Relax and Recharge 2: Extreme Relaxation, Tuesday Period Two

[doubleohblonde]

"Good morning," Bond said as his students assembled in the Danger Shop. They stood on a long stretch of deserted highway that looped through a number of low hills. A sleek looking car was parked beside him. "I decided we should probably stay away from the water this week, and we've covered the sea and the air, it's only far we visit the land this week."

He ran a hand over the roof of the car. "This is an Aston Marin DBR9. The design is based on on of their high end models that's been modified for racing. Which means it's very expensive, very fast, and the sort of vehicle you're probably not supposed to let teenagers joyride in.

"I'll go first so you can get an appreciation of how it handles, then you can take turns trying the course."

World Mythology, Wednesday, Period Three

"Today we're visiting with the myths to be found in the Native American cultures." Ghanima grabbed her handouts from the front desk and began walking up and down the rows, dropping papers on desks.  "For me to try and cover the history and mythology of every tribe in a single day would be impossible, not to mention insulting to the cultures involved.  A thoughtful, anthropologically sound approach to these stories would take up an entire semester, not a class period."

( Let the class begin! )

Conspiracy Theories - Period 2, Wednesday

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

"Since last week's student 'lecture'--" Washington sighed and gave Lottie such a look for it. "--had aliens in it, today we're going to cover the conspiracy around Area 51."

Mostly so the teacher could laugh at how quaint and adorable people in the past were about aliens.

"The location of this military facility is northwest of Las Vegas at the sight of Lake Groom. Which is the actual name of it, chosen because the lake dried up, leaving a level surface that was perfect as a landing field for the experimental aircrafts that were being used there." Wash took that time to pass out notes about the facility if anyone was interested in them. Or if they wanted to make a paper airplane while he gave them disappointed looks. "The theory is that the experimental aircrafts are actually UFO's that crashed in the area. Or retroengineered crafts based off crashed UFO's. Or maybe just weird alien experiments going on there. Several people have claimed to have worked there and say aliens were there. Which sounds ridiculous unless these aliens were unsanctioned by their own governments and the crash left them completely without the ability to call for help. Because a race capable of intergalactic flight is probably going to be more advanced than a few guys with guns who are still awed by the microwave."

Tell us how you really feel, Wash.

He cleared his throat. "After the discussion of that, Anders will be giving his presentation. There are still open spots for anyone interested."

World History

Class today was in a regular classroom with a screen and a projector set up. Popcorn was also available chasing away any doubt that today would be a movie class.

"I would like this class to be a continuation of the previous one," Jones said as she set up the film. "However to cover the previous course in one session would be rather dull for most students. I was told by the person at the video rental store that this movie would suffice in a proper refresher."

Later on, Jones would never trust the clerk of a video store ever again.
