"Bizarre" Student Interaction

Today is a half-day, so school will be dismissed at noon. I am currently in the computer lab, having different classes and students arrive in my classroom. So far today I had a student tell me I look tired. His discription had been rather poetic.

"Ms. Egolf, you normally look like a bonfire but today you are like the embers left over."

Lovely. Made me smile. This is one of the students I wish I had the chance to have in my class. Instead, I've made a deal with him where he can serve any detention time he has with me in room 219. He has been scanning in some of his oh so awesome manga-inspired sketchbook images, and editing these in Adobe Photoshop.

Last hour I had a student walk into the lab to talk with one of the students in an English class. When I was attempting to ask him where he was going, he acted like he didn't speak English and delivered some strange dialog. He eventually left. I looked at one of the girls who had been closest to the incident and described it to her as "bizarre". She found the word funny, and said she was going to start using it. Sooo.... I talk some "slang" today. Ha!
