Unsure, But Going With It.

I'm not exactly sure if this was a writing prompt from the website, but there was definitely something in the library that became my prompt.

What was it, you're probably asking?

Well, let me just say that it has two legs, and it's walking away right now.

That's right - a noisy student.

I can fully and respectively say that I am now completely aware of how the librarian feels. With someone talking away in the voice level used in a community swimming pool, it makes it pretty damn hard to concentrate.

Well, I can assume now that that last sentence led you to ponder what I was doing when the student was talking loudly to his friend. The answer is simple: I was trying to - and here is the key word - concentrate on my English work. That's right - I was trying to find an appropriate writing prompt that I could use to my full ability to write an outstanding blog post.

But this is all I've got, so I'm going to go with it.

"SO AND SO THINKS YOU'RE SKIPPING."
"OH YEAH?"
"YEAH."
"WELL, I DON'T CARE."

That's how the conversation went, and not only is it typed in caps for emphasis, it is typed in caps because they're voices reached octaves higher than a garbage truck.

Ridiculous.

I guess I should have assumed that the dreadful hour was nigh when the grade 9 student walked in, dressed in his wanna-be gangster clothes and the, "I-could-care-less" expression on his face, while behind him out in the hall students scurry to make it to their next class on time. If he thinks he's fooling anyone, he can think again. Grade 11 and 12 students are the only ones that may be lucky enough to be gifted with a spare block in their timetable. "Gifted" meaning that after a rigorous form that needs to be filled out there's a chance that you may not even get it.

Adding to that paragraph, grade doesn't even matter. If one were to 'skip' and decide to do so in the library - you've got to sign in. A pain in the - ehemm - but if you don't, the librarian will track you down with ease and confidence, and start her 3-part killing by first:

1. Yelling at you. ("DID YOU SIGN IN?")
1. a. When student answers with an uneasy "No...?" you get:
2. A lecture, in yelling tones. ("WELL, YOU NEED TO SIGN IN. IF THAT FIREBELL RINGS AND WE ALL HAVE TO EVACUATE, AND YOU'RE NOT ON THE LIST...")
2. a. Student then gets to feet, and signs in. You get:
3. Ms. Luis stalking you. ("MAKE SURE YOU SIGN IN!" (As she walks behind you and peers over your shoulder). "IT'S NOT 11:45 IT'S 11:46! BE EXACT! AND WHAT CLASS ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE IN? A SPARE? WELL, LET ME CHECK THAT!")

And the "let me check that" is where everyone else in the library that is supposed to be on an actual spare clues in and realises, "Hey, that guy isn't on a spare! SKIPPER! SKIPPPPPERRRR!!!!" (insert tribal fire/dance/sacrifice here. Just kidding!)

Ms. Luis has this powerful object that perches on the edge of her desk called a 'computer.' From there, she can access your information and see what class you're supposed to be in. From there, she will yell some more at you, and then call the teacher and notify them where their missing student is.

Yep. Skipping in the library is damn difficult. So if you want to skip and be noisy - go somewhere else.

Once again, I'm not exactly certain that this was even close to a prompt on that website (there's near 300 prompts and I still have a biology worksheet to do, so I didn't have the time to check - I have 55 minutes left of my spare) but I thought that this would do. So, needless to say: I'M SORRY TO ANYONE I HAVE DISTURBED, IF I EVER HAVE, IN THE LIBRARY! (Though I am definitely quiet when I'm in here, BUT STILL.)
