S.S. Merewether Milky

*After walking in the classroom and finding no one in the front row:*
Mrs Raby: "Why are you moving so far away from me? Back row, move here."
*Back row laughs*
Mrs Raby: "Haha, no I'm serious."
Jenny: "Are you really that lonely?"
Mrs Raby: "Loaded?"
...it'd explain a few things.

Mrs Scollay: "Kelby, use your calculator."
Kelby: "I didn't bring it."
Mrs Scollay: "If you go for a driving lesson, do you forget to take the car?"

Jenny: "Why are you wearing all that black."
Mrs Raby: "I'm turning Goth. I'm getting lots of piercings on the weekend."

"I know nothing about Chemistry. One thing I do know is not to teach it without the Mona Lisa of Science. My best friend... I don't have many friends... Second best! Calculator is my best friend." - Mrs Walker

*Mr Sajko sitting in a low chair...*
Mr Sajko: "Sitting in a chair like this gives you a whole new perspective of the world. *Looks straight at Jenny* I bet you're glad you're wearing trousers."

Mrs Walker: "Lithium is gorgeous. It's one of the most reactive of the metals."
Trent: "Don't all the metals in the left column?"
Mrs Walker: "Trent, you're gorgeous."
Stick: "You're in Trent!"

Jenny: "When does the bell go?"
Saxon: "Half an hour."
Millie: "What?!"
Saxon: "Wait, no... 10 minutes."

Mrs Raby: "Jenny, come and read your writing out."
Jenny: "In German?"
Mrs Raby: "...yes."
Jenny: "*Blah blah blah* ... Viele Gruesse, Yenny. I mean Jenny!"
(Note, in German you say J as a Y)

*Jenny covers up "The Mou"*
Millie: "It's ok. I can't read."

Mrs Raby: "You get hayfever from pollen, dust..."
Max: "Hay."
Jenny: "Even cats. Wait, no... that's cat allergy."

"No matter what we make. We've still made the same thing." - Mrs Walker. (I really hit my full stop button hard then...)

Mrs Raby: "[A member of staff] doesn't like exchanges. There's nothing I can do about it unless I put a bomb under her/his chair. Don't you dare repeat that! I will know!"

Yeah, that's right. "The Mou" tells you things that it's not actually supposed to.

Last post for a while. TREASURE THIS ONE WHILE YOU CAN!

I guess I should have told you to treasure it at the beginning...oops. Oh well. You'll live.

...for now.

Smell You Later

Jenny: "Where's Abu Dhabi?"
Mrs Raby: "Isn't that in Saudi Arabia? Why?" (It's not, it's in The United Arab Emirates)
Jenny: "Oh, I just asked because we're stopping over there on the way to France, Germany and England."
Mrs Raby: "The way you said that was funny."
Jenny: "You spent ages talking to Sam about where his SISTER goes and you don't care about me! I WANT ATTENTION! *Bangs hands on desk*"
Mrs Raby: "I hadn't noticed."

Mrs Golder: "You were talking!"
Stick: "What? No, I wasn't."
Mrs Golder: "You were sitting there talking to yourself!"

Mrs Raby: "DEAN! YOU'RE BACK! Every day you've been away I've called out your name so today I didn't and you're back!"
Max: "The crazy antics of this classroom, you wouldn't believe it."

Jenny: "Why were you laughing all throughout my speech?"
Emily: "I couldn't look at you for half of your speech because it was so out of character for you to use such big words. It wasn't you making that speech!"

Mrs Raby: "I'd never been behind the wheel of a car before the age of 23...oh, wait. Once. I drove my boyfriends car into the North Sea... He still talks to me. Anyway! You'd all catch buses if I was in charge of this country. AND! You'll all be speaking German!"

Emily: "My hands are shaking."
Jenny: "Mine aren't..."
Emily: "STOP THAT!"
Sophie: "Hahah yeah, stop not moving."

Mrs Scollay told everyone to be quiet during the test, but then when she came to my table she asked me how I was going. So... I wonder who Mrs Scollay's favourite is?

"...I feel really geeky talking about Neopets whilst solving a Rubix Cube." - Jenny, talking about Neopets whilst solving a rubix cube.

Jenny: "So how old was the naked lady you were drawing yesterday?"
Caity: "30 something..."
Mr Priestley joins in: "Does she get paid well?"
Caity: "She was there for 3 hours so probably."
Mr Priestley: "I'd want like $300, maybe $3000 if children were drawing me."
Rhiannon: "What about $10,000?"
Mr Priestley: "Hey, I'd stand up naked right now. Except...it'd be difficult to explain what that has to do with Urban Growth and Development."
*Jenny resists the urge to make a crude comment*

Jenny: "Oh, this is my stop."
Millie: "Good luck. I mean in avoiding all the rapists and stuff..."
Jenny: "The rapists from HSPA! *Looks at random Year 7 HSPA kid called James* You're going to grow up to be a rapist."
I really hope that that kid isn't the type of kid who takes career advice from strangers.

I was at the hospital the other day visiting a sick relative when this family wearing masks walk through the waiting room. The mother of the family says to the nurse "I'd like to see my holiday snaps now!" and then follows her family into a little door at the side of the room. My mother and I exchanged glances...
A little later on a nurse goes through the little door. As it swings open we hear a Doctor say "Yes, it is swine flu." and then the door closed again.

Yeah, I was standing thiiiiiiiiiis far away from people with Swine Flu. That makes me famous by association apparently! Woot!
