A Chocolate break
Today in class, as I fell asleep about 6 times in the very warm room, I was awaken to find out we were switching rooms. No big deal, I was thankful for the fresh air and the cold lab that was sure to keep me awake.
While walking back to the lab, Michelle sniffs the air and then informs me that there is a chocolate fountain in the area. lol. So now we are both sniffing the air for the smell of chocolate.
Once in the lab, I notice that about half the class is missing. It wasn’t a hard guess where they were when they slowly started showing up back in class… with plates of fruit dipped in chocolate.
Michelle, Wideline, and I start chattering in our corner about the random event. A student walks back into the room, which Wideline was more than happy to infrom that they were being crazy for walking out of class for chocolate, but her argument did not last long. The moment she saw a chocolate cupcake, the rest of her comment was long gone from her thoughts. Michelle of course turned towards me, looking very serious, to only inform me that I was to “stay behind and take notes.”
So off the two of them went to explore the magical area in ASSAF where the chocolate fountain was located. Still in shock at the madness, I take a look around the room to see more than half the class eating who knows what, and about 2 students actually listening to profesor Ahmed. He suddenly realizes that something is very wrong and looks around to find his students in what to him must have looked like a huge mess of 6 year olds. There was liquid form chocolate all over the lab. And just what did our professor have to say? “Hey, were did you guys get that?”
Not long after his sudden realization that his students weren’t listening, was Professor Ahmed getting his own plate, thus ending the class.
Wideline brought me back a cupcake and we all packed up our stuff. As I passed the booth with all the goodies lined up nicely, I found the source of all the distraction, the library! Now, I thought they were supposed to help us learn! Oh well, I got to hand it to the library staff, they sure do know how to get the students attention!
I must say though, Professor Ahmed had the last laugh at the end of the day. We are still bio majors, and so all he had to do was pour some strange liquid into a bowl with some purple powder which caught fire and filled the lab full of smoke for 15 minutes to get our attention back. I’ve got to hand it to the man, he knows how to keep his students!
