Make Love, Not War

Actually, don't. At least not right this second - you have a blog post to read.

So, as Beth said - "everything has repercussions". Spooky how everything seems to get worked into class in one way or another. Synchronicity, baby!

I suppose there aren't really any true repercussions to this for us PERSONALLY - but there were repercussions that we may not even be aware of. Who knows how many people had a shitty day made even shittier by a jumbled up room? And really - that's not too cool...so maybe we should consider WHY we did it.

There didn't seem to be much of a reason for our shenanigans to the class as a whole. Personally, though...I had heard the class after us remark how we were rude for not putting desks back in orderly little grids. To me, that would be a minor inconvenience - not even worth complaining about. In fact, I'm not a fan of complaining in general - seems to me that if they were annoyed by this, they could ask nicely if we wouldn't mind reordering the desks. So the catastrophic shuffling of the chairs was a message - "HERE'S something to complain about."

Peace offering...yeah, we may have screwed up some days. If the class can reach some sort of consensus on WHY we did it, it may be wise to explain our reasoning. Also, we could explain the experimental nature of the Seeing Sideways class and mention that we were curious as to how they would respond. Of course, I dig Aaron Thalmann's suggestion - food is the eraser of ill will, after all. Y'know, maybe we could write them a letter of explanation amidst a giant pile of foodstuffs as a sort of offering. Savage? Perhaps. Enjoyable? Definitely.
