Comparative Religions, Monday, Period 3, Week #8

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"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."

"You're welcome. I'm glad you got things worked out. And, uh, thanks for the applesauce," he said.

"You're very welcome," she said, pleased he appreciated the symbolism. "No problems last week?"

"No," he said quickly. "Everything was fine. Super fine, in fact."

She eyed him. "That sounds very definitive. Almost too much so."

"Not at all. Okay, there may have been a brief 'babbling like a nerd' period, but everything went smoothly after that."

"There's something to be said for babbling like a nerd, in small quantities," she smiled, thinking of other nerds of her acquaintance. Who, incidentally, really should have also been worth a new iPod.
