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.
