Underwater Basket-Weaving as a Metaphor for Organising Your Life, Tuesday

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

What with the island now being in rather warmer waters, the class had been handwavily informed that they were meeting at the beach.

"All right," Lulu began. "Those of you who feel confident in your swimming abilities, come with me. Those of you who feel you need more instruction before you're comfortable, go with Professor Mizrahi."

After the class had divided itself and assuming that there are people who end up in both groups, Lulu addressed her portion of the students. "Today, I'm going to be testing your swimming abilities," she said, "so get in the water and show me what you know." After a moment, she waved her hands at them. "Go on! Into the water! Out to the marker and back. And, yes, you're being timed."

Juli, meanwhile, had turned to her own section of the class and smiled faintly. “We’ll be covering the basic swimming strokes, so all of you into the water, but carefully and no higher than your waists to start with. How many of you know how to float in the water?” She waited for the answers before going on. “We’ll be finding out how many of you really can, and then covering the basics of the front crawl.” Juli took a breath and went into a bit of detail on how the technique worked.

She smiled again. Less faintly. “Alright, into the water then, and we’ll try putting that to practice.”

Enjoying Those Teenage Years [period 5, Tuesday]

Students had been handwavily asked to meet in the Danger Shop, which was set up to look like a bar.

"Hi, guys. Today we're going to tackle one of my favorite subjects ever -- drinking! Now, I know you guys can't be too bad at this, since hi, there's no drinking age here. But, you know, refresher courses can't hurt."

Library [7.15]

If every Tuesday was going to be an animal day, Anemone would be thrilled. 

Today she had two wee little Eclectus (Eclecti?) parrots flitting around the library, occasionally landing in her hair or on her shoulder to repeat whatever she said. 

Or landing on Gulliver, to mimic his sounds. 

The Fandom Library was open, if a bit louder than normal while Anemone tried to teach the birds the Dead Parrot or its meta skit.

The Right Tools, Tuesday Period Four

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"We're going to be starting with the essentials," were the first words out of Kerrigan's mouth when the class met up in the Danger Shop that afternoon. "Knives are your basic, your number one, your default weapon." She flicked the one she was holding into the air, then caught it. "There are any number of reasons to carry a knife. You can use it to cut rope, cut meat, hell, you can use it to eat off if you're careful enough not to remove your own tongue. This is why you take care to make sure they're sharp, clean, and well-cared for. A good tool isn't just used to maim; the first rule of this class is to consider every potential use of anything we bring up here." ( Cut for TL;DR. )
