Everyday Skills, Friday 2nd Period

Ever the picture of professionalism, Oz sat with his feet up on the desk reading the latest SkyMall magazine as he waited for his class to finish arriving, there was probably something in there he could use in a future class.

"There you all are," he said when he finally put the magazine down. "Morning all, for those of you I haven't seen before, I'm Oz, and I assure you that any story you may have heard about me are complete exaggerations. Well, maybe not all of them. Anyway, this class is Everyday Skills, and like the description on the sign up forms said I consider this class to be a life skills primer, covering some of the basics that everyone should know, you know, the kind of things that you'll need even after you've graduated, so we'll be covering a range of topics, like cooking, forgery, job interviews, bomb diffusion, sewing and mending, safe-cracking, to name a few."

Oz had a slightly different definition of life skills to most people.

"Now, I'm sure you're all sick of introductions by this point, but one of the most important skills you can have is to make a good first impression, so we're still going to do them, I want your names, classes, and one example of what you think an everyday skill is, whether you have it or not."

"Also I need a TA so if you think you're up for it come and see me after class."

[Have at it.]

The nice thing about only having two classes was that Juliet actually wasn't sick of introductions yet. She smiled as she spoke.

"Hi, I'm Juliet, I'm a junior, and I think knowing what colors and styles make you look your best is an important everyday skill."

"Professor Oz?"

Oz had mentioned TAs.

Of course Peter was here.

Yeaaaah, Peter knew how this went by now. He hadn't really signed up for this class for the subject matter.

Still, he was humming to himself as he fiddled with his pen (stupid 21st century technology).

Rebecca stood up and gave a little wave. "Hi, I'm Rebecca Logan," she said. "I'm a junior, and one important skill is..." Well, people management, but she didn't actually intend to be quite so upfront about that in front of a room of people she might want to manage. "Making connections."

There. That sounded nice and neutral.

Rebecca leaned over. Yes, hello, Rebecca's boobs.

"Did he say bombs?"

"I'm Peter Wiggin, I'm a sophomore, and I believe convincing people is a valuable everyday skill," he said idly.

Not too complicated, but whatever - just because he admired Oz's teaching methods didn't mean he was going to spill his life's secrets in here.

Hello, Rebecca's boobs.

Which Peter didn't pay attention to for all that much time, honest. "He did," Peter said, "And he's not bluffing." Beat. "Or maybe he's been bluffing all this time..."

Peter Wiggin: doing his part to make Oz's reign of terror... a little easier.

"You've taken classes with him before?" she guessed. "What's the scoop here?"

"Let's just say Professor Oz has... his own style of teaching technique," Peter said lightly. "I'm not sure whether I should spoil the surprise, really."

Rebecca eyed him, then leaned back in her chair. "Fine. I'll take your word for it," she decided. "Only 'cause you made it sound cool."

"I try my best," Peter said, grinning. "So how are you fitting in?"

"Pretty well," Rebecca said, tilting her chair back and not tipping over or anything because she was Just That Cool. "Six-day weekend's not bad. I could live without the roommate, but other than that? Definite step up from my old school."

"Ugh, don't talk to me about roommates," Peter said. "Mine was gone for an entire semester. It's hard getting used to the guy being back."
