I think this class needs some Bubble Yum.

[The guy who has been sleeping on the floor of our Honors Algebra II class has just regained conciousness. The first thing out of his mouth was this.]

I think it's "Friends, ROMANS, Countrymen..."

[We are discussing Julius Cæsar - I beleive I've quoted happenings from such discussions before. The teacher is talking about a part of the play where Cæsar says he loves Brutus dearly - as a friend - and some still find this funny.]
Guy: What? Was Cæsar, like, gay or something?
Girl: Duh. Lots of Greeks were gay.

Study hard.

[Keeping with the theme... a quote from my Honors Algebra II class. As finals are drawing closer, today we were calculating what we had to make on the Algebra final to pass, pass with an 'A', etc. ... Random people are discussing this.]
Girl: I have to make a 90 to get an A.
Guy: I only have to make a 70.
Girl: I have to make a 83.
Guy: I have to make a 143!!!

These kinds keep us going.

[We are getting our grades in Honors Algebra II, which is quite a difficult class. I beleive I've mentioned the subject of this post before.]
Guy: Whoa! My grade went up!!!
Girl: But...you have an 18...

Guy: [excited] I KNOW!!!

And you're a genius...except when you say stuff like this.

[Girl 2 has been eating a ham sandwich. She finishes except for one bite and is getting up to throw her trash away.]
Girl 1: You might as well finish killing that animal, you know.
Guy: What? Are you like a vegetarian now or something? [She was eating chicken Friday]
Girl 1: Well yeah...except for when I eat meat and stuff.

You Should Be Deported

[This is the same government class as in the "Way to Be Pansies" post. We are reviewing for a test that we'll take later in the block over Civil Rights and Immigration.]

Kid in back: OH! ARIZONA!!!

First: {reading a poster on the wall} They are having a ffafestival. What is a ffafestival?

Other: I think you mean FFA.

First: Now THAT makes more sense.

And Columbus sailed the ocean blue in...1776?

[Our teacher has been discussing poetry. Someone asked why there were more great Entlish poets than American ones.]

You, sir, are correct.

[Spanish, second block]
Sandwich friend: I know what "hace mucho frío" means. It means it's freakin' cold!!

Hmm...

Elderly substitute teacher to guy with really long hair: Are you sure you're a boy?
No comment.

Peanut Butter: A Complex Concept

[Again, we're in Spanish, second block. "Sandwich friend" is our sanwich-eater from a post on November 21. He is also featured in the below post, as the orange juice drinker.]
Sandwich friend: Do you know what I like?
Girl: What?
Sandwich friend: Peanut butter...
Girl: Oh.
Sandwich friend: Do you realize how complicated it is to make?
Girl: You just put a bunch of peanuts in a blender and you have peanut butter, right?
Sandwich friend: No, they have to add a bunch of other crap to it...
Girl (astonished): Wow...

Orange juice isn't so healthy anymore.

[Lunch has just let out and everyone is walking back to class. There is a bottle of orange juice sitting on the water fountain. "Guy" sees it.]
Guy: Orange juice! [He picks it up and opens it.] This is like my lucky day! [He pauses before taking a drink and turns to his friend.] You don’t think somebody like peed in it or anything, do you?
Friend: No, man. It’s not full enough.
Guy: Cool. [He drinks it.]

This Can't Be Good

[Note that Friend's parents and Cousin's parents are very very strict. This is NOT the same "friend" as all the rest of the "friends" on here. In general, pseudonyms only go with individual posts.]
-
Friend: So [my Cousin] told her mom that she was going to a friend's house, but she really went to a college party. So she got like really drunk and doesn't really remember quite what happened. But she woke up in some strange college guy's bed so she's assuming that she might have---Oh! Hi, Mom!

Infidelity

Me: So is your boyfriend going to be here?
Friend: Um....which one?
- Orchestra Concert

Sounds Delicious.

Me: I'm so mad I'm like going to go home and kick a kitten!
Friend: Well, I'm so mad I'm going to go home and puree a puppy!
