Hanna waited for the students to file in and get seated, then nodded to them and began.

"I hope you all enjoyed the film last week. So, now we return to cooking. ( Salt )

The Modern Workplace and You [Friday, period 1]

"So like next week I guess the whole school's going to Bali," Cheryl said casually, sitting on the edge of a desk. "Which is like...pretty far away, I guess. I mean, it's definitely a long enough flight that I passed out at least once and then woke up and might've passed out again last time we went. Long-ass flight. So, you know, guys, enjoy that part."

Library, Friday

[selfhelphero]

Billy was in an awesome mood today, and was trying very hard not to fall into the spring break mindset too early. It probably didn't help that he was looking through books about Bali as he spun in his chair at the front desk, but he wanted to be as prepared as possible for the trip. He'd already sent Teddy waaaay too many text messages in his excitement, but that was what boyfriends were for, right?

Coping With Change, Friday, Period 3

[furnaceface]

Literally the only clothing that Jonothon had been able to find today in his apartment was his old Generation X uniform. The one he couldn't take seriously, because it was crimson and mustard-coloured, with a big bloody X on his belt. At least the boots had been tolerable, he supposed. And Emma had let him incorporate his jacket into his own costume. But. Really.

He couldn't quite figure out, himself, if this was somehow better or worse than the Hawaiian shirt bandages he'd been wearing last week.

//Since most if not all of you are probably too excited about break to pay attention to a proper lecture,// he began, standing behind his desk in the hopes of at least obscuring his belt some (it didn't work), //we're going to keep today's class simple. Escapism. It's perfectly natural, it's perfectly healthy, just so long as it doesn't ultimately get in the way of your dealing with life. If you're running on pure emotion and can't use logic to save your life, if you need to calm down some before you can properly apply yourself to fixing a problem and nothing is in immediate danger of irreparable damage if you do, then yes, pick up a book, or go to the cinema, or play a video game or listen to music or dance or do what you need to do in order to get yourself back in a functional headspace. So long as you're doing it in order to get yourself back to a place where you can deal, as opposed to using it in order to escape from ever having to deal, it's fine. It's good. By all means, take some time to yourself and recharge your mental and emotional batteries some.//

This was possibly his shortest lecture yet.

//All of that said, movie day. I even brought popcorn - the microwave kind, don't think I'm ever more fancy than I need to be - and a few bottles of soft drink if anybody likes. For some reason or other, the only DVD I could find in my apartment was Alice in Wonderland, and I had an old friend who would be personally disappointed in me for showing it to you all, but it is an excellent example of escapism unto itself, so...// He shrugged. //Sorry, Alice.//

Chemistry, Some Period, Friday

[usedtowhizz.livejournal.com]

Guess what, class! If you actually came to class today, you'd find a note and a few bottles of sunscreen.

Independent research project time. I'm doing my own special study before Spring Break. A secret study. Don't ask questions about it.

You take some sunscreen and spend break finding out if it works. Do this instead of finding me. Okay? Okay!
