Cinema Studies, Thursday, Period One

[wrongkindofsith]

The classroom had beach blankets set up for the movie this week. Because of course it did. What was Fandom without the whimsy?

"So, despite the weather here, we decided to go with a summer movie this time," Jane said.

"To get you in the mood for break," Cara added. "Since it will apparently be warmer there."

"Its not about Greece, sadly." That would have been helpful. "Instead we have... beach blanket bingo?"

'We're relatively sure it's suitable to watch." For certain definitions of suitable.

Combat 101, Friday Second Period

"Today," Thor proclaimed, "you will familiarize yourselves with swords. Now, I do not expect you to become masters of the blade within the confines of one semester, even if the entire semester was dedicated to the art, which it will not be." Swords were boring. Hammers were where it was at. "But the sword is a highly individualized weapon. What works for one person will not for another. So today you will experiment." Thor gestured to a rack of various handwavey swords. "Here we have an assortment of blades. Long, short, one-handers, two-handers. Some are meant for stabbing, others for slashing. Try them. Take your frustrations out on the practice dummies. We will discuss proper grip and form once you know which blade you will be using."

Cupcakes of the World(s), Friday 2/20, 3rd period

“Next week, in a few days really,” Stark said, “we’ll be on the trip. Going to Greece. That’s here, on the map.” He pointed. “And the water next to it, of course. Because boats.”

“So this week, today, I thought we would try some Greek cupcakes. To get an idea of what foods there might be available. Though this particular cake is usually for New Years. It’s called Vasilopita, and I found a recipe that makes what would normally be a cake into cupcakes. The cake usually has a coin in it. No money in the cupcakes.”

That would be weird.

“So! Are you all going on the trip? Have any of you been to Greece before? Or on boats like these? I haven’t been on this type of boat that I remember. I wonder what the food will be like…but, we’re here for cupcakes. So I have ones you can all try, of course. And you can all try to make some as well. Let me know if you need help. Want help.”

Overcoming Obstacles, February 20

"So, traveling with dogs is a whole thing," Steve said, "but it's necessary when your dogsitter tells you no."

"And, for their safety, its best they take medicine to sleep through the process," Tony added. "Stress and all."

All three dogs sat, waiting. Impatiently. There was peanut butter and cheese in their futures, they just knew it.

Steve grinned down at them. "Now they pay attention."

"The pills we're giving you aren't real, but they don't know that," Tony said. "So, we need you to successfully trick them to swallow one. Good luck."
