Interstellar Relations, Monday

Laura stood at the front of the room, clad in one of her more casual sweaters -- green -- and a pair of jeans. Atop her head was a green santa hat with white fur adorning the headband and fuzzball. It seemed she was enjoying this new holiday.

"Good morning, all," she said. "I hope you had a good weekend. Today's class is going to be a fairly easy one -- one essay question and a survey, then you're home free. I hope you all have a wonderful winter season."

Turning, she went to the whiteboard and wrote out the essay question: Part One: What is the most important thing you learned in this class, and what role does it play in interstellar relations? She then added below: Part Two: What did you like about the class, and what didn't you like about the class? In other words, where is there room for improvement?

"I promise not to take the criticisms personally. Given that I'm accustomed to teaching a much younger crowd, I'll file it away as a learning experience." She smiled. "That being said, I've enjoyed the class this term, and I hope to see you again in the spring.

"Now -- get writing!"

Grinning, she settled in to her desk and began working on Christmas cards...for the Galactica crew. Why not share the fun, she thought.

Anders filled up about half of his blue book with a slightly rambly essay on the importance of understanding the different sections of government, what roles they play, and how they would be expected to work together in possible conflict situations.

The last paragraph was a bit of a detour, though.

Most importantly, I think I've learned that this stuff isn't as hard to understand as I was afraid it might be. A guy like might not be the perfect politician or anything like that, but that doesn't mean I couldn't do it if I had to. And that's kind of nice to know.
