Chemistry 102, Friday, Period 2

"Let's talk about real life and something I just decided to call social chemistry," James said from his desk. "You have a certain social situation set up. Maybe you have a group of friends who are in business together. Completely legitimate business. And maybe you think that the group leadership is run by an ass who's being challenged by another ass, even though they're both your dearest friends in the world. So you just start picking at them, undermining both whenever you get a chance, maybe try to hook up with one of their girlfriends when he's in jail for completely legitimate reasons. Maybe you want to just stir things up and see what happens."

"What's the worst that happens? A bad business run by a couple of dopes falls apart slightly earlier than it should have and maybe you don't get lucky. That happens all the time, not a big deal," James scoffed. "Or maybe you weasel yourself into a position of power and get some. You telling me that's not worth it?"

"It's just like whatshisface from the show we've watched. He's broke and dying and the one guy he confides in is a dumbass. Why not mix things up and start making drugs. Um. Hypothetically. Worst case, he gets caught. Oooh, boy, he's got bad cancer, he's not going to last long in jail. Best case? Super rich. Maybe he can even upgrade his family to a newer model that eases up on breakfast a little."

"It's not that simple in the show or IRL but the only way to find out exactly how hard things are is to try. And that's why I'm going to test this out," James said, starting up Netflix on the TV. He scrolled over to the Just for Kids section and found the worst-looking crap he could find and started it, then tossed the remote lightly onto the floor in front of his desk.

"If nobody changes the movie, we're watching this crap for the rest of the period. The first person to actually change it or convince somebody else what to watch not only gets to watch whatever they choose for the rest of the period, but they get a gift certificate for a free small pizza at that place in town. The rest of you have to suck it up, deal with their show, and no free pizza."

Unless the winner decided to share. But it was a SMALL, so there.

Coping With Change, Friday, Period 3

//Right, so, the blame game.// Jono walked into the room today looking tired but triumphant. //I was up all bloody night re-planning this class, because something, somewhere, replaced all of my notes with photographs of bags of garbage sitting at the bottom of a cliff. No, I don't know why. I'm going to say it was the island. That seems to be the case, these days, more often than not.//

Garbage. He couldn't even begin to fathom what in the world was up with that.

Responsible teachers might have put today’s class in the Danger Shop, so that no one could get hurt. Pam and Cheryl were not those people.
