Friday, December 1, Second Period

More fresh-baked goodies today. Gingerbread cake, apple spice bread, several varieties of scones and muffins. And of course the required hot beverages. The classroom rather smells like a coffee shop.

Aziraphale seems a great deal less fidgety than on Monday. In fact, he looks downright pleasantly distracted, and is humming to himself whenever he isn't lecturing. Probably you don't really want to know the reason for this, though.

LECTURE: "Today we're going to study my personal favorite type of divination: tea reading. Although you heretics in the class may use coffee grounds if you like. On the table you'll all find several handouts on reading tea leaves. It's somewhat like dream analysis in that there are particular meanings associated with the shapes or symbols you'll find in the leaves.

I would like each of you to please drink a cup of tea or coffee, and then have your partner use the leaves or grounds when you're finished to conduct a reading."

[OOC NOTE: The links above do provide lists of symbols and meanings, so you're welcome to create your own reading. Or, use this link to generate a random online reading. (Yes, you can get an online tea reading. Don't ask.)]

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: "You should all have handwavily received a packet regarding our class's participation in the upcoming school pageant. I'm certain you're all as excited as I am to have this opporutnity, and I'm only sorry that I won't be there to see it. However, we will have a rehearsal in class on Monday. So I'll need to speak with Mr Sandburg and Mr Dean Winchester regarding costumes and choreography, Mr Conner regarding the choral arrangements, and also Miss Halliwell, Miss Longstocking and Mr Joxer regarding the solo performances. Please let me know if you know you're going to be unable to participate."

[ooc #1: I'm going to send out emails regarding the pageant over the weekend. The details of the Prophecy class's presentation can be found here. Also, please please please! If you can't or don't want to be one of the "volunteers" listed above, let me know and I'll make the necessary changes!]

[ooc #2: Please wait for OCD threads are up, I will see you all in the morning.]
