How to Be Awesome, Tuesday, Period 3
Kate waved at the students once everyone had made their way into the classroom and taken their seats. She herself was of course sitting on her desk. Because sitting behind it was just... not for her. "Hi! Before we get started on today's actual topic, just some quick administrative stuff." Because she was a grown-up and was organized like that. Or something. At least she was faliling internally less this week. "First off, Ichabod is my new TA for this workshop. Secondly, my office is number twenty six, and I'm trying to get into the habit of being there on Wednesdays, if you have stuff you want to ask or talk about outside of class. Or if you just wanna bring me decent coffee."
Hint, hint.
"So, anyway. Um, last week, we did the ever popular intros thing and kinda scratched the surface of what makes you awesome. Starting next week, we're gonna start covering more specific situations and like, areas of life and whatever and how you can be awesome in those, but for today... We're still gonna stay on a more general level. Like, being awesome is all about the stuff that makes you feel good about yourself. Like, if you think back to last week, I asked you what you think is awesome about you, and most of you named a skill you have. Soooo, that's one thing. Or it can be how you look, or how you treat other people, or it can be just... a totally random thing you just did. Like, 'hey, I really worked my eyeliner perfectly this morning, rock on, I'm awesome!'"
That was an real life example. If anyone else wanted to compliment her on her eyeliner skills today, she was more than willing to listen.
"So, today, that kind of thing is our topic. I want us to talk about the stuff that makes you feel good about yourself. And because that's way vague and I know vagueness is hard sometimes, I'mma narrow it down for you: let's come up with things you can do today to feel awesome about, here on this island of Fandom on May... whatever the hell today's date is." Like she looked at calendars. "2014, anyway. Or, if you don't want to talk about yourself, just think about something a hypothetical person could do today to feel awesome. That's the starting point for this session, but we can totally meander. And totally don't be afraid to comment on each other's stuff. As long as you're polite."
