Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day

[bigdamnprincipal]

It was unseasonably warm in Fandom today, which was good news for anyone who didn't want to have to worry about bundling up, and bad news for anyone hoping for a snowy picnic. Traditions were traditions though, so there was still a bonfire going and plenty of supplies for s'mores and hot chocolate among the variety of foods and drinks that had been prepared for the new folks.

Once everything was set up and un-tasteful amounts of glitter had been brushed off of everything, it was time to be welcoming!

"I must admit I haven't seen my schedule yet either," she admitted, "I just got back from holidays, so I didn't see what classes I have," Jo was going to be rather surprised by a couple of them.

"That's what I've actually enjoyed about the classes here," she admitted, "they're not as strict as the ones in my last school and it's been rather fascinating learning from a 21st century approach, some of the classes I still don't quite understand but the teachers have been really patient,"

"Patient is good," said Libby, with a little flutter of worry in her stomach for finding out exactly just how behind in normal schooling she likely was. "What sort of classes have you taken so far? I know you mentioned a literature class...that would be something I'd enjoy, I love reading, I'm just starting to discover how many books there actually are out there, and it's a little overwhelming!"

Especially when you mostly grew up with just the Bible, fantasy stories with approved Christian undertones, and a bunch of silly teen novels about righteous and pious young women who grow up to be good wives and mothers, and a few history books thrown in for good measure about Ancient Rome and the World Wars, those those were mostly for Just and Val. Those were more topics for boys than girls.

"Oh I've found that I really enjoy reading since I started at Fandom," she said with a smile, "I actually work at the library now, I work on Fridays," she told her, "but last semester I took Fear in Literature, Ethics, Fixin Stuff, Intro to Engineering, Modern World & You and Math," she revealed, "math was a bit of a struggle," she admitted.

"I can see how a class on the Modern World could be useful for someone from 1953!" Libby noted, although, honestly, that still felt way too wild to really believe, but it was also a pretty elaborate lie, if that was the case! "I should really go find out about my own schedule. I really hope I don't have math."

Math was fine, of course, but compared to fixing things and literature? She'd much rather take those!

“Some of it was rather confusing but I did learn about cell phones and the internet,” she revealed, “the internet has been fascinating to learn,”

“I think when I did math last semester it was the first time the school had offeeed it for a while I think I remembered hearing about that, so math may not be offered this semester?” she tried to assure her.
