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.

Puppies! Tulips! Ice Cream! Dead Bodies!

….. 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.

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).
