tales from friday afternoon study hall

two of my seniors have finished their homework and are reading during study hall.

one is reading about the principles of astrophysics.
the other is reading "hop on pop".

and they are both reading sections out loud, simultaneously.

chris: "did you know that if all the matter in the universe were compressed to one infintesimal point, the density would be 1 x 10^72 tons per cubic inch?"
sydney: "mr. brown. mrs. brown. mr. brown is upside down. pup up. brown down. pup is down. where is brown?"


oh, kids...

a hamster in a ball showed up to my first period class today.
