If I may ask, what were you doing in science class?
Science students were considered brilliant back then while their counterparts were seen as subpar. Not sure I really had a penchant for science but hey, I was brilliant.
The word, "ponder" made me remember my Engineering Mechanics
He usually ask us to ponder over unfinished classwork and assignment.
So all my friends refer to him as "ponder on it" .. lol
We use to call our biology teacher 'dancing can' because of the way he gesticulates while teaching
It was really an eureka moment in an eureka class :)
