"Y'all must be the gov'ment people!"
One of my favorite things about Intro to Adobe is careening around the room in my rolly chair. Seriously. I know I'm not usually one to say this about things I learn in school, but... *adopts a whiny tone* When am I ever going to use this in real life? Sure, it's fun and all making drawings of fruit and houses and movie theater marquees (and I'm even getting better at using the stupid 'pen' tool), but I'm much rather be taking World History II (gripe, gripe, gripe...), or The 60s, or Russian-Studies-in-an-actual-class-as-opposed-to-an-independent-study. But still, the rolly chairs almost make it worthwhile. Almost.
Oh, guess what? We have GOVERNMENT PEOPLE at school! (And if you're thinking about the X-Files episode Bad Blood... no, not that kind of government people. Unfortunately.) Apparently, every public school in the country needs to be inspected for accreditation every ten years, and last time we were inspected, we were put on probation because of the old building. Hee. So for this week, random people working for the Department of Education (or something) are going to be wandering around, 'shadowing' people (aka stalking you and following you to all your classes), and deciding whether our building, teachers, and curriculm is 'worthy' of accreditation. Needless to say, the teachers are freaked. No Skull Pops are being sold this week- they were sold last week, and they're going to be back on sale next week, but heaven forbid the government people see students sucking on lollipops during class! No eating in classrooms at all, no matter what, even though most teachers usually let you anyway! And remember, kids- if a random stranger comes up to you in the hallway and asks you how to get to a certain classroom, don't go tell Mrs. Wotton that we have an intruder like you're usually supposed to do- help them! Be helpful! Be nice! And for the love of God, wait until next week to pull any senior pranks!
So far, I've only had one person come into one of my classes- this old man came in during Band, while we were sightreading Fable and Folk Tale (haha, spoken parts FTW)- really, really badly. He stood by the door to the Drama Office for about five minutes (at first, Mr. LaForce acted like he didn't notice he was there- 'act natural, they want to see the school as it is on a typical day'... yeah, right!- then he went over and was all suave, "Oh, hi, I'm Marc LaForce!" *handshake*). During the time he was standing there, Mr. LaForce was a lot more calm and patient. For example, when Alex was playing out of turn (meaning, banging the cymbals over and over again), Mr. LaForce just stood there smiling for a few seconds, then whistled to get his attention. Instead of, you know, insulting his intelligence the way he normally does.
With the way things have been going so far, this week should be pretty entertaining.
