Brooding for Dummies, Friday, Period 2
Today, class was once again in the classroom. Not a terrible surprise, that. Jono was looking a little off this morning, though. He'd woken up with a headache, and was half-slouched against the desk again, occasionally putting a hand to the side of the head as if that would somehow do something to relieve the pressure of... hell, he didn't know what. An oncoming storm, probably.
//Sometimes even brooding takes energy you don't necessarily have,// he said, his voice holding a kind of airy, faraway quality to it this morning. //In situations like those, it's fine to just settle in for a good helping of apathy, instead.// He tilted his head, some vague sense of amusement in his expression. //When I was a student, there was an entire bloody club for it. Motto was 'whatever.' It was great in that low-commitment not actually doing anything but still getting extra credit for it sort of way.//
... He wasn't sure where he was going with this.
//Right. Calling an impromptu Apathy Club meeting today. Just sit around doing nothing, or doodling or playing games on yer phone, or sitting in companionable silence, or... whatever. Whatever.//
[Whatever!]
