Brawl

Yesterday, as Cielle had stated, was rather exciting. I witnessed two or three brawls over minor issues, that I found funny. Both took place in my language class, I was involuntarily sandwich between squabbling students discussing matters of how abundant their language skills were. In the same class only a short bit later, two kids started fighting over who would be the one to turn out the lights, in order to see the projector better. This was a wildly random quarrel and my teacher was prepared to quickly end it. Over this same projector, in language, the class discussed how nice our teachers new overhead was, compared to her other, and this discussion dragged on for much longer then it really should have.
My friends and I usually spend our break and lunch in the courtyard, because it is where we can best entertain ourselves, take today for example: we were calmly enjoying the 80 degree weather by sitting on a table, and suddenly, as quick as a fly moves about, our peace was rashly shattered. A kid (Marty!) had cleared the bushes, just jumped right over them spontaneously and landed bottom first into the inappropriately placed trashcan. It was something tremendously hilarious, seeing that a teacher supervisor was watching the scene quite closely. He had cleared the hedges but didn't make it over the trashcan, he landed and scrunched the plastic can as well as knocking it over. Its dirty day old contents emerged and they lay strewn about on the concert courtyard floor. A passerby with astonishingly bright red hair, made a very nice remark after this incident, "That was an excellent 360 twist into trash, nice!"
I gained a new obsession for neatly folding my paper product garbage after lunch before admitting it into the trashcan or recycling bin.
