The Lecture

Tuesday morning was an atypical day...since all there was was a lecture from ten till noon...but it still entailed a frantic rush out the door after breakfast for class. River too. Both were lucky that they weren't late. 15 minutes after classes started, the profs locked the doors.

Of course, Haruo getting there earlier than River was engrossed in a conversation with another student, female...of course...but River just eyed him with eyebrows raised and he quickly followed her into the lecture-hall...

Scot Macklamoor, evidently had too much fun the night before and passed out on the floor. It certainly caught everyone's attention for a while.

Evidently order wasn't present in the classroom, since everyone seemed to stand around and mill around even during the course of the lecture...but it didn't seem to bother the instructor, Madeleine Noetal. That was probably because she was insane. I'm sure I've known a few profs like that in my time...

The Fine Arts Lecture class that was held from 10-12 Tuesday and Thursday, was the only class that River and Haruo had together and yes, they definitely took advantage of it.

Others in the class, like Jerry Dean and Ann Connors chose to catch up on their sleep. It was a packed class and some students whether they wanted to or not were left standing...and Haruo and River took advantage of that, by standing beside each other trying to listen intently to Ms. Noetal teaching the class. What sense they could make of it would probably be dealt with by themselves at home.

Since they didn't want to dip too far into their savings for everyday things, Haruo headed over to the Elixir store...to sell off a few gemstones.

After which upon returning to their dorm, River studied...and Haruo...well, he sketched in the bathroom. What wonderfully aromatic odors he's discovered...BLEAGH!!!

Maybe Madeleine Noetal's exhortations of "Learn to live art, create it where people will least expect it...you all have it within you..." started rubbing off on Haruo's mental stability.

Yeah, it's probably a little too early in the semester for that...
