Construction 101; First Period, Friday [06/22].
When the kids got to the site that morning, they'd find Amaya already on the scaffolding for the unfinished roof, sitting on the edge and waving for them to join her. "Come on up!" she called down. "I got donuts and coffee! An' don't forget your hard hats."
Not that they'd need them today, she assumed, but just in case.
When they got to the top of the scaffolding, wide enough to comfortably fit all of them, she patted the board and handed over a thermos and a mug to the closest students. "Have a seat, grab a snack,, today's our last day for this semester, so it'll be an easy one. Today, we're covering the time honored tradition of a lunch break on a construction site, which usually entails just sitting around and talkin', because taking a good break on jobs like these is important. When you're tired or hungry or thirsty, you get sloppy, and no one likes that.
"So let's just enjoy the nice day and the hard work you've all done, because you've done a really great job. Now, obviously, there's still a lot more to do, so there's a continuation of the workshop in the second half of the summer, and it'd be real nice to see all your faces again, and I will say this: you guys got all the hard stuff, and I'm really proud of all the fine work you've done. Today's a good time to talk a little about what you've learned, ask any lingering questions you might have, or if there's anything in particular that wasn't covered that you would have liked to have known more about. Or just enjoy the donuts and bask in the glory of all your hard work. This here wouldn't be here without you guys. I don't know about you, but that's always been one of the best feelings for me, to just take a second, step back, look at what you've made and think, 'Well, zounds, I did pretty damn good job!"
She grinned, lifting up her mug in a salute. "So cheers, guys. You done great."

"Ones who don't care either way if I can see the dead," Norman agreed. "It makes a big difference."

"It's kind of growing on me," Norman admitted. "Being more or less normal by comparison, I mean. I think I missed that."
