me on her cell phone from her biology classroom at UCLA. I asked her if she (wait)
for class, but she said that the professor was at the front of the hall lecturing while she (talk)
to me. I couldn't believe she (make)
a phone call during the lecture. I asked what was going on.
She said her biology professor was so boring that several of the students (sleep, actually)
in class. Some of the students (talk)
about their plans for the weekend and the student next to her (draw)

that she switch to my class.
