Shop CLass; Friday, First Period [01/17].

[special_rabbit]

"Morning, everyone!" Amaya greeted the class with the usual nod, the usual how-is-she-this-chipper-this-early brightness, and the usual gesture toward the coffee table. "If you're in need of some pep for the day, please help yourself, we're going to be starting with learning some equipment today, and less sleepiness usally means less fingerlessness! We'll be working with wood today, and the jigsaw, which is a tool we'll likely use a lot in this class. Now, I know some of you have already used this equipment before, but a refresher never hurt anyone. As a matter of fact, if anything does hurt, then that's a good sign you needed the refresher more than you realized!

"As mentioned last week, you'll definitely be wanting to be wearing your gloves and goggles for this," and, as a matter of point, she moved her goggles down from her head to her face, and she'd already been wearing her gloves, and then moved over to the equipment, gesutring the kids to come along with her to get a good look as she demonstrated. "Now, the jigsaw is a pretty simple, straightforward piece of equipment, easy to use and easy to pick up on, as long as you pay attention to what you're doing, so I don't imagine too many of you will have many problems with it.

"I'll show you," she said, turning on the equipment and easily able to shout instructions and explanation over the whirring blades and slicing wood as she carved a wooden sword (of course!) out of the piece of wood she was working with.

"We've got both hand jigsaws and table mounted ones; the first will give you a little more freedom, but the second is a bit more controled. Feel free to use whichever you're more comfortable with, and if you're a little squeemish about either, let me know, and I'll walk you through it. Since this particular class is about getting to know how to use and familiarize yourself with the jigsaws, feel free to use the class time to cut a few things or make a few things if you're inspired, but, if you need some guidance, I've got a few project ideas you can use and see what you can come up with by the end of class.

"Any questions?" She grinned a little as she looked them over to see if there were any, always excited for this class even though she'd been teaching it for practically ever, but who didn't love a room filled with dangerous spinning blades and clouds of wooddust and the potential for bodily harm? "Alright, then!" She pounded her fist into her palm. "Let's get to work!"

How To Be Civilized, Friday, Period 3

[1000yearstoolate]

"Welcome back," Seivarden said, standing in the front of the class as if they were a group of baby Lieutenants she had been given command over. She gestured towards the bag filled with a selection of gloves (none of them Mae-shaped, sadly).

 

"Unless you have brought your own, find a suitable pair."

 

She continued: "Last week I asked you about your tea preferences. Some of you had good taste, others not so much. Today we're going to make proper tea."

 

On the table in front of her were an arrangement of teapots, cups and bags of different kinds of tea.

 

"Sadly it is impossible to get proper tea flasks here, but these pots will do. Pick a tea you like, brew it according to the instructions and then describe the result and your reflections."

Strategies for Maximum Media Absorption (Binge Watching 101), Friday

[captainskullpoopl]

The teachers weren't in the class, but there was Netflix all queued up with a remote waiting for the class once they arrived. And also a note on the board:

Apple of discord or whatever that shit stuff is. Decide what to watch as a group.

Clearly nothing could go wrong there, right?
