#glohra

Glohra's send-off was great fun. Awarding prizes for the best confetti cannons is going to be tough; my students are very creative. Looks like I'll be busy this weekend watching the recordings of the event so I can be sure to make the right choices.

They packed all kinds of stuff like snacks, a datapad with some new holovids and music, and a pair of stilts so she can fit in with the local clones.

I nominated Glohra. I'll miss her like hell if she goes, but she's one of my best students and I think she'd not only learn new skills the fastest, but also have the most to share.

Hux nominated one of his music students. I guess he wants to have an "arts and cultural exchange" as part of the deal. Why not? Maybe one of the Empress's clones can absolutely shred on electrified dual guitars.

I'm sure Ben Solo has nominated one of his Force adept students, as well. A Sith empire could probably teach them a lot about the Dark Side of the Force. Most of their current education sways toward the Light side, but it's good to have balance.

I completely forgot I'd told my engineering class I was going to give them a test on droid construction and programming, so when they helpfully reminded me, I had to improvise since I hadn't actually written one.

I gave them an "oral exam," meaning I just asked them random questions about various droids and mechs and let them take turns answering aloud.

I will, of course, be grading VERY leniently, as, at one point, I got so flustered I think I just started asking questions about the Transformers movie. Which I didn't even realize until Glohra pointed out that the Matrix of Leadership was not the necessary component to make a regular battle droid into a general.

It was an easy mistake, really. You'd be surprised about how many similarities there are between Unicron and a Death Star.
