A Real Entry - Human Nature
It's funny, how most people aren't who you think you are. You've seen them from afar, and they seem so peculiar, but when you get up close, to observe, they aren't who you thoguht. Let's call the guy who sits next to me in Science, "Paul", if you will. He is one of the two boys in the school who I chose to observe. I don't like either of them, but it's interesting to watch, observing human nature. We'll call the other boy "James". Now, as for story lines, I have more to say about Paul, so I'll start there. Paul is in my science class (he sat in the table behind me) and my gym class (I only ever talked to him there when one of my friends congradulated him on being the first to finish the mile) and in my english class (on the other side of the room) and in study hall (same). I always thoght of him as an average working, modest person who wasn't afraid to show some class. Boy, (pun not intended) was I ever wrong. I sit next him in Science now, and today, we had a Tornado warning (I've always been REALLY scared of having a tornado {like an uncontrolable phobia} and in math, when I confessed that to one of my friends, the WHOLE CLASS erupted in talking about the tornado). So, he's all fired up about it confused We were doing a lab, in science, lots of chemistry, and he kept saying he wanted to blow up the school So much for class. When we mixed Copper Sulphate with magnesium ribbon, little black particles fell the the bottom of the beaker. You teacher had one of the overhead, so we could so from below. So many black parts fell from the over head, I pointed at it and said "Ew, it's all black." Now, you all know I meant the color, not the race, but he was calling me racist all block long. So much for modest. For some reason my teacher, in the beginning of class, selected me as "Lab Goggles Master" so I got to put everyone's away, and turn on the gamma rays and the alpha rays and whatever else to clean them. I get a token every time. Tokens are this little laminated pice of paper with a picture of the earth on it, and if we collect 5 every two weeks we can go to the treat box, which is filled with random crap. I looked at it, and thinking aloud it said "Couldn't you just photo copy these, then cut them out then laminate them?" Then, of course, he says, "Thats a good idea! I acttually have all those things at my house!" So much for average working. Incase you were concerned about James, he is in no classes of mine, but we is in my luch, where I observe human nature from afar, and I would tell you all of the "wonderful" stories from last year when he WAS in my classes, but it's late, I'm sick, and should be in bed. Thanks for reading.
