My Physics Class is Not What You Would Call Average

Here are some odd moments from physics class:

A few days ago, my physics teacher was talking about different kinds of light waves. She was being very energetic, so she said, "These ones are really energetic, like Ms. Mayer. These ones are not very energetic, like Mr. Turtle." Someone in the class said, "Actually, I know a turtle who's very fast." None of us really knew what she was talking about. "You know a turtle?" someone asked incredulously. "Are you good friends?"

In my class there are two people who have really funny sounding laughs: Jerry and Mariella. One time Jerry started laughing, and then Mariella started laughing at his laugh, and Jerry started laughing more at Mariella's laugh, untill the whole class was laughing uncontrollably. A real life example of posative feedback.

Around the begining of the school year, when our teacher left the room one time, we turned off all the lights and hid under the desks. When Ms. Mayer came in, we yelled "surprise!" and jumped out. The next time she left the room, we did it again. Then, after months of not doing that, one time when she left, we did it again. "It was cute the first time," she said, "But now..."
