Last night,
while I was doing my homework, Angela (call) .
She said she (call) 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) a picture of a horse. When Angela (tell) me she was not satisfied with the class, I (mention) that my biology professor was quite good and (suggest) that she switch to my class.
While we were talking, I (hear) her professor yell, "Miss, are you making a phone call?" Suddenly, the line went dead. I (hang) up the phone and went to the kitchen to make dinner. As I (cut) vegetables for a salad, the phone rang once again. It (be) Angela, but this time she wasn't sitting in class.
