The Art of Laziness; Tuesday, Second Period [08/08].

[sake_shinigami]

Today was the eighth day of the eighth month and, as the Captain of the Eighth Division of the Gotei 13, Shunsui had some big plans for tonight, but, at the moment, he did have class. Of course, this big plans did have his attention rather elsewhere, but that was fine, as it was, nicely, a class whose entire purpose facilitated him being lazy when it came to his lesson plans. That was rather the whole point. So it would all work out quite well, wouldn't it?

So he still had his circle under the tree by the duck pond, with a pot of tea ready to go for the students, and he took a little extra time just enjoying the morning before giving a contented smile and getting things going.

"Today," he said, "we have two lessons wrapped conveniently into one, which is, of course, another excellent example of laziness working for you. By combining things, you can get twice as much done without any additional effort ♥. I'd like to talk about a few quotes about laziness today, and what you might make of them...not only will you potentially hear some words of wisdom to aid you in your understanding of laziness, but not going to the trouble of coming up with your own words for something and instead leaning on the words of those who came before you and were probably much wiser and poetic about it saves you a good deal of work, neh ♥? So before you are a few printout of a few quotes to read over and share your thoughts on; simple as that ♥! Let's begin."

Sam Eagle Presents WeirDONT'S: How Not To Be A Weirdo Part 2, Tuesday, 8/8

[but_mostly_america]

At precisely the appointed time for class to begin, Sam cleared his throat and began to speak. "I must apologize, students, for my absence last week!"

"I was unavoidably detained by an appointment with a dentist!"

Never mind that Sam was a Muppet eagle who had no teeth. Or that the dentist was Dr. Teeth and that the appointment had something to do with a documentary about The Electric Mayhem and nothing to do with dentistry.

"This dentist was very weird. He has always been weird. Perhaps if he had stayed on the path to dentistry and not been distracted by rock and roll music. Or perhaps if he had made normal music instead of working with his band of weirdos."

Sam nodded importantly. "Music like from this wonderful musician I have an educational documentary about! Once we have watched it we can discuss music that is not weird!"

With that, Sam pressed play on the 'educational documentary.' Surprising nobody but Sam it was not what he'd intended to show to his students.

Introduction to Dinosaurs - Tuesday, 1st Period

[itsananomaly]

The teachers were back in the classroom this week, “Welcome back,” Cutter said with a tired smile, “this week we’re going to be covering the Mosasaur,” he began, “the Mosasaur were a group of aquatic lizards that were found worldwide during the Cretaceous Period and during the late Cretaceous Period in particular, some Mosasaur’s could grow to incredible lengths and were estimated to have been 17 metres long but most were the size of Porposie’s,”

Connor smiled as he set his notes down and continued the lecture when Cutter was finished with the introduction. “ Many mosasaurs of the Late Cretaceous were large. The longest mosasaurs, based an fossil remnants that have been found, are estimated to have been 17 metres (about 56 feet) in length. However, the majority of mosasaurs were more common forms of subspecies no larger than modern porpoises. It is believed this creature ate fish, shellfish, squid and smaller marine animals. It had a very long, thin, almost snake like body with powerful flippers, a large elongated tail and a huge head with a long snout lined with teeth. It was a dominating predator of the open sea 145 to 65 million years ago.” Connor looked over at Cutter with a nod as he finished up.

“For the rest of the lesson you can work on your worksheets and reports,” Cutter finished up, nodding back at Connor as he resumed the lesson, “next week will be our final class and I’d like you both to prepare a report on your favourite dinosaur or creature that you learned from this session,” he said, “and as always myself and Mr. Temple will be around to answer any questions you may have,”

Buckle Those Swashes, Tuesday 3rd Period

[jedigrammarians]

"We still have not apprehended our hat thief." Isabela felt it was vitally, vitally important to start with this. "Which leads to our subject today, drowning your sorrows."

"Booze is surprising vital to piracy, even in space where you'd think synthesising potable water would be one of the first things taken care of."

"Unfortunately, outside of this island most other parts of this world are ridiculously uptight about 'appropriate drinking ages'."

Did this mean that they were going to be something vaguely resembling responsible here.

"So today we're going to teach you about making fake IDs!"

No. No it did not.
