Sexual Health ; Thursday ; Third Period

Mindy's outfit today featured a lot of red plaid, which made sense if you remembered where she had been last week... and the fact that Mindy didn't know her geography very well.

"Okay, guys," she said brightly once everyone had arrived. "Today is the day you have all been waiting for. We will be delivering babies."

Sure enough, the room looked like a delivery room, and there were patients already ready and waiting courtesy of the Danger Shop.

"Now, there is actually less to this than you might think, especially if you've seen those movies about how much goes into the whole 'shooting it out' process. But you do need to be able to understand the readings on the monitor just in case anything weird happens, and you also need to be pretty good at remaining calm in the face of blood, fainting dads, et cetera."

She took a while to explain epidurals and other anesthesia and when they would and wouldn't be appropriate, then explained what the students were able to see on the monitors by the hospital beds.

"Now you get to try," she said brightly. "Go wash your hands and change into some scrubs in the side room, then come back and do your deliveries in pairs or groups of three."

How to Cope with Being Suddenly Famous, Thursday Second Period

Today's class was something it had occurred to Herc he needed to cover for one person in particular, though it would probably go in one ear and out the other much like ninety percent of what he told him. "Now, I know some of you are probably still recovering from recent events, so this isn't going to be a particularly heavy duty class. Let's talk about your coworkers," Herc began. "There are really two things we're talking about here, how you deal with your coworkers, who might be not famous and kind of weirded out by your fame, and how you, as a public person, talk about your coworkers." Chuck. "I can't really help you with the first one, I have to admit, but it's something to consider. As far as the second part, it's really important to consider what you say and how it might be perceived." To be fair, this was something all Hansen men had a problem with. "For example, say you're an actor working on a movie and someone asks you what you think of your costar. You almost never see an interview where--" shit, who was popular these days? "--where Jennifer Lawrence says that Ryan Gosling or whoever is a real pain in the ass to work with, a terrible actor and it's definitely his fault the movie's gonna be bad. There are reasons for that. It doesn't make you look good, it makes you look petty. Sometimes it's a good idea to be a little more circumspect, even if it means not exactly telling what you think of as the truth, because the truth won't help your situation." Chuck. Oh, who was Herc kidding? "Right, so, just something to keep in mind. Now, I don't really have an activity for this week, but if anyone wants to talk about what happened with that whole mess, or thinks petting Max would make them feel better, we're here for you." Especially Max. Max was great at comforting people.

"All those in favor of pretending most of this last semester never happened, say 'aye'," Josh said, coming into the classroom. "So ordered. Okay, so when the President goes out, a great easy photo-op is to stop in at a local food place and take a picture with the owner. You can talk about the importance of small business, health insurance, increasing the minimum wage or whatever, plus you get a tasty meal out of it." He clapped his hands together. "So today's very difficult assignment: if you were visiting Washington DC, Chicago, and Austin, what would you order?"

It was possible Josh was just hungry today.
