In case you've been sleeping the entire class, your final projects are due tomorrow. I'll be around until very late tonight at the workshop to help any student who needs it- and I do mean help. I'm not building your projects for you. Remember that the project needs to follow the guidelines of your proposal- I will be grading based on accuracy and tasks accomplished.

For the teams that have been building trebuchets, we'll be launching them during the lunch hour tomorrow. Make sure they're ready to go by then.

Oh- there will also be a 'Safety Quiz' tomorrow, as I'm required to hand that out. Pass it or die. We'll look over everyone's projects, and then we can watch a movie with the rest of of our hour. Any suggestions for the movie? Not that I'll listen.

I always pick something Disney. That way everyone is unhappy for whatever reason.

But then I'm unhappy.

Although maybe I could go with the obvious and show Wall-E.

Yes, and I also have a coffee maker plugged in and ready to go right in my classroom. You can't hurt the keeper of the free coffee. There would be riots in the streets.

voice; have to spread the word somehow. >_>

If Free Willy is involved, no one is safe.

So now I'm thinking a horror movie would be a good idea.

Think of the coffee! Think of the coffee. And beyond that, I have plans for tonight, which dying would really make less than doable. I promise not to suggest any more Disney movies.

...And people wonder why someone like me is one of the nicer teachers.

I drink tea. But no- no dying tonight. I'll be good, promise.

Oh, come on. I'd like to think I'm pretty nice, all things considered.

...No coffee? God, why? That's not right in so very many ways.

It could be partially because I look cuter in heels. Speaking of heels! They rope you into the dance... thing?

Because tea is delicious and can be many different flavors? I don't understand the Coffee People.

Oh, I see- although that makes you a favorite, not necessarily nice.

And nope, not yet. I've been avoiding those that might ask me to chaperone. But it may be a lost cause. Why, are you going?

That's why God invented flavored syrups.

It's the sweet face. Fools them every time.

Unless I can find a sick relative or miraculously contract a hideous wasting disease that will last... oh, say 26 hours or so, yes. I got roped into chaperoning. Joy of joys.

I don't have enough experience with flavored syrups, I suppose. I'll have to give that a try next time I'm in a coffee mood.

Aha. Well, then you can surprise them.

Don't despair, I'm sure I'll get roped into it soon enough. I don't understand why it needs to be a City-wide event. There's enough kids just in the senior class here.

I'm making a Starbucks run before finals tomorrow. I could always grab you something...?

It's all part of the plan.

God only knows. My one hope is that my friend Wesley can't find an excuse so at least someone there will be more miserable than me. And that way, I have someone I can force to dance with me so I'm not stuck in a corner, hiding from "Graverobber".

Sure, but I don't what I'd even want. Pick me out something, and I'll pay you back?

Egh, Graverobber? I'm sure there'll be someone there to keep you from that fate.

Any flavors you know you won't like, off the top of your head?

I can only hope. Four years. He wants to bring chicken wings to my final, and he called me an older woman.

All right. I'll surprise you, then.

Unfortunately, they only condone physical abuse from the gym teachers here. I'll admit the thought crossed my mind, however.

Thanks.

Ah, that's right. Well, at least he'll be out of your hair soon. I can't say that I've had that problem, but I've only been here two years. And teenage girls are less...terrible than the boys, from what I can tell.

Don't mention it. A life without flavored syrup is no life at all.

Not if he doesn't pass. I'm a nice person. I like puppies, if I had money I would give it to charity, I don't flip people off when they do stupid things in traffic. But that kid drives me insane.

Let's cross our fingers that he passes, then.

Oh, damn- sounds like I've been recruited, too. See you at the dance? Unless you get manage to get that wasting disease, of course.

Shilo Wallace has been tutoring him, apparently. She's a good kid; with any luck some of it will have sunk in.

Ouch. Well, at least I'll have someone to keep me company there. I'm planning on confiscating then keeping any alcohol I find in underage hands, and you're welcome to a share of the spoils.

Rather the wrong reason to hope for success, but- hey, at least we still do.

Oh, now that sounds like a party. I don't suppose we can make the students watch while we drink their ill-gotten booze, can we? ...okay, I can see why I'm not the nice teacher now.

It's the unending optimism I haven't managed to shake yet.

Somehow I think taking shots in front of the kids would be a bad decision. Probably hilarious, but a bad decision. And since Buffy Summers almost caught me mid clandestine smoke break today, I should probably take a hint and avoid drinking in front of them.

...After, all bets are off, of course.

That there are. I can only show the R-rated ones in the senior class, though, so good luck finding a decent PG-13.

Well, it does convey the importance of this quiz, since my position depends on a certain percentage of the students passing. Can't have students accidentally sawing their hands off, now, can we?

Well, no. But you might want to phrase it differently or something. The way that sounds, it's like you might actually saw their hands off if they don't pass. On purpose.
