It was a long week. I administered six AP exams, and I have six more to give next week.
When you spend six or seven hours a day watching students take exams, life tends to take on humorous undertones.
Such was the case today.
While taking a break during the U.S. History Exam, I, along with the other proctors, hurried to get snacks, drinks, and potty breaks.
I ran to the teacher’s restroom, and gripped the door handle. Upon discovering that it wasn’t locked, I unbuckled my belt – ready to do my business in record time.
As I pulled open the door, I spied someone else in there…
Another substitute teacher…
A MALE substitute teacher.
He was standing at the sink, but my brain did not process it this way.
My eyes simply saw a man…
In the bathroom.
I screamed a girlie scream, pulling my shirt over my unbuckled belt.
As I slammed the door shut, I heard his normally deep voice scream a girlie scream.
I was mortified!
He exited a minute later, and I apologized.
He did too, but we both were laughing.
“I wasn’t doing anything,” he assured me.
“Why didn’t you lock the door?” I asked.
“I was only checking my hair,” he continued.
“Next time LOCK THE DOOR,” I implored.
We have five more days of testing to go, and I do not want this to happen again.
I learned a couple of lessons:
1) Next time I’ve gotta pee, I’ll knock.
2) There will be no unbuckling until I’m safely in the bathroom with the door locked!
