Strong Sense of Smell

Today was just like any other day, wake up, whine about the fact that you exist, go to school by a bus filled with hyperactive monkeys (yes the kids, even though it's only 7:35, they have no problem screaming and jumping), sit in the damned class room (here, in Jordan, or my school the students are divided between 3 sections or 2, and THEY are the ones who stay in the classroom, and teachers move from class to class for each period), wait for the next 6 hours to be over, and then go home in the same bus with same but more hyperactive monkeys with much, much louder shrieking voices.

But a few things, as usual, stood out. What are you supposed to do when a teacher comes in and asks after a while: "Does anyone smell gasoline? or is it just me?" Of course, you start sniffing everything around you, including the windows, until you've experienced every smell EXCEPT gasoline. OF COURSE IT'S JUST YOU!  I wouldn't elaborate on it if she had stopped asking and saying: "i still smell gasoline," i swear to god it would've been better if she'd said: "i hear voices," i don't know why, but that somehow makes more sense.

Something else, we have this thing when one girl or a group of girls do something wrong, or frowned upon, or forbidden (not religiously speaking, or even lawfully actually), the teacher has to call the principle so that she would scold the WHOLE class, no exceptions, and at the end of the whole thing she would just start staring, i would assume she would be thinking of a punishment. Seriously? I think, i just THINK, you could have figured that out on your here? Just maybe, the whole 3-floor walk from your damn office to our class.

The thing is when EVERYONE gets scolded or scorned or whatever you want to call it, and the people who had absolutely nothing to do with it tell her "why are you yelling at us????" She would just answer: "the guilty one know that it's meant for them". What if they didn't? It's not a freaking Supreme Court! What if the class was just filled with a bunch of ignorant show-offs who might have been day dreaming throughout the whole thing, and didn't catch one freaking word?

Looks like this year is going to be one hell of a show. I just want the next two years to be over, and i still have  a whole half a year till senior year. Yeppee!
