fandomhigh | Comparative Religions, Monday, Period 3, Week #8

"Good morning, my class!" Vala greeted them cheerfully as they entered. Possibly waaaaay too cheerfully. No, she wasn't going to explain that either. In any event, there was a large jar of applesauce on Sam's desk for him. "First, a huge thank you to my able assistant who I am told did a wonderful job explaining paganism. However, if you have any questions about it, I'll be happy to answer them. Due to my unavoidable absence last week, you missed out on the midterm, which will be more of a practical--mostly because I don't feel like grading tests this weekend--and take place over the course of this week."

"Your assignment is to choose one of the religions we've studied so far--not your own--and immerse yourselves in it for the week. Customs, beliefs, style of dress if that makes a difference, religious practices, all of it. I want you to become a member of that faith. And then I want you to be prepared to give an oral presentation on your experiences next week, so we can all learn from what you learned. Isn't cooperation fun?" Again with the big grin.

"So, please sign in and choose your religion, then come up with a plan of att--er, action--for the week."

I don't remember hearing about someone's head exploding...do I even want to know how you discovered this?

[OOC: Night! Pick up after work tomorrow!]

You might be disappointed to learn that it was actually very uneventful. A matter of avoidance and my own ability to put one and two together.

And arrive at "ew."

Luke made a face. Sorry.

Adah smiled warmly, a bit at the edge of a laugh.

Why apologize? While she doesn't know it, I'm actually a little glad for it. She's suffered through nearly twenty years of an entirely loveless marriage; I think puritanical, patriarchal social morels involving sexuality have brought her nothing but unhappiness and ungrateful children, so it's nice to see her break away from them long enough to at least have a little bit of happiness, a few moment where she doesn't feel guilt heavy on her shoulders.

Now I feel like an immature brat for not embracing this part of my father's life, Luke wrote back.

Adah smirked lightly.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say a brat...

Luke wrinkled his nose up at her. Thanks.
