Underwater Basketweaving as a Metaphor for Organising Your Life -- Tuesday, Period 2

Class had been handwavily informed that they were meeting not in the classroom, but by the pool. "Welcome," Lulu said. "We're not getting into the pool today, but Professor Mizrahi and I thought it best that we meet here on a regular basis, to keep the environment consistent." She smiled. "To those who don't know me, I am Professor Lulu. Today will be fairly simple," she continued, as she gestured for the students to sit on the floor; she folded herself down as Juli did the same.

Juli picked up the lecture, all but resigned to actually having to teach this class now. "As we’ll be meeting at the pool in the following weeks, you are all advised that appropriate swimwear is rather… necessary.” Though, really, if they hadn’t figured that out from the name of the class…. “Continuing the trend of the first week, we’ll be introducing ourselves today. As Professor Lulu mentioned, I am Professor Mizrahi. I’m aware that for some of you this is terribly repetitive, but neither of us recognize some of you, and it’s likely that there are some of you who don't know each other as well. It's very simple: state your name, your class, what experience you have in either swimming or basket weaving, if any, and one interesting thing about yourself."

"We'll be using your experience levels to help gauge the future classes, so please do be accurate," Lulu said. "Exaggeration and inopportune modesty help no one."

Considering that he was being pointed at by two (well, three, really) things, and considering the professors involved in this particular class, Jeff opened his mouth.

And squeaked.

Juli... sighed. This one she knew. "Yes, Mr. Murdock? Was there something?"

"...She's pointing at me," he blurted.

"Yes," Juli said, sounding utterly patient even as she mentally counted to five. "We'd like you to introduce yourself."

"No, I mean she's pointing at me," he whimpered, "Thrice!"

...

Juli glanced at Lulu for a moment, then mentally facepalmed. "Don't look at her then," she advised, with a sigh.

"I can't," he whispered, "I'm looking at her face. I mean, face. I mean, pointing. Gazongas. That."

This was going to get even worse when next week there were bathing suits involved, wasn't it?

"...are you going to need a blindfold for this class, Mr. Murdock?" Which... would probably make the rest of it harder, but certainly still... keeping in the spirit of the class.

Jeff was nodding very emphatically now. "That might be a good idea," he ground out, his voice becoming increasingly desperate. "...A really really good idea and I don't mean, like, good idea in terms of bad, 'cos I've never been bad, er, I mean."

"My name is Sokka
And I can swim faster than a croc-a
You'll never find me sinking like a rock-a
And when I try to weave a basket I get schlock-a!

Word."

Sokka raised a hand. "Miss Lulu, I think what Jeff is trying to say is that he'd like for you to cast a spell."

A really good idea in terms of bad? ...Juli decided she didn't really want to know.

"I'll see what I can do, Mr. Murdock," she said. "Now, have you any swimming or weaving experience?"

Alright, it seemed this class was... special.

This one, at least, amused her. "And how long did it take you to come up with that?"

Re: Introductions!

[identity profile] sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Sokka shrugged. "Not long, not long. It's poetry. I have a gift."

And an ego, she noted.

"Does this mean we're getting poetry every class?" Oh yes, amusement was there.

"Nah," Sokka replied. "But you're getting PLENTY of me!"
