Most definitely!

This is somewhat an open class… lots of assistant professors wandering around the room… some people that just sit and listen to the advice and watch the lab work. Take whichever path you choose. And, _ALWAYS_, questions are welcome.

So which study method do you prefer? And you have your choice of the professors to learn from.

**Arden** , you are a wonderful! Thanks for all your hard work! 😉 Take your well deserved break! But keep an ear out for the sounds of pandemonum in case things get as hectic tonight as they did last night. I never realized this class would be so popular!

[sub]Whatever would I do without the far wiser hands of the professors in my class![/sub]

Now, on to the other little _problem_ I created…

First, I’m not granting **any** sabbaticals. Look at how busy this place is! I **know** I can’t handle it all on my own. I’m good, but I’m just not _that_ good!

Now, **Verrain** , since **Arden** says you’re warmed up for… I mean, done with your course of instruction, let’s go into my office to discuss your grade. One on one final exam time.

**Dave** , you finish up with **Cyn** and let me finish up with **Verrain** … pupils are our first priority… _then_ we’ll discuss… Umm… your job performance (since I’m not discussing sabbaticals! 🙂 )

Does that satisfy everyone?

Absolutely, TP. I think it incumbant that we keep…abreast of the latest methods and advances in the field. And for that there is nothing like…one on one, peer to peer review, wouldn’t you agree?

I have a feeling you’ll _more_ than surpass my expectations. As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this testing isn’t mutually satisfying. 😉

We can work with this. Not the _best_ response, but can definitely be built into more. Let’s see where we can go with this…  
Sure is! Now I don’t have to wait for weeks for it to be used like I’d originally been afraid of.

So you reply with…

I look to probing the depths… of your knowledge and demonstrating my own skills. 😉

I hope all the plans for that seminar are well set? You’ll have to give me the details later, once we get a break in class.

That would be **Scralden**. I can’t teach him well, because of conflict of interest (he’s the Acolyte to my Goddess in my chat room) So he needs someone well trained in the flirting arts. That’s you m’dear. Go to him and teach him well!

Mmmm… Depth probing. That’s a special skill all of it’s own. And an important one. I think we’ll have to devote some extra time in the exam for that skill alone.

I suppose, in many ways, I still am a good girl. Aren’t all girls basically good? I’m told I’m very nice. And I just love very nice men. Are you a very nice man? (little smile, showing the dimple on the right)

I am always pleased to perform extra credit projects. Is this to be an oral exam? Will I need any special equipment?

Ten days ago you’d never heard of it, and now you can’t live without it.

Jeez. Louise.

This, _THIS_ is what I get when I miss ONE weekend on the boards.  
The longest thread I’ve ever seen. And it’s by **TruePisces**. And it’s about _flirting_!!  
Teach me to have activities on the weekends.

OK, **TP** , this is it. You’ve said, more than once, that you’d get back to me. For one reason or another, we’ve never really progressed beyond the initial flirting stage. I’m (understandably, in my view at least) a little frustrated about this. So, my secret weapon…

How YOU doin’?  
[sub]OK, it was my first time for that. Was it OK? Response-worthy?[/sub]

Yes, I can see that you’re a very nice. And I am a nice man. I can also be good. VERY good.
