Webbage

Biology is probably one of the most boring topics that I have to study. However everyone in the class and the teacher find a way to make it exciting. Mr. Bates makes up all kinds of interesting vocabulary. The class has decided that we need to start making a dictionary so that first year students next year can understand what Mr. Bates is trying to say. For example today we were talking about webbed feet and hands and he tells us a story about his college room mate who had serious webbage. We had no clue what he was talking about and he explained to us that it meant that he had webbed feet. The other day he also made up another word. He was telling us that a microscope can be potable. We had no clue what potable was and he says you know it can be moved. In unison the class said oh you mean portable and he said no I mean potable. So then the class went on to make it into a verb and said that you can pote the microscope. He also said that it cost a lot of g's which we knew that he meant money. Also another fun thing about IB Biology is that Mr. Bates is obsessed with donuts. So one day we asked him if we could have a donuts one morning and he said of course and handed us a ten dollar bill. So the class ended up ordering 5 dozen donuts and 3 dozen donut holes. Surprisingly there weren't that many donuts left. We were hoping that since we were taking the test that day that maybe he wouldn't grade them as hard since we got donuts. Biology is definitely not the most interesting subject but we find ways to make it exciting as we can. Especially now that we know what webbage and potable mean.
