Bad Ass Bitch Life Lessons; Wednesday, First Period [01/29].

The projector was there and ready to go when class got started, but it wasn't on yet, because they had other stuff to cover first and it made way more narrative sense to put that all in the OCD today than in the main post. So Rosa was just leaning on the desk a little as she waited for everyone to get settled in, and then she got started.

"So," she said. "Last week, you were all told to go out and learn something new for yourselves, and before we get into our next bright glowing gem of wisdom, you're going to share with the class what you learned. Easy, right? Who's going first? Throatpuncher? Farmer's Almanac? Punctuation?"

Someone should, anyway. Rosa was hoping at least few of these were going to be pretty good.

[[ and ocd is...up! Have at it!]]

Short and sweet.

Wayne

Okuyasu Nijimura

Shuri

Take a moment to show of or discuss what you learned last week! And if what you learned last week was that homework assignments were dumb, that is also legit and Rosa actually can't blame you for that one, either.

Especially considering how she had already labeled everyone who did learn something new for this week a total nerd.

"I learned how to make a bird taser using common household supplies!" Shuri said, holding it up proudly.

Rosa was not about to say she was impressed, but she actually maybe kind of was.

Instead, what she was going to say was, "Do you find you have to tase birds often?"

And she actually even meant the question genuinely, because, yes, she wanted to know more and quite possibly, could she get one?

Pigeons in Brooklyn were assholes, okay?

Wayne had his guitar with him, so no one should be too terribly surprised when he stood up with it when his turn came around to announce, "I learned to play guitar."

And, to prove it, he even strummed a few notes.

And once anyone in the class who wanted to share had the opportunity (and Rosa at least had a few regrets about the assignment, no doubt), she turned her attention to the projector and let out a huff of a breath in preparation for whatever it was going to give them.

"Alright," she said, "here goes this week's lesson."

She turned it on, and across the board was another comic that was just as much news to Rosa as it was to her students:

"You've got to blaze your own trail...
It's the only way you'll get any peace and quiet."

And Rosa may have just snorted, slightly.

"You know what?" she said, after a moment. "That's pretty true. Do your own thing. Screw everyone else. They're just loud and obnoxious and dumb, anyway. And you know what? We're gonna do that. Hope you brought your coats," she herself was already moving to grab hers draped over the desk's chair, "and some comfortable shoes, because we're now going for a hike in the preserve."

Literally!

Hey, at least it's actually not that cold and you're not trudging through snow? Or still sitting in a classroom trying to make life lessons out of a stupid boomer comic.

Either way, they were out there now, and Rosa gestured. "So you read the old lady," she said. "Go blaze your own trail. Don't get lost or eaten by teal deer. If you're not back here by the end of class, I'll send some troopers out to find you, or something."

Honestly, taking a hike through the woods on a nice (albeit not at all winter, which he still felt a little cross about) day like this was much better'n just sticking around a classroom all day! And so Wayne, still with his guitar, was more than happy to have a walk.

Because the whole 'life lesson' was about doing your own thing and not walking the same path as everyone else, so this was almost a little bit of a test to see who would be all 'screw this, I don't have to listen to you and take a hike' and go do something else.

Those students would be the real winners here.

Actually, no, the real winners were probably the ones who didn't bother showing up for this dumb class at all.

Ugh. If you have to. She's there. What do you want?

This is definitely one of those mornings where it is not at all difficult to channel my inner Rosa.

Punctuation is dying off in her room today but for what it's worth, I spent way, way too long giggling at her nickname.

Rosa: *says Punctuation* *Doesn't realize until they're leaving the room that Punctuation isn't even there* *Captain Extra is now Punctuation*
