

Amelia tells Taylor to stop being tall… Check.

Moment of silence in praise for lemon brownies. Sweet Honey from the Rock! They were GOOD!

I take a moment to witness this ping-pong match of a sass competition between Mack and Taylor

Is there a clear winner? Nay.

Voss, it is kinda hard to look at the board when your hands are over your eyes. Just Saying…

Taking another moment of silence to realize that every time Voss is mentioned in someone’s scribe notes, he is thrown under the bus. LOLZ

Much scribe notes. Very English.

Commence Mack’s giggling.

They call me hell

They call me Stacey

They call me Her

They call me Jane

That’s not my name      

That’s not my name

That’s not my name

That’s not my….. name

The lyrics speak to me.

Class is coming along at a great pace and all we have done is read other people’s scribe notes

Hoo Rah! Go, team, go!

Mrs. Gill departs the classroom

Where does she go…?

No one ever knows?

Probably to feed her prisoners scraps of lemon brownies in the Gill Dungeon

Sounds about right.

Apparently the journals are supposed to be done by tomorrow

Well this is awkward…..

Booty, booty, Call of Duty

Nothing has been accomplished in this class… its awesome!

I honestly have to say that I will miss this English class

Swiggity Swag, Get in my bag

Nine minutes to go then I’m off to physics

Son of a gun…

I actually got called on to answer a question

Wait what??

I’m supposed to do something?

Bologna.

What does technology want…? Oh the questions. Deep.

Mack and I had a stare down

I think I won

Steve and I just had a full conversation just by moving our eyebrows at each other

That is talent

Huh. Mrs. Gill is Mexican… that still blows my mind

I wonder how her Cinco de Mayo was…

(Stereotypical Mariachi band song goes off in Kory’s head)

I bob my head to the sick beat

I can’t wait for the bass to drop

Here is goes….

Dope.

I make nose noises now

Why??

Who knows?

Niña gives me a stare

I make an awful joke

She still laughs

Success.

Lucy makes another feminist comment to wrap up the class

Predictable.

The class is ending.

I sit here typing away

Not knowing where to stop….

Jake Green is here

What a cutie

Adios muchachos! Have a good one!

Jacquelyn's scribes 5-8

G reminds me that I am supposed to scribe today… whoops

So we start the movie and Mackenzie and Meredith are giggling non-stop about who knows what. Next Taylor and Amelia join in their laughter. There is a noise outside and as I look outside, Sam is flattened himself against the window… that’s attractive.

He joins our class for a short period of time before leaving, but reassuring us he will be back for the fight scene.

At this point in the movie there are eels swarming Buttercup and Nina seems actually scared. I knew she was not a scary movie type of person, but really? This isn’t remotely scary.

Now we are at the part where they climb the giant cliff, and everyone seems actually very interested in the movie…

Ok this ‘smart’ guy, the Sicilian’s voice is very annoying.

Ok, nothing much is happening inside this classroom… I’m not sure how to do these scribe notes when we are all just watching a movie…

There are occasionally chuckles and laughs now and then throughout the movie.

Again Mackenzie and Meredith are laughing. And again I have no clue as to why they are laughing.

G comments that the actor who plays Prince Humperdinck is much different than the Prince in the book. Much more swooshy? I think that is the word she used.

Nina makes a comment about how many times it must have taken the actor to get down his moves just right.

G leaves the room…. Bad idea because shortly after Mack spills Meredith’s water everywhere, now the lights come one and they are trying to clean up the mess she has made

“jesus Christ” says Adam

“my food” says Meredith.

And now everyone has taken the opportunity to refill on popcorn.

And apparently G gave me a bag to help with the AP test this Friday, and apparently there is gum in that bag, and apparently Nina would like a piece.

G reenters the room and either doesn’t care or notice that anything happened… lights go off, Meredith is till cleaning up Mack’s mess, and everyone is quiet again.

Except for that person in the back of the room crackling their water bottle… I think that’s Adam.

Nina is really into this movie too…

Okay that scene where the Sicilian dies is pathetic acting!

Again some chuckles…

Okay this movie has such bad acting!!!!!

We are at the part when they fall down the ravine… everyone is of course laughing and T mentions how that scene was awkward… and it was.

Buttercup falls into that swamp thingy and even G has to laugh at this poor acting..

“What? What?” Nina is confused by the giant rodent, which looks totally fake

Everyone laughs as Buttercup and Westley emerge from the swamp thingy… again bad acting

And Buttercup is breathing unnecessarily loud in this scene.

I love how Westley fights off a R.O.U.S and Buttercup just stands there, which seems to impress T and Niners too.

Niner really must find this movie funny.

We stop the movie here and time to go to lunch.

Shannon's Scribe Notes from Friday 5-9

I already know that today is going to be uneventful.  We walk in to the classroom and it’s dark already.  The movie is all ready to go.  I put my things down and immediately go over and make myself coffee.  Scratch that.  I forgot I have to scribe today.  I run back to my seat.  The movie has already started.  I’m sure I’m being very distracting.  Oh well, I’m sure everyone is so absorbed in the movie that they don’t notice me asking Amelia to make me coffee.  I busy myself with getting out my laptop to begin my task.  Everyone is making comments about Rugen’s six fingers.  Thank you for pointing that out, I don’t think I would have been able to tell, especially with that dramatic close-up of his right hand.  I’m really glad I have such attentive classmates. 

The movie progresses uneventfully.  Westley is taken to the Pit of Despair and is prepped for torture by the albino.  There are a few laughs at the utter ridiculousness of the whole thing.  Amelia brings me my cup of coffee.  I didn’t think she’d actually bring it.  I love it when people do what I tell them.  The movie continues to roll.  Buttercup has nightmares and Humperdinck is annoying.  Jack gets up to make coffee.  No one is surprised.  Rugen begins torturing Westley.  No one reacts.  Humperdinck continues to be ridiculous and annoying.  Adam laughs.  See, I told you it wasn’t a girl movie.  The movie continues.  Fezzik and Inigo are reunited and it’s really cute.  Nina makes a comment about the romantic music playing during the scene.  Adam says they looked like they were about to kiss and it was weird.  He’s right.  While Fezzik and Inigo plan to find the man in black, Nina does other homework.  Meredith is eating and no one is surprised.  But it’s just getting good!  Buttercup tells Humperdinck he’s a coward and Humperdinck gets really pissed off.  Westley is tortured and no one cares.  Inigo and Fezzik search for Westley.  I wish I had coffee left.  There’s a super dramatic moment when Inigo is trying to find the opening to the Pit.  Again, there is no reaction from the class.  Does anyone like this movie?  This is like my favorite movie of all time.  I hope people are enjoying it. 

Miracle Max is one of my favorite parts of this whole movie.  Finally, he gets a few laughs.  Yes, this is the best part of the whole thing.  Max and Valerie are two of my favorite characters ever.  This movie is just so flawless.  The amount of sass is wonderful. 

There are a few scattered laughs and a few whispered comments.  Nothing notable really happens.  The movie goes on.  Inigo, Fezzik, and Westley plan to storm the castle.  Buttercup and Humperdinck are at the wedding.  The lisping clergyman gets a few laughs.  Fezzik is on fire and Buttercup gets married.  Inigo finally finds Rugen.  Rugen runs away.  Fezzik smashes a door.  Westley disappears.  Everyone laughs when Buttercup tells the king she’s going to kill herself and he, not hearing her, tells her that’ll be nice.  Finally, a reaction! 

The movie goes on.  Nothing happens.  Buttercup is going to kill herself.  Westley tells her she has perfect breasts and Adam laughs.  He’s the only one.  Inigo kills Rugen after some dramatic swordfighting.  Jack applauds.  Humperdinck finds Westley and Westley explains the term “to the pain.”  Westley stands up and it’s really impressive.  They tie up Humperdinck and everyone is reunited.  Fezzik shows up with Humperdinck’s horses.  There are scattered laughs and various comments.  Inigo doesn’t know what to do with his life after killing Rugen and Westley suggests piracy.  They all ride off into the sunset and everyone lives happily ever after.  There’s a kissing part.  Kory thinks the grandfather is Westley.  Mrs. Gill starts talking about purpose again.  We discuss how much we quote the Princess Bride.  I know I do that quite a bit.  Adam admits that he liked the movie.  I knew he would.  I’m always right.  (Not really, that’s such a lie.  I don’t know why people think that.)  We talk about the exam briefly as everyone is leaving.  I wish I could stay here forever instead of going to physics.

Friday Movie Day (Matt's 5-9 scribe notes)

I walk into class. People are trying to make coffee. Meredith has goldfish. Mackenzie runs over to get coffee. It’s Friday and we are watching a movie in English. Wow. I never thought this would happen, especially in a college credit class. Gross it’s the 6-fingered man. Boom Westley gets knocked out and is seeing stars. Next thing he knows he is in a creepy basement and a creepy man is cleaning his wounds. The creepy man warns Westley of the death machine. The King dies and Humperdinck and Buttercup get married.  Billy is upset that Buttercup marries Humperdinck instead of Westley. The little Billy learns a lesson about how life isn’t fair.

 Next thing, the old woman is booing Buttercup because she betrayed Westley in the fire swamp.  Buttercup realizes that she must marry Westley because he is her true love. She tells Humperdinck that she must marry Westley. Humperdinck suggests that she write to Westley and he will send ships out to find Westley and. Please consider me his alternative to suicide he says. Buttercup leaves and starts joking about how he will strangle Buttercup on their wedding night. Humperdinck complains about how he is “swamped”. Pun intended? I don’t know. Now Westley is being tortured with the death machine. They start off on the lowest setting. He just sucked one year of his life away. Westley feels miserable.

Humperdinck demands that the thieves forest be empty on the day of the wedding. Inigo is drunk in the forest. Fezzik picks him up and knocks out the guard. Bromance? Awkward… Know Fezzik is feeding Inigo. Now he is bathing him. Now Inigo goes off to avenge his father and kill the 6-fingered man.

It is the wedding day. Humperdinck is pretending to like Buttercup. She calls him out on how he never sent the ships for Westley. Buttercup says Westley will come anyway because they are joined by the bonds of love. Buttercup calls Humperdinck a coward and the slimiest creature to ever crawl the earth. Then, Humperdinck runs down to the basement, sets the death machine to 50, and kills Westley. Westley lets out a mighty cry that is heard for miles. Inigo hears the death cry and tells Fezzik that he knows the sound. Fezzik knock out the creepy man. Inigo believes that somewhere there is a man that can help guide his sword to where he heard the death cry. He walks around, eyes closed, with sword pointed out. He runs into a tree and it just so happens that it is a secret entrance to the Zoo of death. They find Westley, dead. Little Billy is demanding who kills Humperdinck. He is upset to find that Humperdinck lives. Then Inigo and Fezzik go to Max the miracle man to try to revive Westley.  Max says he is retired and the king fired him. They bring Westley in and Max says he has seen worse. Inigo demands that he has to avenge his father. Max says Westley is mostly dead, not all dead so he is slightly alive. Max asks Westley what is so important living for. Westley replies mumbling true love. Max’s wife storms in and they get in a little altercation. She keeps shouting, “Humperdinck!” Now Max is convinced that it is a noble cause. They coat the magic potion thing in chocolate and they send the boys off.

Inigo feeds Westley the magic chocolate covered potion. Westley wakes up and is alive again! Now they are discussing how to save the princess. Fezzik pulls out a holocaust cloak that he grabbed from Max’s house. Westley puts on the cloak. The three men are outside the castle. The wedding is beginning. Fezzik is wearing a cloak and there is fire and smoke around him. Fezzik distracts the guards. Then he opens the gate so the three men can advance into the castle.  Fezzik carries Westley. Inigo takes care of some guards with his sword. Then he encounters the 6-fingered man. The 6-fingered man runs away and Inigo chases after him. Fezzik sets Westley down and breaks open a locked door for Inigo to advance after the 6-fingered man. The 6-fingered man throws a dagger into Inigo’s stomach. Inigo dies. Or does he? No.

Now Buttercup is about to commit suicide. She is about to stab herself when all of a sudden Westley is their and she kisses him.

Inigo gets up saying, “hello my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!” He repeats the phrase several times. The two duel it out and Inigo kills him and avenges his father.

Westley points out that Buttercup never said “I do.” Humperdinck walks in. Westley then insults Humperdinck. Westley orders Humperdinck to drop his sword and take a seat. Buttercup ties him up. They do not kill Humperdinck.  Fezzik appears with 4 white horses for them to ride away.  Buttercup jumps out the window into Fezzik’s arms, rather comically. The four of them ride away. Westley and Buttercup have a very passionate kiss. One of the most passionate of all time.

The little Billy tells his grandpa to come over again tomorrow to read it again and the grandpa replies with Westley’s words, “As you wish.” And the movie is over.

But the journaling does not stop hear. We critique the movie. Jacob gives it one star. G says she calls her husband pig. Weird. G says that there is theme in the movie that is harder to see in the book. Now class is over.

Bianca’s Scribe Notes May 8, 2014 period 1

Just got into class and told to scribe on a day we’re watching a movie why is this even useful

Megan is currently swooning

The sexual tension between Farm Boy and Buttercup is TOO REAL

Hey Jack just walked in

Shelley shushes people

For once Shelley wants to be quiet atta girl

LB makes her classic “there it is” comment when Buttercup and Westley almost kiss

Nick is chowin down rn

Prince Humperdinck reminds me of Lord Farquad from Shrek??

And Buttercup is now kidnapped

Confused as to how Fezzik and Inigo can deal with such a tubby little man with a nasally voice

Literally Fezzik could like eat him he’s so huge

I guess the rhyming helps idk

How many times has Will gotten popcorn now??

Big a$$ eels instead of sharks

There goes Nick for some more food

“Inconceivable” times 10

Inigo and the man in black bond before their death match

Westley just took down the fat man

Plot twist Westley doesn’t slap Buttercup

Farquad (Humperdinck) is on the chase

The man in black calls Buttercup out on being unfaithful #jealous

“As youuuuu wiiiissshhh” wonderful acting

No one can deal with the cheesiness of this film

Buttercup is just hangin’ out as a mouse chomps down on Westley

Literally the weirdest film ever

Steve's period 6 scribe notes from Thursday 5-8

Class begins.

My lazy self asks in general, “Can someone do something funny so I have something to write about?”  Kory genuinely does something spontaneous and is kind enough to do something humorous for me.  Sadly, the humorous act was throwing his full cup of popcorn onto my laptop.  Thanks Kory for giving me something to write about, but this was not particularly what I was asking for.  Kory’s only response was “What? I had to think on my feet.”  Thankfully Kory was nice enough to clean the mess.

The movie begins.

The movie is quite confusing if there is any thought put into it.  Within the first five minutes, the movie is already on chapter three in the book. 

Sam Stewart runs into the door and Kory is the only one to get up and let him in.

Buttercup jumps into the water.  The book describes that there are sharks and the three men cannot see her.  In the movie, there are eels that try to eat Buttercup and the three men see her the whole time. 

Within five minutes of Vizzini being on screen, I realize he is the voice of Rex for Toy Story.  I cannot take this movie very seriously when the “intelligent” Vizzini is a simple plastic toy dinosaur.    

By now the “adventurous” sword fighting scene is on and I can’t say I am too impressed by the acting. 

Moments later the “fight” scene against Fezzik is not so impressive either.  The fight ends.

Nevertheless, clumsy Mack turns around and spills Meredith’s water and popcorn all over Meredith.  Of course, Mrs. Gill is not present at the time.  Meredith’s skirt is all wet in the front and her only response after she gets up is, “My food…”  The class continues to watch Mack and Meredith clean the mess and ignores the movie. 

The scene trying to trick Rex, I mean Vizzini is not so impressive either.  Vizzini just stops laughing and falls over quite simply and dies with no struggle. 

And so Buttercup pushes “the man in black” down the hill.  This movie is official quite pathetic in its acting.  “As you wish” was muttered by Westley very poorly and Buttercup comes to the conclusion that it was Westley not a murderer.  She decides to jump and tumble down quite pitifully.  Mrs. Gill laughs quite loudly which makes everyone seem to laugh even harder.

Kory notes the greatness of Westley’s mustache.

Adam now has his head downright after Mrs. Gill exits the room.  He wakes up and realizes that I am looking at him and mumbles something because he is well aware I took note of him.

Buttercup is now swallowed by a sand pit and moments later, Westley comes out with her alive, quite poor acting again.

Westley is attacked by a poorly created “rat” and horribly gets rid of it.  The rat somehow combusted into flames and Westley stabs it.

Class comes to a close at this point and now is the notorious time for the scribe to say    “FOOD.” yet I see it as the day half way over not just time for food.

Jack's scribe notes Tuesday 5-6 period 6

Class begins and Jquelin’ won’t stop talking, like always. Mrs. Gill threatened us some, I don’t really remember, it wasn’t that effective. She then tells us that if we don’t scribe, we won’t get any points (the second threat of the class). No one seems to care that much. The class is joined today by Carly’s shadow, making the circle a weird new shape that I don’t like.

Nina says something that doesn’t make any sense, and then gets a little mad when Mrs. Gill gets confused. Mrs. Gill, alternatively known as G, continued to read Taylor’s scribe notes while chaos descended. G is appalled that all Taylor got out of Huck Finn was a pun about Mer and Mack’s names being like the river. Did I use that apostrophe right? I really have no idea what I’m doing, some people just think I do.

Mack gets up to leave, and asks some questions about the journals, you know, like when you really want to get out of a teachers room but you don’t want them to think you’re a bad student? “Oh, ya, the journals…uh huh, I did  those. Ya, man, The Princess Bride! Totally.”

Mrs. Gill tells us that we’re going to have to reformat our whole journal. I sigh. G counter complains, stating that in her day, she would have to rewrite the whole journal, unlike us who just have to type. While it’s a good point, it doesn’t detract from the fact that I now have to do work, which sucks.

Mrs. Gill tells us all to read, and thus it begins. She hands the shadow a book. The shadow looks upset and feigns a smile. Poor, poor shadow.

Mrs. Gill says she has a list of everyone who has been doing the journals wrong. Obviously, everyone wants to know if they’re on the list. Everyone shouts out to Mrs. Gill, “Am I on the list?” In the end, only Kory is. That’s not really a list, Mrs. Gill…

      Five minutes into our assigned reading time, Alex is asleep, Lucy is reading a different book, and everyone else is actually reading…I set up that sentence so I could list all the oddities occurring, but none really are. Without Taylor and Mack, the class is actually calm.

Voss is clearly asleep. Seriously, Mrs. Gill, he’s just sleeping right there, not even hiding it. Later, it will come up that Voss was sleeping in class and Mrs. Gill will probably claim to have not noticed.

For a sufficiently awkward amount of time, a few students read while Mrs. Gill stands at her podium-cart-thing and looks at her clipboard. Wasn’t there a fish in this room? I swear we had a pet or something. Now there’s just a picture of Jesus where the fish used to be. Wait, didn’t Mary Cannon kill the fish? Damn seniors.

G is now just looking at her computer with a confused and worried look on her face. She’s probably grading my journal.

Class only has a few minutes left, and Voss is still sleeping. The shadow is still on page 1, her eyes rapidly shifting from the clock by the door back to her book. (To be fair, I should probably mention that Voss woke up). 

Courtney's scribe notes from 5-6 period 1

Courtney Spires

Mrs. Gill

ACC English 3

Period 1-5/6/14

A Rather Strange Day in English Class

May 6^th and I am forced to scribe by Mrs. Gill

Thanks a lot. Not excited.

Class begins and we are all reminded that Bianca got knocked up

Shelley, of course, explains the meaning of this^^^

It’s a joke-but are we for sure?

Just kidding Bianca.

Mrs. Gill continues class with explaining yet another story of her life

She found a story on Facebook

Who knew she had a Facebook?

Anyways, it was about what people send to other people’s parents on their phones

She thought it was funny

We won’t ever start class

Only six minutes in the first class of a Tuesday

Abby looks like she is dying…..Do you want the tissue box?

Annette looks tired and sinister, like always

Sarah sits with her one true love-the coffee in a little QT cup

Is it good, Sarah?

Bridget finally comes into class at 7 minutes late-----Demerit?

Chris’s scribe notes

Class argument about being able to read lying down

I think it is possible and Bridget is accused of having Asian eyes

I don’t think so.

Shannon St. Louis has Asian eyes.

She is Asian, not Bridget.

8:10….Abby gets up to get the tissues again…..please take the box with you

Reading Ben’s scribe notes

Ben used a funny “that’s what she said” joke

Mrs. Gill pleads innocence….no one believes you

Good try.

Just discovered that Ben is a poet.

Abby took all of the tissues in the box

None are left for anybody else

Now she needs to go get another one

Sarah and Nick laugh at something and Megan rants (shocker)

Mrs. Gill becomes silent as she is interrupted

Please stop talking everyone.

Shelley is still talking #TSM

Bianca shoots her down with a nasty glare

The class is silent all of a sudden…

Goes over journal format……snore. I hate those anyway.

Why can’t we read and discuss in class, without having to journal?

That’s why Lindsay hates it so much.

I hate scribing.

8:14-Mrs. Gill has an announcement

One of her “brainwaves” hit and that is fantastic for us

We will now be watching the Princess Bride in class

Movie days in class?

Truly a blessing from God

Besides, who wants to miss lunch and advisory anyways?

Lemon brownies….Mrs. Gill carries on…

What the heck are those?

Don’t you buy them from the store?

She explains what a “lemon brownie” is compared to a “lemon square”

Whatever….food is food.

And food is good. I’m not complaining.

Annette beats Will with a book…….casual.

Now Abby has the tissues on her desk…..

Are we ever going to really begin class?

Bridget coughs

Gosh….allergy season is revolting.

Now Bridget wants to go get a tissue. My God.

Bianca plays with her hair.

She explains that it used to be curly when she was little

Her dad nicknamed her Medusa.

Abby quietly mentions that she was called an asparagus.

Mrs. Gill scolds Abby again. Shocker. Mrs. Gill doesn’t like Abby.

Megan’s computer goes off. Time to charge.

8:19 finally we get to reading

Everyone is silent……what is going on?

Shelley and Erin are reading. So is Nick.

Sarah is reading, not a surprise. Lindsay and Bianca are reading.

Alyssa is reading and so is Will.

C’mon, someone do something interesting.

Oh-Ben moved a page!!!! ……*yawn* this class is not exciting. 

Sorry everyone

8:24-At least it isn’t physics class. God I hate physics class. Stupid physics class.

Megan got her computer out and is now typing.

Annette drops something from her book bag.

Someone do something interesting. Anybody…….just anybody.

Whatever, just another day in English class.

Not even Erin and Bridget are talking….wow.

8:26- How come on the day that I am forced to scribe that everyone does what they are supposed to?

It is Tuesday-we all have to read in SSR anyways…..so why now?

Lindsay plays with her hair.

Sarah continues to read….she usually does what she is supposed to do in English class.

Chris yawns

Is Nick asleep? He is strangely bent over... Oh wait, just kidding… he moved.

8:33-Bianca glances at the clock and looks like she is about to die

Agony crosses her face annnnd….there she goes, head down on the desk.

Wow-I haven’t seen Annette insult, yell, or hit Will in forever……this is not a typical class.

Mrs. Gill shushes Abby and Megan…..commanding her reign on her peasant students

She is like a hawk on watch today……

Wonder if she had a good breakfast?

8:34-I’m tired. Heck, at least it isn’t physics class

8:36-Stupid physics class.

Bianca seems out for the count. So does Erin.

Shelley makes awkward eye contact…..Ben seems to be absorbed in the book.

This chapter is about Westley’s torture and Fezzik/Inigo’s attempt to reunite with Westley and their plotting to kill the Count

I still don’t like Buttercup. She seems too helpless.

She believes that Westley will receive her letter

Meanwhile, she is all that keeps him from enduring excruciating pain

But that letter was never sent

Prince Humperdinck is an evil trout who wants to kill her

Why would he send her letter?

Class continues and I wish the man in black would come save me. 

8:39-Awkward eye contact with Shelley again. Never make that face again at me please……

8:40 Shelley, please stop looking at me.

Chris is still yawning.

Bridget is still coughing….

8:43: Mrs. Gill finally wakes everyone up.

Solid class period.

Five minutes to go……….

Four minutes to go…..

Never made awkward eye contact with Ben…..strange class.

Annette doesn’t have to take the final. Wish I didn’t have to take the final.

Everyone argues of when we will get our study guides. Shouldn’t we have them by now?

I bet we don’t even get one in Physics.

Two minutes to go and I am out.

Made these long because I had nothing better to do.

Maybe a silent English class is a synonym for The Machine

Maybe I just lost 20 years off of my life span???

It was just as torturous. 

Well, at least it wasn’t physics class……

Taylor's 5-5 Scribe notes from period 6

G appoints me scribe today because she said I will be gone later this week. Correction, I am only gone Friday because I am taking the AP English exam, and I am not even missing her class.  But that’s beside the point. It was a typical day in Period  6, except Amelia and Nina aren’t here and the circle is awkwardly smaller and its noticeably quieter.  We begin the class by reading Jacob’s scribe notes, which, as always, takes about 5 minutes. Jacob makes a sassy comment about me fixing my hair in his scribe notes, so I look him dead in the eye and fix my hair again. Take that Jacob. When Jacob said G was hard to type, G said we could pick a different letter for her name.  This somehow led to G said her maiden name was spicy and she misses it. Interesting. 

We once again blame Amelia for the reason our class is so unorderly.  I would agree with that because she always distracts me.  Well okay I distract her, but she sometimes distracts me.  Mackenzie says Scotty is her pope (typical) and we debate over if we would rather touch the Pope’s hand or Scotty’s.  I think we came to the conclusion of Scotty.  Jack asks me to google what he looks like, and he responds with “He’s funny looking”. (Willing to bet Mack throws something across the room at Jack when she reads this). 

Oh god here come the quizzes.  Steven gives a sarcastic remark about the book saying its garbage and he hates it, but theres no surprise there. Kory says books are used to light fire and G is offended.  So is Shannon.  This quiz is hard.  I am not a fan of irony or genres.  Can my saint quote be enough to pass this quiz? No? okay.  Halfway through the quiz Voss asks if it has to be a quote, which has already been asked and answered like 3 times. He was probably texting the girl of his dreams when G answered the first few times.  Everyone’s confused about frame story, including me. And no one knows what to put for the first short answer.  Confused stares are abundant.  There’s a lot of screaming from Mr. Vogel’s room. A lot.  It makes it hard to focus. I notice its really quiet without Nina.  Maybe Amelia and Nina are the instigators.  I catch Meredith shooting a death glare at her quiz and looking at it like “what even is this” (don’t worry, I’m right there with ya)

I look around the room and notice Jack is way farther in the book than I am.  It’s okay though because Jacqueline isn’t.  Alex put his pencil in his mouth like it was a bone and he was a dog (gross). Jacob and I make awkward eye contact. Mere and Mack are deep in conversation.  It must be interesting because Mere’s jaw dropped open and her eyes got wide.  Also, Mere and Mack make me think of the river, which makes me think of Huck Finn.  Hopefully G was proud of that statement.  G wants us to request the reunion scene, which I thought was just made up.  Turns out its real.

Everyone’s ignoring G and doing their own thing. Mack talking about Scotty still: “I got a picture with him kinda.  Me and meg were like yaaaas”  Scotty and yaaas are the two words Mack uses most.  Joey Esserman comes to the room in search of his brother.  G just told Joey Esserman she’s abusive when people come in her room.  She told a story about how she tries to act tough and be intimidating to underclassmen.  Jacob makes fun of her for laughing and turning red.  I agree with him.  G offers to fight me

Of course G picks on Steven to read the reunion scene and says his opinion is the only thing that matters.   G is obsessed with getting Steven to read.  Mack makes a heart at Jack (again, typical). G calls Shannon out for already reading the whole book, and Shannon hides behind her book from embarrassment.  Wow, overachiever.  Adam groans and stares at the ceiling because G is making him read the reunion part. I catch Carly creepily waving to someone in the hall, but I don’t see anyone out there.  Awkward.  G asks who thinks Goldman is getting sued, and Adam responds with “who has an IQ of 12 in here”.  Sass is abundant today.  In between Adam, Jacob, Steven, Jacqueline and I, there’s almost too much sass to handle. 

Finally, announcements. 

3:00. I’m going home and taking a nap.  

Ben's Fezzik-style scribe notes form Monday 5-5 period 1

Nick wanting pizza and Lindsay with the sass

The usual start of English class

Chris and Will aren’t here

Too quiet, no talking from ear to ear

We took a quiz which was long and hard…that’s what she said

Class was boring; I think we all wanted to be in bed

Laptops are out, Annette and Alyssa furiously typing away

Mrs. Gill asks us something, no one knows what to say

Everyone starts to complain about the URL

Scribe notes are too hard to write, oh well

Everyone gets aroused at the mention of candy

Not quite sure who it was, Alyssa or Abby?

Sarah starts to play with something, maybe her hair?

Most of the people aren’t talking, like they don’t give a care

Westley turned out to be abusive with the slapping of Buttercup

Turns out he did this instead of telling her to shut the f*** up

Mrs. Gill goes on about the history of the book

Everyone sat there with a bored look

Megan goes on her usual rant

A day without a rant? She shan’t

Megan and Erin start arguing over the storyline

It’s a book, settle down, it will be fine

Mrs. Gill quotes South Park

Which, in the class, creates a spark

“Does William Goldman play William Goldman in the movie” from Nick

Alright stop said Bianca and Sarah, which gave me a kick

Well class is over which wasn’t interesting at all

I don’t know what else to say, I’ve hit a writing wall

Well since class is over, the rhyming has ended

Is the day over yet? Nope, God forbid

Chris' scribe notes from 5-2

Chris! You will be doing scribe notes today.

First order of business, Bianca got knocked up….

Mrs. Gill is passively trying to get us to be quiet… not really working that well

People start talking about torch… and something is all Wills fault

Lindsay starts complaining or something about her nails… I’m not really sure if Bianca is listening or just nodding her head

Mrs. Gill assumes that everyone is deep in chapter 5

And Mrs. Gill reads scribe notes

Mrs. Gill starts talking about her master’s degree and Megan lectures us about comic sans and how wonderful it is

About twelve minutes in and we can’t even finish the previous scribe notes…

Bianca doesn’t know who buttercup is….

Mrs Gill Explains to us that we should not be doing work on weekends and doing work now

Pointless Chatter continues

Bridget and Aron flirt with each other in their little corner

Shelly says just not to stare at me… I wasn’t planning on it shelly

Nick lets out a burp next to me… It was weak, maybe a 3 at best

Bianca, Alyssa, and Abby start laughing for no apparent reason… Abby and Alyssa continue for the remainder of the class period

Ben continues to remain quiet and seemingly on task just to stay out of the scribe notes… good try

I still have half an hour left in class…

Nick studies the map in the front of the book for a solid few minutes.

Mrs. Gill instructs Megan to remove her pants….. And Will begs for everyone’s attention as he insists his pants must be removed too

Aron is looking at me with a cold stare and I begin feel really uncomfortable

Annette and Alyssa are both checking out each other’s ears… I’m not really sure what for

With about 25ish minutes left in class everyone is silent…

Nick is looking at that map again… it must be really interesting

Bianca is intensely reading the book…

This scribe notes suck…

Mrs. Gill strolls up to her computer to watch Dyknow… and claims she is not

Mrs. Gill confronts Abby about being distracted… which she is I don’t think she has turned a page once

Sarah and Courtney quietly at work as always

Meanwhile Annette and Alyssa haven’t had a moment of silence since the class started

Wow, I think ben might have been working this whole time

Am astounded that I actually have been able to list off everyone’s names here… what an accomplishment

Courtney struggles to get her charger untangled and her laptop plugged in

Ben spots Sam Stewart in the hallway and immediately they begin a passionate stare down that ends with someone’s belt coming off

Nick goes back to the map just to double check that it is still there

Will begins reading silently just in time for class to end

I think Bridget is asleep… no one actually reads a book laying down

Shelly is darting her eyes around the room… I just have to avoid eye contact at all costs

Well I finally get to leave… time to edit these notes

Jacob's period 6 scribe notes from Friday May 2

Today started interestingly enough, Makenzie ran in trying to hug Jack and almost knocked his tooth out with her water bottle. Jack’s only concern after realizing no blood is pouring out of his mouth is that he will not be able to eat his apple, Makenzie promptly offers to eat it for him, really? You hurt him then steal his food…

“We need a scribe, Jacob?” I almost felt it coming.

“Sure,” everyone shocked at how easy the process was today. Makenzie in the middle of a full class discussion, blurted out “No homework WOOO!” While yesterday’s scribe notes are read about half the class is listening, almost half are using their computer, and then there’s Alex using his phone behind his computer with no notice of G. Taylor awkwardly starts singing at me, I quickly look away for fear of embarrassment. Makenzie admits she touched Scotty McCreery, a card board cut out, am I the only one is slightly creeped out? Adams face= priceless. Carrie shares that she can overextend her ankle scaring half the class and intriguing the rest. Jacquelyn relates Amelia’s scribe notes to William Goldman, Taylor quickly shoots her down.  G is disappointed that many people in her class have failed to read to page 196, what she doesn’t realize is that the weekend is a much more suitable time for reading long novel passages than every weeknight. We are instructed to read and Alex continues to stare at his phone waiting for the Snapchat from the girl of his dreams while Makenzie, Nina, and Carly all use their computers while we are supposed to be reading. I can’t blame Nina though AP phycology takes precedent over everything when you are assigned so much information to study.

            Hmm, yesterday Alex admitted he had only read to page 12 and today he’s at 130, skeptical at the very least. By now most of the class has calmed down and has started reading however Lucy appears to be doing something completely unrelated to English, writing a few lines, staring at her backpack, rinse and repeat. Since everything is now very boring I guess I’ll start to read, but wait history essays are wayyyy more important… What shall I choose? G is probably Dyknowing but history essays look like scribe notes right? Calling Mrs. Gill G is becoming slightly inconvenient because 4/5 times my G button doesn’t work leaving me awkwardly poking at the G button waiting for one to appear on my screen. G sighs out loud and looks at me with a look that I really don’t know how to read, maybe despise? Today is the first day G has not yet called any a dope, a failure, a complainer, a loser, and has not used the words “completely incompetent” today, must be a record. G leaves the room and everyone looks around to see what everyone else is doing. The clicking noise just came from her computer once and then again, I blame the ghost.

            But really bro, who is going to carry 3 people attached to them up a thousand foot rope. After 5 minutes G returns after 4 clicks from the ghost she appears puzzled. G quickly exits again, it amazes me that she would leave us alone in a classroom for this long however Lucy would lecture us if we did anything wrong so I guess she’s safe. G searches through the mysterious file cabinet while Alex quickly puts his book over his phone, it’s strange I have not seen it light up or him use it once, why would it be sitting on your desk do you just have 25 dollars you can give away? If so I’ll gladly take it.

            Who’s this crazy guy following them up the rope? I guess I’ll find out when I actually read this book at work. G is making a lot of noise and upon further investigation she has starbursts, hopefully she leaves the room again soon.

            Heart just sank, look at the clock and it’s only 8:24, good lord, only half over, this day is going to be a long one. Today was a particularly boring day of scribe notes, I mean nothing was really learned as a class just individual reading. G stop looking at me it’s creeping me out. Hoffman walks by, thank God he kept going. Good God Taylor your hair is fine you’ve refixed hair that has already been fixed 3 times now, these scribe notes really are getting boring when the only interesting thing happening is hair. Stupid cliffhangers, Indigo better be important to this story because I’m actually interested to see what happens to buttercup.

            When these people are building a sword it’s like picking out a new car with all of the features it has and all the purposes it serves. Domingo must be bipolar one night he is the happiest man alive and the next he is suicidal always correcting imperfections in his sword.

            G: have you read this book Kory? Kory, well…

“I have found the source of the problem, Amelia she starts all the problems. It is so quiet without Amelia here,” G. Who would have thought? I think the problem is G she says only a few words and the whole class erupts.

            Lucy bickers towards Alex for leaving his book face down and that he’s killing the book. Alex disagrees and Lucy says I’ll crack your spine, typical Alex and Lucy interaction. What? Raggedy Dick? Is that what I just heard come out of G’s mouth? Mrs. Gill if you really don’t want to hate your life do not teach that in high school. Thank God English over, peace out. Oh wait physics is next… I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE ENGLISH!!!
