Of course, it was helpful that I managed to impress most of them with my mad typing skills. One of the girls asked me how I was able to type so quickly, I said "practice" and she looked confused.

Plus, I got to take the register. Or, more accurately, the teacher suddenly told me I was taking the register and left the room while I did it. That was quite nerve-wracking.
