Emotional Roller Coaster

So the first 20 minutes of class on October 29th was wild. We were starting out how we normally do, trying to get settled. We heard about the no-phone rule, which shook some of us to our cores. We ended up spending about 5 minutes or so talking with our substitute about her life as a flight attendant. Christian asked a few dumbass questions but we got through. He actually had one question that was so bad I have to write it down. 

So we asked our sub where she liked to go most and she couldn't pick one, so we asked where she avoided if possible. She said she didn't like Africa because it was so dangerous and because the armed escorts were scary to have around. Christian goes "Oh shit! I bet that's cause of the lions right?"  The class went silent and reveled in his stupidity. Then we moved on. 

But after we talked to the sub for a while we decided to watch the movie, but the computer locked her out. She called her friend, a guy who works here that I've seen around and I've had as a sub before. He walked in and someone asked what his story was, I recognized him and so I mentioned a lengthy discussion about gun control that I had with him. He got really upset and angry and made us all feel pretty crappy. He said we were being extremely rude to him for just walking in. I guess he mistook people being friendly as insulting or patronizing and got upset. Anyways all of us felt really bad because of how upset he got. We couldn't figure out what the deal was but after that we were all pretty down. 

Then we started the movie.
