How to be Awesome | Week 6 | Period 6 | Mon. 8/10

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Back in the computer lab, How to Be Awesome students would find their witty and well-groomed professor waiting in an armchair at the front of the room with a glass of scotch and a cigar. Don't ask how he managed it, just be impressed with his abilities. There was also a screen hanging behind him and plenty of computer stations facing him for all to use.

A minute or two before the appropriate time, Barney started in on his 'lecture.'

"Alright students and potential street cleaners, this week you're going to prepare to show the world how awesome you are. Someday, some of you will need to apply for a job. But come on, who can really show off what they're able to do on paper? No one Awesome. Who cares what school you went to or if you were in the Honor Society? Not anyone important. Which is why you need a video résumé. That's right. People are nothing if not visual and this," he pointed at the screen, "is the best way to introduce Barney Stinson to the world. In fact, I sent a copy of my résumé along with an introductory letter to the school board just the other day to ensure they were using me to the very best of my abilities." Oh yes, Barney had ideas.

"Now, you're going to take a gander at mine and then today I'm giving you cameras and access to film editing software right in this very computer lab to crank out an Awesome résumé highlighting the best parts of you that show why anyone should ever hire your Awesome self. Your projects are due next Monday and are your pass to participating in the final." He clicked a button on the remote and the lights dimmed for the show.

Please, like you can do anything but stare.

Yakko was spinning around in his computer chair. It was hard to stare while doing that.

Prince Edward stared, yes. But he thought he pretty much understood, which rarely happens in this class.

Chuck had a hangover so he was avoiding looking at the screen too much (the light hurt!) but he was impressed with what he saw. He was also very glad he was inheriting a job and would probably never need a resume.

There was nothing wrong with staring when Barney managed to surprise Sam with his insanity every single week.

Jack stared at the video. "You can do that now?"

Oh, modern technology is awesome.

That was certainly different, Alex thought. And a little scary if only for the fact that it looked like Professor Stinson spent a damn long time on that.

Alex shook his head and laughed, bypassing any notes just to watch with amusement.

...yeah, Fiona was staring. Stare, Fiona, stare.

This was...new, if mildly entertaining.

"Ooooh," said Claudia admiringly. She thought the whole thing needed a little more color, though.

Would this actually impress anyone? Not that Leto was aware of the styles of manipulating the masses of this time, but he had serious doubts.

Effy was probably the only one there actually not staring at the crazy man up the front with his video resume.

That was because, as a cat, she didn't much care, and hey, like he was really going to complain much. The very fact she pulled herself out of kitty world enough to actually make it to class (even if she was stretched out on a desk) was a miracle in itself.

"But he never actually does anything," Priestly wondered aloud. Then his eyes widened. "Ohhhhhhhhhhh."

The whole world started to make just a little bit more sense.

Bobby wasn't staring so much as fidgeting, trying not to pick bits of dried pudding out of his hair.

Well, the music was kind of catchy...

Elena could not stop laughing. Dammit, if this song got stuck in her head, she was going to pummel somebody.

There's a camera at your computer and all things digital are ready for you to get creative.

Chuck was just gonna sit right here and pretend to work while nursing his hangover.

Yakko had some ideas for his resume. Oh, yes, he had some ideas.

Those ideas were mostly that it would have to wait until he was done spinning around in his chair.

Hurley's vision was something like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmWzBP-J1mo).

If only he could do it...

TAs [Awesome W6]

They should totally make their own résumé's highlighting all they've done for class.

Re: TAs [Awesome W6]

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Alex was there, thinking he didn't need a résumé to showcase how awesome he was. It was all there, right in front of anyone who looked.

Barney [Awesome W6]

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

He's drinking and smoking in class. Say hi!

Up early since I know a lot of people cannot see YouTube from work. Feel free to handwave the project or use it in your RP this week! Your students can keep the cameras either way.
