freebies

The huge mass of students playing cards in the back is gone this time around in Ms. Dickson's Activity Period. Normal banter now prevails. Sports talk fills the air thanks to the newspaper I swiped from the History Department. You've got to know where all the freebies are on campus. Free coffee, free newspapers, and... well, I'm sure there's other free stuff somewhere. Free phone calls. Free post-it notes.I dropped by Miss Slob's room this morning. Seeing the lights were on in the room, I knocked three times with confidence. Nothing. I spoke up and said, “This is not a student at the door.” Nothing. I then recalled that a student had knocked on her door yesterday during first period (her conference period) and she ignored them. I was in the room with her briefly before she took most of her students away for some debate field trip thing. "Oh, they'll go away" was her reply. Man, she is freakin' WEIRD. I left, pissed at being ignored. Dammit.
