So remember how I said that my chem teacher wasn't half as good as my old bio teacher? Well, my first chem teacher got fired, apparently (no one told us why, though all of us students knew that it was because he had no idea what he was talking about) and so now we have a new chem teacher. The first day he came, we were all like "is he a sub? who is he? he must be a sub." so the first thing he said to us was "no, I'm not a sub, I'm your new chemistry teacher." then he proceeded to try and figure out what we'd learned. The old teacher had skipped from chapter four (nomenclature) in our textbook to chapter eighteen (oxidation-reduction reactions) naturally, none of us knew what the heck we were doing, so our new teacher told us to forget chapter eighteen until like springtime when we'd actually get to it. Now, this new chem teacher still has nothing on my old bio teacher, but he does seem to at least know what he's talking about.
So, the other day, he's talking about something- balancing equations, I think, since he was writing stuff on the dry erase board- and he finishes saying something really complicated (yes, I was paying very close attention, wasn't I?) when he asks us "Clear as mud?"
Now, "clear as mud" was something the old teacher said ALL THE TIME (and described his class pretty well, actually) so when this new teacher said it, all of us students were like O.O he has said the forbidden phrase!!!!
Eventually someone said "Mr. ---- said that all the time," and new teacher was like 'oops.'
Another old chem teacher saying was "your textbook is your bible" Now, the day he said that the first time, I'd said to the guy who sits next to me-- we're arranged alphabetically, and naturally I'm first :-D-- almost those exact words. So I was all worried for about five seconds, wondering if he'd heard me talking in class. Though it didn't really matter cause we'd been working on those questions from the end of each section in the book, and therefore were kind of talking amongst ourselves.
After class was over, and I was walking my Muslim friend to her next class-- which is in the hallway directly above my next class-- and she says to me (now, she doesn't wear a hijab, like at all, and I'm fairly certain that her family doesn't really go to Mosque at all either, so she's not very religious,) "I am totally just going to come to school wearing a hijab one day, just to say 'tell me how our textbook is the bible.'"
Yeah, loads of fun....
