Try Not to Die [Thursday, June 5, 2014]

"Today I am sending you to the forest moon of Endor," Anakin told the class. "It's the furthest moon from the planet also called Endor, but Endor the planet is a gas giant and launching you into it would negate the whole purpose of a class called 'Try Not to Die' because you wouldn't be able to survive."

He's all heart, class.

"This moon is mostly forest, obviously, but the trees are more like the redwood trees of your planet and not quite as huge as the ones we saw on the Wookiee homeworld. The sentient species here--the Ewoks--build their homes in them and connect between the trees with large bridges, but you can walk on the moon's surface and not be immediately eaten by a predator, which is not true on Kashyyyk. The gravity is a little lighter than standard, so you'll be able to jump higher than you usually can. The air is breathable unless you have seasonal allergies that are grass or tree related because they didn't call this the forest moon to be ironic. As usual, you have two tasks to complete. Please don't irritate the Ewoks, or let their small size and general cuteness fool you. They don't have any problems roasting humans over a spit and eating them--they tried with my," sigh, "son-in-law." He clapped his hands together. "Off you go."

Choose Your Own Adventure, Thursday afternoon

Again, an email was sent. And a note left on the classroom door, if you missed that. In which case, you had to go back to the First Floor Lobby, and the TV Room.

"Today is Rainy Day Make Your Own Fun Class." Kenzi was watching telenovelas, while considering Mario Kart. "Do you know how to do this? Some of you may be a little uptight." And you probably knew who you were. "So settle in, pick out a game, eat some of the popcorn," provided in a handy huge bowl, "and decide if there are any consequences to walking out of this class."

Basic Cookery, Period One

Today, everyone had a box of Kraft Dinner macaroni and cheese in front of them, as well as a hot plate and everything else necessary to cook some fake-cheesy goodness.

"My research," by which he means Wikipedia, "tells me that this 'macaroni and cheese' is an important part of the diet of students who have moved away from home for the first time. So, it is only fitting that we try it here."

He walked the students through cooking and preparing the pasta, and when they were done, indicated the front of the classroom. Much like the day they'd made grilled cheeses, the table was stocked with several different ingredients, as well as some instructions. "If you feel like a challenge, there are some more complex recipes available for you to try," he offered. "As well, it occurred to me that perhaps some of you might like to take what you created today back to the dorms to share with your fellow students, so feel free to do so," and indeed, it looked as if he'd basically bought out the rubbermaid aisle of the store in town.
