Oooh yeah!! That same annoying policy is at our school, and I heard that the policies are gonna be even stricter! They say they're gonna ban the use of cell phones and iPods... During LUNCH

!!! I personally can care less about cell phones, but iPods? What did iPods do to deserve this?? It's almost like iPods and cell phones are gonna become illegal at school!!!

T_T
This is most likely gonna happen in the future:
School Officer: Hey you! Stop right there!
Me: What?
Officer: [pulls out a fine ticket and hands it to me]
Me: [widens eyes] WHAT'S THIS!!!????
Ticket: [$250 fine for having iPod out]
Sorry!! Way OFF TOPIC!!!
But yeah, now because I'm in high school, everybody now sees carrying plush toys with you as "babyish"...

About the only exception is if you got a plushie from your boyfriend, or if you're a girl (and luckily I am) and bring something tiny as a plushie...
At least since these plushies in particular are microbes, you can at least come up with some excuse for bringing them over, lol ^-^ (For Science!!)
