Sarah's May 1 period 1 scribe notes

What Mama Genre Wanted to Happen Today:
For us to read pages 97 – 218 in The Princess Bride. We would read through last night’s scribe notes and then after that was over we would happily get out our books and read the pages that were required to read or to silently work on our journals. Mama Genre wanted to have a nothing but productive class full of students learning who actually the man in black is and the adventures that he has with the princess.

What Actually Happened:
Class began with a discussion of Jake Holtz and the drama revolving around those details. We found out that Lindsay and the rest of the school is a “bully” for calling Slim, Slim. Then I found out that we got our Physics quizzes back. Crap.

Then the discussion steered towards the thousandth joke about drug testing and Breathalyers (2/2 whaddup). Someone says “lets drug test her for being drunk”. Interesting. TKM (total Kennedy move).

Scribe notes are starting to be read (P.S. Erin I didn’t think our eye contact was awkward). Annette Kilian (did I spell it correctly?) complains about comic sans. And of course, Shelley disagrees and LOVES comic sans. TSM.

Now Bridget is talking about cheap nail polish? And she looks really lost without Erin next to her.

Will starts throwing a glasses case and Megan claims it as her own. Ben still hasn’t said a word this whole semester. With the exception of his debate and when he’s talking to Chris. So just kidding Ben talks all the time.

Mary Cannon makes a surprise entrance. She starts screaming about name dropping and makes quite a scene.  Gotta love Mary.

Alyssa looks like she is in desperate need of a cigarette to feed her smoker’s cough.

Will randomly brings up string cheese to me? I still don’t know what he was talking about.

Everyone is talking right now and I honestly don’t know about what, nor do I care enough to try and find out.

Lindsay complains about how Mrs. Gill  Mama G ignores her. And Shelley looks offended as Mama G accuses her of not doing work. Once again TSM.

BEN IS ACTUALLY TALKING.

Jack Piephoff gets busted reading The Princess Bride in another class. Megan spoils the book for the room. Bianca gets pretty pissed about this. I’m surprised she didn’t say “aw pickles”.

Now we are instructed to read the book. About five minutes in I notice Abby isn’t even holding the book the right way.

Will decides to get something out of the middle of the circle, Mama G gets a little annoyed with him but he hits his head. Karma.

Quote of the year: “That was the moment in my career that I was willing to hurt a student for the sake of a laugh”. Thanks mama G.

Plot twist. Bridget doesn’t read at all. She just looks at her nails the whole time.

Alyssa is playing with someone’s glasses. Welcome to high school Alyssa.

Megan starts to use her book as a baseball bat. Creative. All while Chris is staring at the clock. As usual, god only knows what Shelley is doing.

Plot Twist. Apparently the man in black is Will Smith.

Shelley isn’t doing English at all, she’s doing Torch. Which is something that she can’t complain about so that’s good.

Just kidding Shelley is making exasperated hand motions at her computer.

I’m pretty sure Chris just ordered pizza.

A few people are reading.

Abby isn’t even remotely looking at her book.

If I had a dollar for every time I made semi-uncomfortable eye contact during this scribe-sesh… I’d have about six dollars. Ben I promise I’m not stalking you.

I’m pretty sure Abby fell asleep.

Will brags about how he is beating Annette because he is farther in the book than her. She responds with “Shut up, Will”.

Someone has her phone out. Really discrete.

13 minutes till lunch.

Courtney comes in and asks “What did I miss”. Mrs. Gill responds “nothing”. I chose a horrible day to scribe.

Wait why did Courtney choose to sit alone?

Bujnak hasn’t moved all class period.

Abby is now decorating her book mark. Abby the amount you stare at the clock doesn’t make it move faster.

6 minutes till lunch.

Even Mrs. Gill looks bored.

I think Abby has procrastinated more than Chris today. At least Chris ordered food.

Lindsay packed up 2 minutes early. Everyone is shutting their books. And off to lunch we go.
