The X-Project

Not to play the devil's advocate, but don't you think they would have kept him under observation if he wasn't able to do the things he does normally?

Sometimes, in some situations, the best thing after a crisis is to do something that's normal, so that the person involved feels like they can go back to normal after all.

It's quite certainly none of my business, though. I'm just saying.

From:

Nathan has a bad habit of pushing himself too far. We have seen it before. I do not believe any of the staff has yet seen his post.

... I feel like SUCH a hypocrite this morning.

From:

I've noticed he does have that habit. Nonetheless, I doubt barring some kind of dramatic intervention you'll persuade him to cancel -- and while I have no idea how intense your class sessions are, having him there and doing something slightly more sedentary than usual may be deterring him from going at other methods of keeping busy.

There are worse things to be than hypocritical. Shows you care, anyway, that you're willing to put personal experience aside?

From:

*I* am not trying to persuade him to cancel. I am appealing to a higher authority with the ability to do so.

If the Professor says class is as scheduled, I will attend. If he thinks otherwise, there will be a study session in a location yet to be determined. Possibly with pizza, because if we're going to cut class, really, it should be done with pizza and soda.

You didn't see the state he was in yesterday. Angie's right, it's way too soon for him to be completely back to normal, however much he might try to be.

From:

And treating him like a child will really improve his mood, I'm sure. That's exactly what grown men like -- to be coddled as though they were five.

I'll keep that in mind. You do say the most interesting things.

From:

Thus the appealing to the Professor. I do not have the knowledge to know if it is good for Nathan or not - I have concerns, and intend to address them.

From:

Fair enough.

From:

As I suspected, the Professor had no idea Nathan was going to continue class.

How do you feel about extra-cheese and sausage on your pizza?

From:

Your TA, who is giving this study session legitimacy, would like pepperoni and mushrooms. :)

From:

Ooh. Mushrooms.

Olives?

From:

*wrinkles nose*

I love you dearly, Angie, but you have strange taste in pizza toppings.

From:

Olives on white pizza is GOOD.

From:

*wrinkles nose more* If you say so, love.

From:

Can you see if Miles or Artie have any specific pizza requests? I thought I could include them - not on the study session, but just on the pizza party part.

From:

I am merely getting two ecstatic bouncing boys at the mere mention of pizza. I tried to get topping requests, but they're too busy being excited about the pizza. :)
