Public School Story- The Strange Subsitute

So, the other day, my AP Environmental Science teacher was absent. Sadly, he was not sick and was just sent to a workshop. I know that sounds bad, that we wished he was out sick, but at my school, if a teacher is out for any reason besides a workshop, the school does not hire a substitute. Instead, we sit in the cafeteria for that class period. It's really fun if you have friends in that class with you and an absolute nightmare when you don't. Anyway, back to the sub.

We had a sub named Mr. Sub* filling in for Mr. A*. Mr. A had left a note for Mr. Sub that said : Type this movie title in YouTube and it will be the first one on the list of results.

Unfortunately, it was not the first one. Mr. Sub however, didn't realize that and for the entire 50 minute class period we watched a documentary entirely in Russian. 

That's right! RUSSIAN!

We were supposed to take notes and turn them in at the end of class, so all everyone did was write down the things they saw on the screen. My notes were things like old men talking, blue shipping containers, and man playing a banjo. It was a strange documentary made even stranger by the fact that it was not in English.

Now you may be thinking, how on earth did Mr. Sub not notice the movie was in Russian? or why did no one tell him that the movie was in Russian?

The answer is, Mr. Sub was really mean and if anyone tried to contradict him, he would send them out of class. So we just sat and took fake notes about a Russian documentary.

All in all, it was a pretty fun day.
