CJ looks smitten, and the fact that she's reading the school paper only makes it worse.


301--3rd period

Still on family, gang. Being here, at this school, you've formed bonds. I would like a six degrees diagram of your closest relationships, followed by theirs followed by theirs. This will wind up looking like a mind map, but it's really useful in persuasive communication when you understand who knows who and how to push those big, threatening buttons. Start now, you'll probably want to list people. The whole thing,artfully done, will be due Monday.

401--5th period

I'm so glad none of you feel a need to hold back in this class. That's good. I love that you express yourselves. Now...I have the video of the SotU, and we're going to watch it. Because i am a benevolent despot, we're watching it on mute. Jump in at any point and comment on the nonverbals. Gestures, expressions, body language, both positive and negative.

Maia signed in and started thinking about how her friends were 6 degrees seperated.

Shep comes flying in about 8 minutes late. His computer backpack is in one hand, a small animal carrier in the other.

"Don't worry, she's not contagious, but I had to bring her to the NPC vet this morning and I didn't have time to get her back to the dorm before class. She won't bother us."
