Oh heck, April Fool's Day. My FAVORITE! I live for practical jokes, and a day dedicated to pranks? Freaking fabulous. I was in class all day on Monday, April 1st. And the great thing was, I was in my med/surg class. My awesome teacher who is basically my Cohort's adviser and also taught my very first nursing class last semester, teaches med/surg (and labor&delivery-next semester, yay!) We have spent A LOT of time together and she knows us so well, as do we know her so well. She is the reason most of us are still in nursing school, she is our cheerleader as well as a great teacher. Professor England is her name, sometimes we refer to her as Doctor England as a joke, because she has her masters in nursing and she's basically a doctor with all of her knowledge. Let me tell you... We played the funniest prank on her, that I have EVER played on someone (and I've played a lot of pranks in my day). BUT I will have to SAVE that story for a whole separate blog post, because it was just that good. We played that prank last semester, not on April Fool's Day. We've actually played a lot of pranks on her, not on April Fool's day. . . haha, good times!
Anyway, back on topic... April Fool's Day. Saran wrap. Yes! Med/surg class is 3 1/2 hours long, so we get two 10 minute breaks. Perfect opportunity. A fellow student supplied the most giant roll of saran wrap that I have ever seen. Being the hellion-students that we are, we ran out to the parking lot during one of our breaks and found her car. Yep, we covered the entire thing, top to bottom with saran wrap. Then we hurried inside and wrapped her podium that has the computer to control the slides for lecture on it. So. . . break is over, she walks in and goes to the front of the classroom to her podium. . . "What the??" she says as we all bust up giggling. It took her a good 5 minutes to cut all the saran wrap off. Next break. . . we have a lookout that confirms she went into the bathroom. LUCKILY, her office that you have to have a code to get into, was open. Another professor was in there and we asked if she could keep a secret, she just giggled and agreed. We wrapped Professor England's office chair and keyboard in saran wrap. And I'm not talking a little saran wrap, we did millions of layers. It was so hilarious. Then, we hurried back into the classroom for the remaining lecture. At some point, we needed markers to write on the board, so she had to go into her office to get them. . . that's when we heard in her loud Canadian accent "Seriously!?!" and she started to laugh. You kind of had to be there to understand how hilarious it was, but it was sooooooooo funny. I think the funniest part was, she still had no idea that her car was covered in saran wrap, and there was no way she was getting in it without ripping it all off. We couldn't stop giggling all throughout class just thinking of her car covered in saran wrap and she had no idea. She kept asking "What the heck are you guys laughing at?" and that just made us laugh harder. At the end of class, we said "What time do you leave? Because you might want to leave before dark and you might want us to walk out with you. Oh, and bring some scissors". She just gave us that look. . . you know, the "Are you freaking kidding me?" look. Most of the class was already outside waiting to see her come out. A few of us walked out with her, and you have to know this guy. . . but he just makes it more funny by saying to us "Is she coming?" and Professor England was standing right next to us. Hahahaha. She saw her car and busted up laughing and called us "little $h*t's", that seems to be her word for us. She's a religious person too, but sometimes that curse word is the only way to describe how annoying we are, haha! We helped her cut all of the saran wrap off of her car and there was a giant ball of it by the time we were done. Then, we decided to saran wrap her. Yep, we hurried and started going around her with the wrap, wrapping her up. It only lasted a few seconds because we all started laughing so hard. Don't worry, we let her free. She is so good at taking a joke. She can play just as hard, she keeps threatening us "I love practical jokes you guys, and my family grew up tricking each other. You just wait until graduation, I can't do anything now because I would lose my job, but payback is coming". And I believe it. I'm actually a little scared, but it will be worth it. We all had such a good laugh on April Fool's Day. If the director ever found out about all of this, or certain other professors for that matter, I'm sure we would get suspended. Nursing school is pretty strict, and our jokes are very "unprofessional". But Professor England won't tell on us, she thinks it's pretty funny too. Mind you, we're all full grown adults in my class. Ranging from 21-54 years old. I love that we are so childish, I really do! You HAVE to laugh to get through all of the stress.
This post was probably really boring for all of you to read. . . I guess you had to be there. It really was such a funny day. I hope you all played at least a little joke, or at least laughed hysterically on April Fool's Day, I sure did!
Enjoy the pictures!
This is her starting to cut off all of the saran wrap off of her car. I blacked out her face for privacy reasons. . . but the look on her face was priceless!
This is her office chair covered in saran wrap.
The keyboard covered in saran wrap.
