Keeping Your Wits About You... [Monday 2nd Period 10-11] Class # 12

Wilson was waiting for his students this morning with a good natured smile on his face and a gingerbread latte in his hand. There was a spread of holiday yummies ranging from spice cakes to cookies and other things determined to add pounds to your waistline.

As everybody got settled, he set his coffee aside and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Good morning everybody, I hope we all had a lovely weekend?"



"Okay, today we're going to tackle something that is both timely and which might actually be of practical use to you all in the coming month. It's called, Surviving the Holidays."

As he spoke the last three words, he wrote them across the whiteboard and then walked down to the projector he kept at the front of the class. There were some key points on the slide which Wilson carefully went over in his lecture.

Finals.
Going home for the holidays.
Remember That Excessive Christmas-ness Gets on Everyone's Nerves.
Don't Do Things That Make You Miserable.
Communicate Holiday Plans and Expectations Well in Advance.
Don't Expect Perfection.
Take time for yourself.
Expand the Circle of Joy.
Being ready to return to school.


"Okay guys, for the remainder of the class I'd like you to get into groups of two or more and work up a plan for your plans on how to get through the next 6 weeks of utter insanity that is the end of the semester and holidays in general," it was possible that he had his tongue a bit in his cheek with this one. "I'll be up here making a list of my own."

Since she expected to be spending the holiday break right there at the school, Beauty figured her part of the assignment wouldn't take long to complete. Nonetheless, she looked around to see if there was anyone who was in need of a partner.

Isabel couldn't understand how Christmas cheer could get on anyone's nerves.

Chris wondered if there were lessons on how to survive finding out that your alternate universe mother slept with her sister's boyfriend. Or her over-sharing roommate arguing about sex with half the guys at the dinner table.

And if there was, he wondered why they couldn't have had this lesson last week.

Lana, had she known it, was thinking very similar thoughts.

Chris looked over and gave her a grin at some point during the lecture.

Lana was a little slow thinking about partnering up, since part of her mind was thinking about how useful this might have been to do before she'd gone to Neptune and another part was thinking NC-17 thoughts about a certain other person in the room and yet another was wondering if he was thinking similar thoughts about her.

She grinned back and rolled her eyes.

"Could have used this last week," Chris whispered.

"No kidding!" Lana said with a smile.

"Is it sad that I'll probably go back at Christmas if I'm invited?"

Lana laughed. "Maybe a little, but they're your family."

"Not all of them," Chris said quickly. "Thank goodness."

"I'd give just about anything to have a family, crazy or otherwise," Lana said. "Even extended family."

"You can share mine," Chris offered.
