Ethics [Thursday, December 10, 1st period]
Yes, Anakin had tried to get in some lightsaber practice before class.
Yes, it had turned into a candy cane.
No, he wasn't very happy about that.
So a very cranky Anakin stalked into the classroom and began speaking. "There's a very famous story on this world, of the lady or the tiger. For those of you not from here, the short version is that there was a fictional king with his own sense of justice: instead of a court system, he had an arena with two doors. Behind one door was a beautiful woman, handpicked by the king. Behind the other was a tiger. If you chose the tiger, you were eaten and declared guilty. If you chose the lady, you were considered innocent and married the lady. The king didn't care about your previous marital status or sexual orientation, apparently."
He began pacing. "One day the king discovered that his daughter had been having an affair with someone far below her station, so the man was arrested and tossed into the arena. Now the princess knew which door has what behind it, and her lover looked up to her for advice. She had two choices: watch her love die, or marry another woman. The story ends with the princess telling him which door to open, but leaves us hanging as to what waited behind it."
Anakin smiled. "Your task today is two-fold. First, pair up with a classmate and decide what the princess did. Then tell me what you would have done in the princess's place."

<<Unless you're offering to join me for the nap...>>
Okay, she knew she shouldn't encourage Karla, BUT IT WAS CUTE. There was blushing!
Re: Listen to the lecture [12/10]
*I l-like ice cream!* It was interesting, hearing Karla mentally stuttering. *...And naps. Napping is also good.*
There was plenty of blushing for Emma to be amused by.
