Little Things
Okay, so, I was recollecting this moment to Sarah today, and I realized how truly funny it is. Actually, two moments. Both occured in Spanish class.
Number One:
It's Monday morning and Senor Winger is wearing a dress shirt and a tie with a sweater over it. Again. He's wearing these amorphous black "leather" shoes with his pleated pants. I'm sitting in my desk in the front row and the bell rings. Right on cue, Brian Winger finishes dashing something illegible and Spanish onto the overhead projector, which is resting unplugged next to the chalk board that still has his too-crude-to-even-be-endearing diagrams of various objects from weeks ago on it. He starts the journey to Alex Marien's desk, where he puts the overhead projector every day. He's looking at the floor, tyring to make sure he doesn't snag a wheel on the cord. He does anyway, just as he's saying, "Buenos dias, muchachos! Que pasa este fin de semana?" He knows that only blank stares and the tops of sleeping heads await him and just says, "Nada? Bien." without even looking up. Ah, the glorious moment when Brian realized his students incurably loathe him.
Number Two:
One morning, a few days before Christmas break, I'm sitting in Spanish class next to this awkward, introverted, yet undeniably hilarious red-headed boy with glasses and braces. His name is Alex Marien. He's all dressed up for an English presentation. I know this because I asked him. We're taking the same quiz and he's finished just as I'm checking over my answers. Out of the corner of my eye, I see something colorful. Alex is rolling his tie up to his neck and letting it go. Repeatedly. I decided it would not be prudent of me to burst out laughing because 1. it would disturb the other quiz-takers and 2. it might embarass him. So, I'm finished with my quiz now and my eyes slide over to Alex. The end of his tie is resting unassumingly on the top of his desk. He leans back in his chair and it slides off the desk. I thought this would be the entire event. No. Alex Marien, looking almost startled, quietly picks up the end of his tie and places it back on the desk.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Honestly, I really love my life sometimes.
