Good Omens...And Bad: Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Class Fifteen

Monday, December 18, First Period

Extra care seems to have been put into the spread of breakfast offerings this morning -- muffins, bagels, coffeecake, spice bread, and scones. As well as plenty of hot beverages, and several types of juice. Aziraphale appears to be in a particularly mellow mood, although he frowns now and again when the thought crosses his mind that this is the very last meeting for this class.

"First off, I want to tell all of you how very much I've enjoyed teaching you, and just getting to know you. I'm going to miss this class terribly, and I do hope that even if you don't enroll in my class next term, you'll still stop by for a visit now and again.

Today, in place of a lecture, we're going to have an open discussion. I want to hear your views on what we've covered in class this term, and I also want to hear any questions that might have gone unanswered. There'll be a drop box for your final group projects to be turned in outside my office door, and it will remain there until Friday afternoon.

Truly, this has been a remarkable experience for me, and although I do expect to be seeing some of you for our final lab session on Friday, I want to thank all of you for making my very first teaching experience a wonderful and memorable one."

[ooc: No lecture today, but there will be are OCD threads for the discussion Aziraphale mentioned.]

Pippi talked about the results of a particular reading not always being apparent right off the bat, but in that there's always the danger of shoehorning something into an interpretation.

She mentions that, at the time, the reading she got in Vegas didn't mean anything to her, but she thinks she understands now.

She doesn't want to describe the reading or what it may or may not relate to however... So she rather trails off.

Dawn had pretty much the same view of prophecy she had when she started--it sucked to be the person who had the prophecies come to them and to be the person the prophecy was about and the people who recorded prophecies needed to learn to be a little more accurate. Not that she said that.

At least she knew all the different ways to divine now.

"If someone has a gift of prophecy, or gets visions, is there a way to get rid of it?"

"Sir? I still don't know if I'll be able to tell true prophecies from the self-fulfilling kind."

Maia reached into her bag and pulled out a box of english tea and some scone mix. "I'm going away for the holiday. Wanted to give this to you before I left. Merry Christmas."

There was a little card attached to it in the shape of an angel that read To my most special angel may all your Christmas wishes be granted in a single thought. Love always, your Maia.

Sam listened carefully as Dawn asked the question he wanted to ask, and thought about his own response.

"I learned that not all prophecies are necessarily bad, and that being able to see the future isn't always a curse. For some people, at least," he said.

Bel was just a little distracted, mulling over possible scenarios for the trip to the Underworld.

Anders was not at all directing a glare in Bel's direction.

He really wasn't. It was more of a sullen look.

Because she was going to go away for the holidays and would not see him; Maia laid a candycane on Bel's desk as she passed.

Phoebe had sat near Cole and now was watching Anders and Cole and getting a headache from the strong emotions. So, she tried to focus on other things.

I only wish I'd had the brain power to participate more fully this semester. You did a bang up job with the classes.
