Internet for Dummies, Wednesday 10/25, 3rd Period

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

"Did everyone have a great weekend?" Abby asked cheerfully from where she perched on a desk. "It was nice to talk to all of your parents or guardians or odd Canadian pseudo-police personnel. If I screwed up in anyway and you need me to write a letter telling them I was drunk or something, let me know."

"Today we start our section on interpersonal communication, or in other words how to meet people, stay safe and get busy online." Abby grinned. "The first step is to create an email address and learn how to use it. I know that most of you already have an address, but for the purposes of today's assignment I want you to create a new one. You'll be using this email in the next few weeks, so make sure it's something you can live with."

Abby gave a brief lecture on the history of email and how to open an account. "Okay, get to it, open an account and send an email to at least one other person in the class."

Pete looked up from his computer to say "Yeah, it's workin'," outloud before remembering that for some reason, despite the fact that they're all in the same place, they're supposed to be typing at each other, not looking at each other.

The internet was a strange place.

Angela says "Good" out loud before she remembers the same thiong and types a note to Pete.

I hope Abby isn't mad at us for talking. -Angela

It takes Pete a bit before he figures out how to respond to that.

Seems to me it'd be right foolish of her to be since we're supposed to be learning while were hear. Misteaks get made.

Yeah. And she told my dad this weekend that I needed to be more enthusiastic, so it'd be dumb for her to say that and then get mad when I talk in class.

Far as I know, she didn't talk to Brisco, so I don't know what she might have said about me. Did your dad yell at her?

Who's Brisco? And my dad didn't yell at her or at me.

He's not really a yeller.

Brisco is a pain in my bottom, but is officially listed as my legal guardian-like-person.

He's far too cheerful.

[ooc: we seem to have swapped email addresses accidentally. I think I fixed it.]

And he came? That sucks for you, if you guys don't get along.

People shouldn't be cheerful all the time.
