Bad Ass Bitch Life Lessons; Wednesday, First Period [01/22].
It would seem that Rosa had finally succumbed to the will of the classroom and stopped fighting the direction it seemed to want to take the class, because when the students came in, they'd find her already going through slides of the comics and passing her judgement on them.
"Way innappropriate and gross and wouldn't work anyway," she murmured as she passed over one. "And that's Blackstone," she noted, regarding another. A third just got sort of a snort out of her.
Butt on the fourth, she sort of lingered thoughtfully for a moment, checked her watch, saw it was time for class to start, and turned around, figuring the students would already be there.
"Okay," she said. "This one works. So, it looks like we're stuck with a class about whatever nuggets of wisdom this old bat wants to pass down to us, and today, we're going to talk about this one:
"I don't buy 'How-to' books.
I'm waitin' for a 'Why bother?' book."
"And I know what you're thinking," Rosa said. "You're probably thinking, yes, that's right, why bother? Because bad ass bitches don't care, right?
"Wrong. At least when it comes to how to do stuff? Bad ass bitches should care because one of the most bad ass things you can do for yourself in be self-sufficient, and that means learning how to do things yourself. There's nothing bad ass about not knowing how to change your own tires or strip and varnish your own weapons cabinet or make some bomb ass cookies to eat in front of your coworkers who are on diets. And how-to books are great because that means not only can you learn something new and bad ass, but you don't even have to talk to someone else to do it.
"So, yeah, apathy is cool and all, but doing shit is cooler. And I don't think that needs much of a discussion, so I'm just giving you guys some homework and kicking you out of class early. For next week, I want you to think of something you've always wanted to learn how to do, and just learn how to do it. That's it. And you can show off next week.
"Any questions? No? Then get out of here. Go...actually learn something."
Which, yes, was generally what classes were supposed to be for, but, obviously, the state of education at this school (or any, she'd argue) was clearly crap.

Listen to the Lecture - BABLL, 01/22.
Questions/Discussion - BABLL, 01/22.
Or you can still try to initiate a discussion despite the teacher clearly giving you the rest of class off, because you're a freaking nerd.
Re: Questions/Discussion - BABLL, 01/22.
Talk to Rosa - BABLL, 01/22.
The former. Definitely mostly the former.
