brighid: nothing for a week and a half

Sitting at the bar, he drummed his fingers against the bar as he contemplated if the usual Scotch was pushing it while he was alone, even if he only had one glass, he didn’t want to tempt himself to go any further than one drink. Red wine felt stereotypical, he was sure everyone in here felt the same way. He settled on “anything with bourbon” and once the glass was in his hand, he was surveying the place, taking inventory on patrons, intent on people watching for a bit before retreating to go smoke. @bcdvampire

see morgawse is definitely one of the leaders of the avalon maidens in between two lungs, but she’s the leader in the way that an eldest sibling is an unoffical leader. how an eldest sibling leads or parents their younger when their parents are around to help them out, and / or when they aren’t to help  keep younger siblings of trouble etc.

the best example of this is when she's working. particularly when she's teaching. now, margot's romantic literature classes are . advanced. or they at least aren't for beginners. you probably can't take them if you're a freshman. im not sure if that's actually listed anywhere or not, but it's probably unspoken. the reason for this is that margot is a fantastic lecturer and teacher overall, her classes are funny and engaging anf you'll learn a lot, but she's not that good at one-on-one teaching. why? because she probably doesn't have the ability to ~Put Herself In An Inexperienced Students Shoes~ and explain things over and over. because romantic literature was something she understood very quickly, and people go into her class knowing this isn't for beginners ( hopefully ) so you should be getting it too wtf?

she's crap at answering questions about specifics in her teaching for this reason. if you email her and be like 'hey dr huxley can you elaborate on x?' she'll probably explain it to you as best she can and you just gotta hope that first explanation cleared it up because she'll probably reword what she's just said or ignore ya email if you still don't get it. your best bet overall is to ask somebody else in the class who understands rather than asking her.

she's a shit mentor as well, because she probably lacks the overarching basic degree of empathy needed to mentor other people. overall, she doesn't really have the patience or empathy to explain things to people who don't already know what they're doing and only need a little bit cleared up.

basically if you've taken lit history classes before or done ap classes in highschool if you're a freshman, you shld b fine. otherwise her classes may be challenging for some.

she also really doesn't want to take on a ta because she doesn't want to explain How She Does Things to someone who doesn't already know. if you want to ta for margot you gotta have experience or be a fast learner.

morgawse is very old and also orcadian, which means she was around when the vikings invaded and annexed the orkney islands.
