Badass Bitch Survival Guide; Tuesday, First Period [11/10].
Due to a variety of reasons, distractions, and more topical lessons taking over, Rosa didn't think she actually got a chance to teach this lesson last year, but, with the holidays around the corner and no doubt plenty of possibily annoying things happening that would force her hand at what lessons to teach, it seemed like a good day to dig up this old gem.
There was a note on the classroom door directing the students down to the gym, with the usual threat of the last one being a punching bag, but, truth be told, Rosa's plans involved everyone being equally punched. In a matter of speaking. She wasn't literally going to punch kids.
...well, maybe if they really deserved it.
Should they be worried about the mats being pulled out and covering the floor again? Probably not. All those baseball bats, though? Time would tell.
"Alright," she started, looking them all over once it was time to get started, standing in front of a table with a whole mess of junk on it, "so you guys are pretty young, right? I mean, I'm sure there's a fewweird immortal or ageless beings among you, but for the most part, you're all young, you'll all at one point in your life get out there and party, and you'll probably get completely smashed and regret it in the morning. On the plus side, the younger you are...or, I guess, in the case of this student body, the more supernatural or whatever you are, too...the easier it is for your body to recover. Older you get, the more you're going to feel it, so it's good to get in some good habits now so it doesn't kick you in the ass later on. There's nothing badass about a henious hangover. You can still have a good time and survive," see? Survival and being badass. Relevant to the class, totally appropriate topic for high school kids, "the next morning."
"Okay, so pregame. Eat high fiber foods, take some vitamin C. While you're drinking, clear liquors like vodka and gin are going to give you an easier morning than whiskey and rum. Sticking to one kind of drink can help you avoid as much of an upset stomach, remember to alternate your drinks with some water every once in a while. Afterwards, you're going to want to drink some more water, or something like Gatorade or Pedialyte for electrolytes or something, or fruit juice, because sugars are supposed to help burn alcohol. Bland carbs like bread or crackers can help soak up alcohol still in your stomach and fight nausea, ibuprofen can help with headaches, but don't make a habit of that, your liver's going to hate you.
"Sounds easy enough, right? Sure, when you're all straight and sober. A little trickier when you're under the influence. And since I think the administration would probably frown on me turning your first class of the day into day drinking, we're going to do some...simulated drunkenness, and see how well you can prep to avoid a hangover. When I say go, grab a bat, find a spot, bend on over and spin until I say stop. If you can't for some reason," hmm, what reasons could those be, "manage the bat thing, just have one of your classmates give you a good spin instead. Then make your way over to the table here, pour yourself a glass of water, drink it, eat some crackers or a slice of bread, take two Skittles that'll be our stand in for ibuprofen, and one more drink of water. First one to pull it off to my standard gets to...I don't know, come see me and I'll let you pitch an idea to me for what we do next week."
She had no idea if that would make a good incentive, but it might make it easier for her to plan class in a way that didn't involve reacting to something going on or just pulling up old classes.
"Alright, any questions? Let's go, get this over with, so we can all get out of here."
