Science You Cannot Possibly Comprehend, Monday, Period 5

[allhopeliesinme.livejournal.com]

"I hope last week taught you all that I spoke the truth from the beginning of this class," Doom said as the class began. He was standing in front of a large metal ring at the front of the lab. "The concepts in this class shall be difficult. The actual creation of devices will require explanation and to build any of the inventions we discuss from scratch will not be possible in the remainder of class. I have no interest in giving you busy work, so you will not receive assignments or assistance to continue any of these inventions outside of class."

"Should you choose to further experiment outside of class, that is your decision. It is your initiative to take. If you can complete a device on your own time, it is possible that you may impress Doom, but it will not affect your grade," Doom explained. "And now that I have been forced to explain this in simple terms due to the difficulties certain students had in grasping the concept, you have lost precious minutes to complete your build during the second half of class. You may thank Victor Mancha for this disruption."

"Also, no more food orders during class, Cecil Baldwin. Anyone who orders food in this class will be assigned detention. No further warnings will be issued."

Teamwork, Monday, Period 2

The teamwork classroom was mostly bare today, with bins of Legos scattered throughout the space. Jack faced the class with her arms folded. Being a guy for the weekend had left her pissed off as all hell; she'd try not to take it out on the students, but it was an open question whether she'd succeed.

"Sometimes, your team has some crappy job to do that everybody needs to help with," she began. "Doesn't matter if it's not really your job, or if you feel like the whole thing is dumb. If you want the job to be done this year, everybody has to chip in without wasting time whining."

She hit a button on her datapad and projected an image onto the wall. "Today, your crappy little job is building a scale model of a spaceship out of Legos. There are six of you and you have an hour and the blueprints. Figure out who should do what, go to work, and if you're efficient you should get pretty far by the end of class."

Anger Management and Emotional Control | Monday | Period 1

"Okay, last week I was a little mean," Bruce admitted, standing in the hallway outside the Danger Shop, where he'd handwavily emailed the students to ask them to meet him. "With the rain and everything. So I thought this week I could maybe make up for that."

He opened the door to the Danger Shop, revealing a setup that was definitely better than exercise in a mild rainstorm: an outdoor Japanese onsen, complete with rocks to sit on, a shady area as well as a sunny one, and water at around 95 degrees.

"Relaxation is another good strategy for anger management," Bruce shared, though he doubted anyone was listening to him at this point. "And soaking in water, especially when it's warm, can relax muscles and put you in a better mood. So, you have an hour to try that."

Nice work if you could get it, right?
