Public Speaking [Tuesday, February 5, 1st period]
Today they were meeting in the Danger Room, which, after some finessing, had been made to look like a dive bar in Georgetown. Not that Josh had ever spent time hitting on college girls while he was in the White House.
He had hit on grad students. It was much less creepy.
"Hope you worked on being persuasive this last week," he said, "because this is the true test--you have thirty seconds, maybe--to make an impression good enough that the other person isn't going to get bored or annoyed."
That's right folks, you're working on your pick-up lines. Who said class wasn't useful?
"Start up conversations with as many people as possible. Person with the most phone numbers at the end of the time gets extra credit," Josh replied. "You have half of class to do it, and then--" he pounded on the bar in a drumroll imitation, "Natalie Adams is our press secretary today. You are also my TA. Try not to bring shame upon me."

Re: Practice Your Persuasive Speeches!
Not that he was particularly into them, but that did seem to be how it went, anyhow. He smirked a little, and then looked around for someone to try to pick up. Hopefully they wouldn't be too disappointed when he put them down again.
