US History (Wednesday, April 19, 7th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Your exam might be next week, but we still have most of the 20th Century to cover," Josh said, "so strap yourselves in and prepare to take notes."

He pointed at the board where he had scrawled World War II, then back at the class. "Because the first one just wasn't enough."

Josh then proceeded to whip the class through Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Eisenhower, Pearl Harbor, Midway, D-Day, FDR, Truman, dropping a couple of nuclear bombs on Japan and the lasting legacy of the Holocaust in an hour.

He looked pretty impressed with himself.

"One question for you all, then feel free to discuss what you think the lasting importance of World War II was--if Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, why did the United States first enter World War II in the European Theater, rather than the Pacific?"

Veronica is taking notes on the lecture, really.

But there are some other important things she needs to take care of. Like the note she just passed Cally.

We're going prom dress shopping after class. Wanna come with?

Cally blinks at the note. She quickly scribbles one of her own and passes it over.

Prom? Dress? Huh?

Veronica's eyes go wide when she reads Cally's note.

Big dance on Saturday. Formal. Lots of fun. I assumed you and Anders were going.

Cally bites her lip, then passes another note back.

Oblivious super-couple strike again. I'm in.

Veronica smiles at Cally and nods.

During the very interesting lecture, Veronica tossed a note on Piper's desk.

Prom dresses. After class?

Re: Sign in (US History, April 19)

[absolutesnark]

Piper grinned at Veronica.

Sure. So, you're going then?

Re: Sign in (US History, April 19)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica grinned back.

Yep! Wonder if Chloe will want to go to?

Re: Sign in (US History, April 19)

[absolutesnark]

I hope so. I think it'll be fun.

Re: Sign in (US History, April 19)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Most definitely! I'm going to invite Cally to come with us too. Anyone else we should ask?

Re: Sign in (US History, April 19)

[absolutesnark]

The more the merrier! Are you going to prom with someone? If so, who?

We'll have to hang out at the dance. I love spending time with Lindsey!

Piper tried very hard not to start giggling in the middle of class.

He loves spending time with you, too.

Re: Sign in (US History, April 19)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica, also tried hard not to giggle. She might not have been successful.

Chloe signed in.

Talk about WWII

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Because Josh's *handwavy* lecture was just that thought-provoking...

Re: Talk about WWII

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair does not answer any questions because he's nursing his writers cramp from the massive note taking he did during the lecture.

Chloe thinks she may have gotten notes on everything Josh said. God only knows if she'll be able to read it later, of course.

Dude, what about the secret vampire creation program and the search for the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail? These were important turning points in the war!
