How to Be Awesome, Tuesday, Period 3
Standing at the front of the class room after her students had filed in, Kate looked pretty perky and relaxed for someone who'd spent half the night before having an existential crisis in a hotel room and calling her poor sleepy boyfriend who'd really done nothing to deserve such massive verbal flailing at 2 AM. (In fact, Kate was pretty sure she'd spent half the time panicking at Seamus instead.) She looked just fine now. Like, she was still nervous as hell but at least it was contained.
"Hi," she said with a little wave once everyone had come in. "I'm Kate Gregson, and this is How to Be Awesome. If you think you're in the wrong place –– why the hell would you think that? Don't you want to be awesome?"
She really hoped they all wanted to be awesome because otherwise this workshop was going to bomb.
"So, yeah. In this workshop, we're gonna be going over what it means to be awesome. Like, how to feel awesome, how to be awesome in different kinds of scenarios and just generally how to recognize awesomeness in life. Stuff like that. But, this time we're gonna start really easy, with a classic: introductions!" Because she knew her stuff, okay. "I want you to tell me your name, and one thing you think is awesome about you." A beat, an she added, "Also if you're confused about the slang meaning of awesome, because that's kinda what we're working with here, tell me and I'll try to go more... in-depth with it."
Possibly by using Urban Dictionary.
"So, lemme go first. Like I said, I'm Kate Gregson. You can just call me Kate because if you try any of that 'professor' stuff I'll probably die of shock. And one thing that's awesome about me is that I went through a lot of crap over my student years here at this school, and still came out on top and could return here to share some of my insights with all of you."
She nodded, then pointed at a student at random. "You, go first."
