Sex Ed, Wednesday, Period 2, Class #8

[sparklyvirgin.livejournal.com]

At the front of the classroom, a table was set up with an assortment of baby accessories; clothes, bottles, diapers and carriers.

Edward stood at the front of the classroom holding a baby doll. "I hope you enjoyed your family visits. After this week's project, you may appreciate your parents a little more. For the next seven days, you are all parents to your own babies." He held up the infant simulator and demonstrated how to "take care" of the baby, using the diapers and bottle made for the doll. The baby began to cry and Edward rocked it gently until it quieted.

"The bottle and diapers have sensors that register when the baby is being fed or changed," he said. "You will each have a wristband," he held up his arm to show the one he was wearing, "that will let the baby sense when you are near. All you have to do is keep the baby healthy and happy for one week and you'll get an A on this project. Which, by the way, is forty percent of your grade. These dolls are programmed to act just like a real child, so expect to be feeding and changing your little one at all hours. And don't try to mess around with the programming. If the doll is opened up, it will register as 'abused' and you will get an 'F' on the project."

"I've paired you off into couples for this. As 'husband' and 'wife' you will be equally responsible for the child's wellbeing." He paused. "Actually, we have a greater number of girls than boys in this class, so some of you girls will have to work together. Just assume you're sisters helping each other out while your husbands are off in the Army."

Once all the students had their babies, Edward said, "The rest of the period is free time for you to practice your parenting skills. I have baby carriers and other useful items here to help you with caring for your young one. If you need anything else during the week, you can stop by my office."

Survival Skills [Wednesday, Period Four]

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

When Gavin got into class, he found a note stuck to a videotape telling him he had control of the class today. There were a few notes on what the topic for today's class was and Gavin immediately started grumbling. Did everyone kriffing know?

Whatever, he'd show the video tape and hide in the back of the room.

"Hey guys," he said, nodding at the class. "Professor Bond's not here today so I'm gonna show this movie. It's kind of stupid and horses are mean, mean animals. They're a great means of escape though if you have one. Not as fast as a car or an X-Wing but they can get the job done."

Pause.

"Still, be careful or they're liable to throw you right off the back. Throw. Not fall. Throw."

With more grumbling and some muttering, Gavin stuck the tape in and hid in the back of the room.

Survive Your Own Cooking - 3rd period - (10/29)

There was no teacher in the room today. There was, however, a very large pile of candy, some eggs and a note.

Um... hi. Deadpool's a little-- out to lunch right now. He says to take some candy and use them for your omelettes. I don't wanna know, so I'm not going to ask and neither should you. Go be good children and drink, or whatever it is you kids do to be irresponsible nowadays. --Your Friendly Neighbourhood Weasel.

Yes, candy omelettes. God help anyone's stomach who tried to eat them.

Flight Club [Flight Shed, 2pm]

Gavin was leaning against the flight shed, waiting for the members of flight club to mosey on down. Once they'd all assembled, he stopped being lazy to do the introduction.

"Hey guys," he said. "Today, we're going with jets of this planet. This country specifically but this planet also. The sim's set up for three different types of jet. You can try all three or try one. Some are set for combat so you can try shooting things in the simulated sky. Have fun, learn the controls and see how they compare to the X-Wing from last week."

With that, he stepped aside to let people start taking their turns.

Physics with trees, Period 1, 29 Oct '08

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

"Location, location, location," said Mohinder, once the class had assembled. "Not that I plan to make you listen to three identical lectures, but it's important despite that."

"How many of you come from towns or cities? Villages? Hamlets? Conurbations, perhaps?" he asked the class. "It's generally accepted that these are separated by population, but what makes one town become a city?" He went on to talk about the settlement structures.

"Originally siting a settlement would need shelter, access to building materials and a easily defensible location," said Mohinder, as he handed out papers. "Ideally, it shouldn't flood, but should have access to a water source."

"Now," he said, "I want you to discuss what you think is most important in siting a new town. And when you've decided that, try it out in simulation."

Library [29.10]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

It was a quiet day in the library.

Karal was sitting at the desk, passing books under Altra's nose, and together they were deciding which ones were in need of repair.

They did get into a brief arguement over whether a particularly wounded book was foxed, Altra opining that it had, in fact, been badgered. Karal - with a hidden smile - suggested it had been catted.

Altra sniffed. :I don't think so.:
