Two English Classes in a Row

When my History class was cancelled today, I joined Marena's English class. It's not a long story but I don't feel like telling it now. Anyway, the teacher was talking about how hard writing is, and he said, "What do most writers do?"
"Give up" guessed a student.
"Become alcoholics," answered the teacher. "What do all the best writers do?" he continued.
"Drugs!" said a student.
"Commit suicide," said the teacher.

I don't know--I thought it was kind of funny. :)

After that, I went to my real English class. I sat down, got ready, and looked to the front of the classroom where I saw someone who was not my English teacher writing "D-block Agenda" on the blackboard. Do we have a substitue teacher? I was thinking. That would be strange, since the school doesn't have any substitues anymore. Then my English teacher walked in. She looked at the front of the classroom and a confused expression came over her face. After a few seconds, it cleared into a smile and she mouthed to the class. "Oh--student teacher!" The entire class started laughing a little bit as the student teacher, unaware of these goings-on, finished preparing for her lesson.
