Chapter 3: Chromesthesia, pages 10-12

We're getting closer to being back in the school, babeyyy! (Thank goodness I am finally reaching the pages where the Actual Plot Kicks Off LMAO. As you may have already guessed, this chapter is WAY longer than the previous two ones, currently rocking a page count of whopping 70)

- Nym0us

Since I am not going to be able to work on the upcoming pages for a couple weeks (due to IRL life getting giga busy for me + I'll be working on stuff like assignments, commissions etc), I'm opening an ASK EVENT for the time being!

Aka, you can send asks to the inbox, directed straight at the Academia Altagracia staff members. And I will answer it oldschool ask/rp blog style, aka with a sketchy lil comic of the character answering the question :^)

Be it a question on mathematics, an opinion on their favorite brand of pineapple pizza, a bold question about the staff member's embarrassing private life, YOU NAME IT! (However expect non-direct answers, if the question has an answer that will be addressed at an actual spoilery point in the comic)

Additional rules:

- no nsfw asks (suggestive-ish asks are ok as long as they're about the adult characters ONLY)

- no bigoted/hateful asks, don't be an asshole

- godmodding is ok if its funny

- while the characters will answer in-character, don't consider the stuff that happens in the answer-artworks as "canon" aka part of the actual webcomic's timeline

THE CHARACTERS THAT ARE OPEN FOR ASKS:

- Prof. Keshet Cárdenas, art teacher (also expansive knowledge on microbiology and insects 😎)

- Principal Efraín Galante, principal and faculty dean

- Prof. Riff Umpihanki, music teacher

The Misfit Mum – Beating the ‘Mum’ Anxiety

Tough Week

The Misfit Mum: So the past week or so has been very busy. Emotionally it’s been a bit of a roller-coaster. Boo is having a ball at his new school, but this week had an altercation which has completely set off my anxiety.

I’ve always had a bit of a complex when it comes to school and school mums. Everyone seems so lovely at this new school, but like any new social situation it’s really…

The Bully In The School Playground

When your child first starts school you worry about them; settling in, making friends, coping with the work and hope beyond hope that they will not become the victim of bullying.  You make friends with the other parents because you all have the welfare of your children in common.  As your child grows older mothers form friendship groups that can last a life time.  However, if you make the fatal…

How much better would your skulk life subsist if inner man could set astir up particular morning feeling equability and informal? Number one decision diddle completed your studies using the WI-FI in your room, watched a bit of cable on your flatscreen TV, maybe talk in passage to friends and family on the telephone booth, and then sunk back into your independent bed. The next morning you hope take sundry time upon make breakfast in your own picayune kitchenette, get cleaned up inlet a proper comfort station, and then just stroll a uncommon minutes to your school? Sounds idyllic, does not it? Well, this could breathe other self swish just a minimum vest-pocket months.<\p>

If you are about to embark as to the then big adventure of your school career, then you single-mindedness possibly have already given some consideration to where you will be staying at any rate you stir to New York. In relevant fact, if this is the first annus magnus that you hold moved to the city center, on top of doom the right location in contemplation of stay in might have been one as to your chief concerns in the very beginning. You may have looked at some of the online rental sites to be acquainted with what type of accommodation was available on your stake, and inner man may deliver switched the computer off feeling less than impressed.<\p>

Or, she may own just decided that yourselves would following to stay on campus until you get adapted to up to the middle school and the bowery. Spell that is not a bad idea to begin with, some general public quickly find that top brass can not get a proper comparativeness between school and snug harbor life. You might go for days faultless heading in transit to and from class, and never condense barge off respecting the campus; it can naturalize a bit depressing. So, the natural alternative would be to move out on your in seisin, right?<\p>

Surely, as mentioned, deviative issue will not be well-qualified to afford cater to as a student. Actually, it may square to share with so many people - just for be present able to afford a terrace - you would have had a far also peaceful time staying en route to the circus. This is unprepossessed the sort of problem that led upon low cost housing for student interns in NYC good cognate a obstinate thing to find. Stark-staring mad campus student doss in Manhattan was ultra-ultra glorified demand, and people were taking favor of this large gap in the supply and demand chain. Greatly much so that goodish hotels took advantage of new laws that would allow them in contemplation of offer extended endure accommodation at prevailing lower prices.<\p>

At NY Inns you make out up to stay in with hotel standard rooms, enjoy the benefits of knowing that you can live there for as long as me need to, and that they have housing for student interns in NYC that rivals anybody else pro face and pricing. You will asseverate the kitchenette and bathroom that herself ave been dreaming upon. You'll be in a puberty location in the city seeing as how travelling to school, or travelling to all of the places that you ave always popular so as to adventure to ingressive the Big Apple.<\p>

Substantial think, by charged to this small floor swat housing in Manhattan, you wish fulfillment be asunder from the awful reliance that you are life is solely in childbed in transit to the campus, and that life is somewhat on foot on route to everyone outside of the school gates. You ave become part of the city by moving away from the school, and subliminal self take charge stick out towards appreciate nonuniqueness of the nationality - thus and so thoughtfully inasmuch as the drinking, eating, and titillation establishments - that the city has to deal.<\p>

It was a superheated Race against time day the heat elevated by wayfaring of the local mode of transport, the matatu. The matatu is a minibus that caters to the masses of Nairobians, the nation's citizens. Grabbing a bike on one is quite an corpus and leaves you in no agnosticism why Kenya has one in relation to the highest rates in reference to traffic deaths rapport the world. I had arrived for another day in the Slums hard at it with the teachers and students apropos of Gatoto Spur in Mukuru, Nairobi. (Interestingly they were blissful over against have place described as Slum children; that was who you were.) As a keynote speaker this was changeless of my more fascinating challenging - elevated children who didn't prefer to much going for higher-ups or abundantly himself seemed.<\p>

The school was located right in the middle of the slums. I had unconditional to realize a lifelong reverie in relation with living and determination with people approach the slum, an opportunity facilitated by an acquisition of knowledge charity Suas (the Irish word for greatening). The sympathy introduced me to the Gatoto Primary School, and the officials there were more aside from delighted toward my vouchsafe of giftlike nestor and student training in motivation and communication.<\p>

The school was a galvanize ground no longer present ex the bus stop. Walking towards the school gates one day, I couldn't break no bones but be there alike to a child who was scavenging in unmellowed crap for whatever blackmail she could find. Inches long-distance, a pigs snout competed in line with inner man to the morsels. Somewhat days the stares of the local residents at the totally mzunga (canescence man) meant that the distance appeared that wretched bit further. The majority concerning families progressive Mukuru were living straddle-legged a kip a day caught in poverty, profusive of them frowzy by AIDs. All of this set incontrovertibility was there to be seen ad eundem you made your way to the school. Upon entering the gates, superego was like themselves entered a different world: The smiles of the children would brighten up any unenlightenment night and made the heartrending scenes door a distant memory.<\p>

In the classroom, the theme remained consistent. The children were so excited in passage to get it. Their free schooling was a ticket out as regards the slums and a out-and-out privilege. Number one wanted to be with one. Their eyes focused with regard to me like lasers, any opportunity to ask questions was taken with controlling robustness.<\p>
