Physical Films | Period 3 | Class 5

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was again not set up as a gymnasium, and was for this week, an olympic sized swimming pool, complete with high dives at one end. The opposite end of the pool had a large film screen set up, ready to show a movie while the group worked out in the water.

The professor was wearing typical long swim trunks and a smile as he greeted the group. "Today we're watching Swimfan while we learn how to swim laps or float, depending on where you are in your swimming." It was appropriate, or something. He then spent a few minutes going through the different types of strokes to make sure everyone had some instruction in how this all worked.

"I know some of you've got water issues, but I...was a lifeguard for a weekend and can't seem to forget how that works, so I'll help you out. Over here there are rafts, vests, and arm floats for you to use if you need 'em. Once you're in the water, find a partner to talk through why you shouldn't go to the pool at night and why making friends with stalkers is a problem."

With that, Ronon ushered them towards the locker room door to the side where they would find the most amazing bathing suits uniforms known to human kind.

Care for Magical Creatures; Monday, Fourth Period [ 09/28 ].

"Good afternoon, students!" Minsc greeted them with the usual cheer, settling with folded legs and a hamster on his knee on the pillows at the centre of the floor. He had decided to abandon that abominable blackboard today, which might have actually been the cause for his increased mood. Or it was simply that he was Minsc, and he was always kind of cheerful like this.

It might also have something to do with the feast set out behind him, all sorts of food, though a bit higgly-piggly in its selection, as he'd gotten many things from the variety of restaurants on the island, as Minsc was no cook. It smelled amazing, though, as long as you were one to like lots of meat and sweets. Minsc wasn't one for vegetables. But the feast would be explained soon.

Applied Science | Monday | 9.28

[tyler_gone]

As the students entered the classroom, Tyler tossed a weird-shaped plush .... thing at each one. He hadn't planned on covering bio this semester, but he found himself with a few stray weeks and everyone was obsessed with H1N1 anyhow.

"Hi. Congratulations. Now you have swine flu, syphilis, mad cow disease, and a couple other diseases," he said, an odd gleeful note to his tone. "Hope you don't mind. Take them home, introduce them to your other roommates, give them cute names. You're getting them today because they fit in with what we're going to talk about, which is bacteria and viruses -- germs."

He went on to lecture about the differences between bacteria and viruses, how they were spread, and the diseases they could cause, then gestured to two glittery markers set on a table in the front of the class.

(Glitter and stuffed animals. Apparently Tyler was going through his own little gender swap today.)

"I want you to pass the marker around and take turns writing something on the posterboard. Touch the marker and the paper as you usually would. Watch where the glitter gets on your body and now it gets there, and think about how germs might be similar. Once you've seen it, you'll never want to touch anything again without rubber gloves and anti-bacterial soap."

"That's actually a bad thing. Antibacterials kill the normal germs, but it means the strong ones live. Natural selection is leading to giant superstrong bacterium that will probably take over the world and cause a plague and kill everyone. Avoid plague. Use regular soap. And if anybody wants to start making out, don't blame the glitter"

He held out the marker to the first student, holding it by the less glittery end. "Go to it."

Hubris from Revelation: the Social Engineering of Ultimate Truths [Monday, Period 2]

"Last week, we covered Eid ul-Fitr," Ghanima began as people began taking their seats today. "However, this isn't only a holy time of year for Islam. Today is Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, which is one of the holiest days of the year for the Hebrew people. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with an approximately 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days."

( And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. )

"Today I'd like us to discuss the concepts of atonement and repentance as a group, and once class is over, I ask that you use the rest of the day for self-reflection. Last week was about joy and goodwill towards your fellow man; today is about being a better person."

Sex Ed [Monday, Period Five]

[doubleohblonde]

When the class came in, they would have noticed several things. Quite apart from a complete lack of the ubiquitous handouts, Bond was leaning against the wall. This wasn't so unusual, however he usually wasn't wearing such tight clothing, nor did he usually pose in quite that manner, or display a fresh ring of teeth-marks on one forearm.

It was probably best for all concerned to ignore the thing currently growing on his upper lip.

If anyone still had any doubts that something not quite right was going on, they would ahve been dispelled the moment he opened his mouth. "I am Paulo," he said in a thick accent that could have come from any number of places."I am here, at great expense, to teach you about love-making."

"So ask me questions. Any question, I tell you answers for them all."

"I am also willing to give practical teaching," he added with a coquettish tilt of his head. "For you my rates are quite reasonable, and I do group bookings as well."

Yes, he did just say that. Someone would be spending the foreseeable future at the bottom of a bottle once the gremlin bite wore off.

Fencing Club - Salle, Monday Afternoon

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

Zayne and Azula's special training swords were left at the end of the regular training swords as Edmund addressed the group.

"This is our fourth meeting. Coming back this often takes dedication and I hope these sessions are useful for you. If there's anything in particular you'd like to learn or practice or have discussed or demonstrated here, please come and talk to me. As I promised last week, this time we'll move into basic attacking drills." He demonstrated. "Beginners and anyone wanting to join in, have a try and once you get the hang of it, try incorporating your footwork. It's best if you partner up and practice against each other to get a feel for where your opponent will be. You'll have to get used to having someone across from you anyway. Those with experience, if you spar today try to focus on disarming your opponent."
