Friendship is Cakes!!, Wednesday, period 3

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie was back, this week. You could tell even as you walked down the hall towards the class, she was talking so loud. ". . . And then the Crystal ponies needed to fight off the evil pony and Princess Cadence and Shining Armor and Spike the baby dragon were all in the castle, and Princess Cadence had to go ZWOOOOSH! and fly down! And Shining Armor THREW her like a glider so she'd go fast enough and POW they beat the evil shadow pony and --"

Someone should probably stop her. She could keep going.

"Pinkie. Focus," Derek cut in, looking like he had the worst headache building. "Class."

"Oh, the Crystal ponies are TOTALLY classy," Pinkie started, then blinked. "Ohhhhhhh. You mean class."

Derek sighed like the mature adult he was. Deep down.

"Friendship and cakes, remember?"

Like most of their classes.

"Yes! And your Sane Patrick Day thing!" Pinkie confirmed. "Hihihi, everypony! Sorry I wasn't here last week, but CRAZY STUFF was happening back home in Equestria, and I was a liiiittle delayed in getting back."

"Because of crystal ponies." Yep. "We're making St. Patrick's Day cakes. If you don't know what that is... green. Lots of green. Shamrocks too."

HOW VERY DESCRIPTIVE, DEREK.

"And teeny weenie humans with big beards! Whatsits, leopard-cons!" Pinkie had done her research, yo. ". . . When's crazy Patrick's day?"

"...soon?" Derek was no good at this.

"That day must be all about red," Pinkie decided. "And feathers." It made sense in Pinkie land. "Anywho, we've got lots of cakes and pretty sprinkles and gold dust and clovers!" Those were actual clovers. Pinkie had been snacking on them earlier.

So much dramatic sighing over here.

"Don't eat the clovers, kids."

Mad Kings & Queens: Raving Royals and How To Survive Them (Wednesday, 2nd Period)

As the students came in today, they'dprobably all be pleased to notice the lack of desks, the huge pile of pillows and blankets, and the television at the front of the room.

"Today we're supposed to cover Idi Amin Dada," she said, pointing to the stack of handouts by the door. "Take one when you leave. For now, we're going to watch a movie. It's called the meta for The Last King of Scotland, and it happens to be on the person we're supposed to be studying today."


['m exhausted from the time-change, you get a movie-class.]

Modern Day Myths, Wednesday

[toteshammered.livejournal.com]

"Today is a bit of a departure from our usual fare," Thor said once everyone was present. "Though I suppose depending on your perspective, the myths involved might still be considered 'modern'... I speak, of course, of the Day of Saint Patrick, which is coming up next week. Although it is a holiday commemorating an important historical figure in the nation of Ireland, it is widely celebrated here in America. The celebrations mostly seem to involve a great deal of drinking and revelry." So, the kind of celebration he could get behind.

"Although I am not too familiar with the religious traditions involved in celebrating his day, there are many symbols that have become part of the modern celebration. For example, you are likely to see a lot of green, and some people ascribe to a particular ritual that permits you to pinch another if you see they are not wearing any. I do not recommend doing this to strangers, of course," he said, turning momentarily stern. "But if your friends are comfortable with such casual contact, and it is not done with an intent to truly injure, the reactions can be amusing. If you go to Caritas this Tuesday, there is also the chance that your beverages may be green. Fear not, it is simply the result of added colouring and should not affect the taste of your ale. Also common are images of small creatures dressed in green who are apparently quite sneaky. These are called leprechauns, and should not be confused with the gremlins that infest the school dormitories. Still, should you happen to encounter one, although it may not bite, I would advise against trusting it. Lastly, in keeping with the theme of green items, the four-leafed clover is a common sight in Saint Patrick's Day decorations. It is believed by some to be lucky, as the majority of clover plants have simply three leaves. That being said, I hope you all have an enjoyable holiday, if you choose to partake in any festivities."

Independent Study, Thursday - Period 3

It seemed to be a normal day at the office for Jones as the students settled in for another exciting class!

"Today I would like to review your bibliographies and your source material," Jones said as the students sat down. "We shall start with-"

Suddenly a monitor on Jones' wall came to life and Dr. Randy Disaster appeared.

"Spacemonauts! We have need of your skills and prowess! Report to the danger shop immediately!"

Jones barely raised an eyebrow. "Well I suppose your bibliographies can wait until next week. Please go to the danger shop and prepare yourself."

FOR A THRILLING ADVENTURE!
