Biology

Today I am going to blog about what happened yesterday during Biology class.

See, we were supposed to bring leaves to school yesterday for some reason that wasn't disclosed beforehand but the problem was that: nearly ALL of us had forgotten to do so. The teacher had forbidden us to pluck the leaves of our school's flora because-and I quote- "the school is lacking in leaves". Yeah right, it's not like there aren't a lot of trees and potted plants in the school or anything, nope. Our school still lacks..leaves.

Unfortunately for her, we weren't the type of people who would rather take the fall for our actions than not take advantage of what was already in front of us in order to avoid punishment. So everyone started to pluck. And I was one of them. It was shameful act, I admit but nonetheless, I had a butt to save. 

Actually this wouldn't be a huge problem if they'd done it discreetly instead of laughing and talking REALLY LOUDLY when committing the crime. Seriously, you'd think a thief would be stupid enough to break everything in his/her way when stealing something to avoid suspicion. I laugh at my classmates' carelessness. 

I of course, chose the smarter route and quietly plucked a leaf. If everyone were like me then maybe- just maybe- we'd avoid getting noticed. But that's not what happened now is it.

As you'd probably guessed by now, we received a lecture from our teacher once we stepped foot into the Biology lab. She started off by asking if there was anybody amongst us who plucked their leaf from outside of the school's compound. Only 2 students raised their hands. Heh.

Then she asked the people who didn't have a leaf to stand up. 2 people stood up. After that she  proceeded to ask the people who plucked the leaves inside the school's compound to stand up. Needless to say, a lot of us rose up from our seats. And the lecture began.

"The plants are man-made - wait, not man-made but planted by humans, do you know what I mean? They didn't exist naturally unlike the trees outside."

"Why can't you all follow orders? I said to not pluck the leaves of the school's plants."

 "Our school's lacking in leaves."

I can't recall the rest of the lecture but I hope you get the point: Plucking the leaves of the school's plants is unacceptable whilst plucking the leaves of plants outside of the school's compound is certainly acceptable. As if they won't grow more leaves.

Next, the teacher was contemplating on whether or not she should punish us but soon let us off with a warning. I can't speak for the rest of my classmates but I for one will definitely take heed of her warning.  She is not someone you should mess with or take lightly that's for sure. I have been fortunate enough to not receive any of her punishments but I can tell you, I've witnessed them and they are embarrassing. Really, really embarrassing.

Annnnnd that's what happened yesterday. I have to confess that this was a really fun er, thing or scenario to experience and I look forward to whatever scenarios awaits us in the near future. 



We don't have much time left...
