Whata class...

I'm not gonna lie, yesterday's class was one of the oddest experiences of my life. I live a rather odd life as it is, so for this to trump all of my other classes is quite the accomplishment. Why was this class so odd? Well its actually pretty simple. The teacher didn't show up.

When we came into class we found papers on the desks explaining what we were supposed to accomplish during the class. For the first half hour or so everyone expected a teacher to come and save the day. When people started realizing that the teacher wasn't coming, they started to panic. Why kids act the way they do, is something I'll never figure out.

For some reason the fact that the teacher didn't show up reallllly bothered some kids. A couple of the people up front were seriously freaking out. Now I realize that I don't care about school as much as some students, but I found this whole day rather interesting.

I found it interesting that some of the kids felt so compelled to go to the front and try and lead our class. I appreciate their efforts, and applaud their leadership, however I cant figure out what they were expecting to accomplish without any guidance. Leadership is impossible if you have no where to lead, and yet these kids were trying to lead...

The whole day was just interesting. Some kids found it pointless, and some kids allowed the class to annoy them, however I found it interesting to see all of these kids go up and try to lead us, especially since we had no where to go...
