Improving Your Skills [Friday, 3rd Period]

[so_hawkward]

Clint had left a handwavey note to get everyone to come to the computer lab today, and was only halfway spinning around in the chair at the front of the room.

Come on, spinny chairs were fun!

"A lot of people say the first step to getting better at something is to practice, but practicing won't do you any good if you're not starting out right," he said, once everyone was settled. "Now, I was lucky enough to find someone who was willing to teach me archery, and there are probably people on this island who could teach some of you some amazing skills. But, we also have this great thing called the internet, and in between the cat macros and social whatever, there are websites and sometimes even videos about how to do just about anything. What I want you to do today is take a look online and see if you can find someone or something that can teach you how to get better at what it is you want to get better at." That sentence had made more sense in his head, really.

Stephanie was not any kind of computer whiz; you didn't pick up geek skills from osmosis, because god knew she'd have done that by now if it were possible. If she were, she'd have done something elaborate to run searches on the stuff she really wanted to research, like forensics and criminal databases, in the background while her screen displayed something innocuous like pictures of kittens or the history of the Statue of Liberty.

This not being the case, well . . . she'd ended up on a YouTube playlist of cat videos. Oops.
