since when did SHS teachers get so cool?

You may have heard about my woes concerning my high school's crackdown on electronics, especially ipods. As fellow audiophiles, you can understand how hard it is to do work in utter silence, especially when the class requires working alone for extended periods of time. Now summer eyes and I are in the same art class, and in this class, we discovered a loophole in the system. I guess all artsy people are like-minded because as of late, our art teacher has been playing Fiona Apple nonstop. Not only that, but the chorus teacher (who is also my advisor) had an extra set of speakers, and the art teacher let us hook up our ipods to these speakers and play everything from Regina Spektor to Sufjan Stevens to Tegan and Sara, as long as the tunes are semi-mellow. I guess these teachers recognize the need for good music during these formative years in our development. Haha. Also, summer eyes was wearing a lovely Bright Eyes shirt today with an interesting and rather mathematical graphic on it. I commented that our nerdy analysis teacher would love it. Then, at lunch she exclaimed, "Pam, you're never gonna believe this! I asked Shultz (the analysis teacher) if he liked my shirt and he said 'Bright Eyes...like Conor Oberst right?'" Since when does my 38-year-old analysis teacher (who doesn't have kids and supposedly only watches the History and Discovery channels religiously, with the occasional PBS) know about one of the most tortured souls in indie rock? I have yet to figure this one out.Anyway, the point is, I've really got to start giving these Griffinites more credit. :)
