Hallway as defined by dictionary.com: "An entrance hall." Hallways as defined by Jamesville-DeWitt High School: Overly crowded, obnoxious, awkward space between doors that come out of absolutely no where, and of course the lovely encounters with random people you collide with.
But it's also a warehouse of random sayings and amusing conversations.
"I promise I'm not violating you."
"Awww, you're a pretty girl."
"Pregnant women are mean."
"Okay - all this man-touching seriously needs to stop!"
" YO, we had to dissect a pigeon."
"What the junk?!"
"You'd be the worst drug dealer ever."
Boy: "Try putting hand sanitizer on then lotion after. Your hands feel so soft!"
"I watched "˜Paranormal Activity' with my grandma over the weekend. I had trouble falling asleep that night."
"I do have a neck. It just likes to play hide-n-seek on me and I'm not that great at seeking it."
Girl: "You don't need that class to graduate!!"
Boy: "I WANT TO FINISH IT ANYWAY."
Teacher: "Why are you sitting on the ground?"
Girl: "To look at the world from a different perspective."
Teacher #1: "Once you eat one you just can't stop."
Teacher #2: "That's why I have two."
Teacher: "Haven't seen you for a while. Where you've been?"
Student: "Hiding."
Teacher: "Good spot."
While walking by a classroom we heard the teachers hard at work with their students. The following came from teachers' own mouths:
"Oranges, figs, Italian olive oil, tobacco."
"Half the people from here say, "˜I went acrossed the street.' No you didn't. You went ACROSS the street."
"Sit there and ponder your place in the universe."
"I don't understand in 'Titanic' why Jack let Rose stay on the door while he froze to death in the water. There was clearly enough room for both of them."
"Guys DON'T DO body language."
"Hit play THEN rewind."
Once students are tucked away in their classrooms for an 82-minute period, they seem to be learning lots of things, for example:
"This new phone holds so many messages. I've had messages since like, what's it called? Oh yeah, New Years."
Girl #1: "I WANT THAT DRESS"
Girl #2: "It was only 5 dollars."
"Oh my stars of Eliza."
"Why's it called wood?"
"Go on Google and type in "˜death penalty information center'."
"Hey Mr. Brown, is JD in DeWitt or Fayetteville?"
Or maybe not.
