"My apologies for missing class last week," Anakin said. "I was stuck at a pediatrician's office with a kid with a terrible cough. Trust me, you didn't want me here."

He passed out giant packets of paper. "Sometimes diplomacy is excruciatingly boring," he said. "Today, you are each reading a different moddable document of trade proposals. Carefully couched behind fancy language are ten different proposals that will completely tank your government's economy. Your job is to find all of them and come up with a better way to write the counter-proposal that won't start a war."

Which was so much easier, in Anakin's opinion. Lightsaber battles over paperwork any time.

"Tell me what you've found by the end of class," he concluded.

So long. So dry. So boring. That's what she said.

Find the gotcha portions of the proposal and get rid of them!

I am currently 15 pages into 50 of dry, boring paperwork hell.

Sidon usually enjoyed this class quite a bit, but he had to admit, he was not too terribly fond of this particular activity. He had made leaps and bounds in reading English, it was true, but this material was just...so...why, it was nearly impenetrable! Were most of these even words? How could sentences be so incredibly tedious in their structure and cumbersome in their length? He had to read half of it three times before he understood it, and then the next line was such a challenge that he had forgotten what he'd just read and had to go back from the very beginning.

When he was king, he was certainly going to strive to keep Zora's Domain as a mostly paperless society, that was for sure!

Theron's stack of paper was already covered in highlighter.

It was dull certainly, but the suspicious bits were blatantly obvious when you looked for them.
