Alright, I know it's a little last minute everyone but my Motivational Speaking class will be holding a Talent Show for the upcoming festival. If you can sing, play an instrument, dance, perform skits, do special tricks, or even read poetry, you can sign up here. I'd like for the show to last during the entire festival so that there's always a place to go sit down and  watch something, so I'd like as many entries as possible - and encore performances are encouraged.

If you're signing up as a group, be sure to put all of your names down on one line and the name of the group if applicable.

Students from M.S. class who want to participate but don't want to perform, I also have a sign up sheet for stage crew. I'll need help building a temporary stage as well as managing the sound and lights.

Students in my class that perform will get 10 extra credit points added to their first speech grade, stage crew get 5.

If it sounds good to you, then sign away.

Hello students and welcome to Motivational Speaking. For those of you whom I've not met or had in my Astronomy class, my name is Geno. You can call me any variation of my name as long as it's not entirely disrespectful.

In this class we'll cover communication skills and how to effectively use them to motivate, inspire, and persuade. Hopefully by the end of this year, you will have learned to communicate effectively.

I'll be frank with you - alot of you are in this class because you think it's easy. That's fine, actually, because it is. I will give no exams and assign no homework, aside from two prepared speeches, one as a midterm and one as a final exam. Aside from those two speeches, all our speeches will be impromptu - although you can do extra preparation if it makes you feel more comfortable.

As long as you actually come to class and participate in speech presentations, you will get an A in this class, easy. Also, you're free to make your speeches as fun, silly, and entertaining as you want as long as you stick to whatever theme you're going for. So really, this can be an easy, fun class for all of us. It's up to you.

Oh yeah,  no interrupting people when they're giving a speech, and be sure to always applaud them when they're done. We'll be critiquing speeches occasionally, but when we do, keep the criticism constructive. Being mean will get you sent to the headmaster's office. Or maybe I'll just kick you out of class and let Resetti deal with you. We're all in this together, alright? So let's support each other.

Alright, that just about covers it.

So! Since in this class we'll essentially be studying communication skills, I guess it's important to know how we communicate. Sure, we use words to communicate with each other, but we communicate in other ways too. Can anyone tell me ways other than talking that we communicate with each other?

Ladies! Gentlmen! Freaks and Pokemon!


You're.... pretty much piling up in this room because you are attending your first human transformation seminar. or "gijinka" as the Japanese call it somewhere.... over... in Japanland... Ain't that place supposed to be fictional like the United States? Who writes this crap?

Aniway...

My name is Powalski. Mr. Venomoth had to return to the Pewter Gym this year so I'll be taking over as your counselor for these sessions. My office is in the science department should anyone need to see me regarding these sessions.


so...


Before we started..... umm....

Everyone take a towel from the front of the room. *reading former gijinka counselor's lecture notes as he sits on the desk and points to the towels beside him* Those of you who don't normally wear clothes will be assigned uniforms after this seminar when we can determine your size and for now will cover yourself with these towels if anybody happens to be uncomfortable with human nudity.

*puts paper down* Where's Lombardi? He's late! *eyes back on paper*

Please note that these seminars are purely for the transformation process and for getting accustomed to going about your school and important duties in your new human form. Exploration of your new physiology on intimate levels should be left to your own time. And this is a co-ed group so it is important you respect everyone around you regardless of their appearance.

*puts paper down again* Wow! This guy was well-prepared! Just like when I first joined his seminars! *reads more*

and on a final note... Oh screw this fine print! *tosses paper*

Transformation can be done in a number of ways. Two of the most common methods are through magic and ninja jutsu, and you just need to learn the technique depending on which works better for you.

But that's for another day.

For now we have these! *pulls out a shopping bag from his chair behind the desk and plops it on the first student desk in front of him*



These gayly-colored smashball-wannabees will transform you in an instant! ... you just have to hit it hard enough. These balls of forced energy will last your transformation twenty-four hours and you'll each get enough for a week. That's all there is to it!

Using magic or other conventional practices to transform last depending on your magic or spiritual energy. Or chakra. Whatever you kids wanna call it, and It'll last anywhere from one hour to.... I dunno! But you last longer as you keep gaining experience with your transformation. At least that's how it worked with me. I'll be two months human on the 29th! ... or 28th since today was a leap year... That extra day has to mess up everything! You can also transform back whenever you wish, which you'll see momentarily

But I'll get on to such methods next seminar, and since I'm sure as hell not breaking my record, we'll have a highly experienced senior with us giving demonstrations!



...

Oh yeah! There's also this little catch where there's some things you miscellany creatures can't do as humans. Depending on what you normally are, but that's pretty damn obvious, right?

And all Pokemon, regardless of type, will have their powers restricted to normal-type attacks, so I'm supposed to give brawl excuse notes to anyone under the 24-hour thing.


Everyone take a ball and... chatter amongst yourselves until our model student arrives. I'm gonna play solitare on my DS.

We had something else planned for cutting senselessly today, but SOMEBODY made it known around that "I like Mudkips" and I was assigned to assign these instead.

WHOEVER PULLED THAT PRANK OFF, IT'S NOT FUNNY!

*ahem* anyway.

Welcome back to Zoology. Today we will begin our first dissection assignment. Everyone team up in pairs and grab yourself a mudkip corpse.

Squeamish sissies can drop from the class because we'll be doing this a lot. Non-human students with unable hands can do what they can for now or postpone the assignment for after tomarrow's gijinka seminar.



I will write the instructions on the board. LET THE BEAUTIFUL SLICING COMMENCE!

and don't ask about my mustache. it's gone for a while. deal with it.

Welcome back to all those who had the pleasure of having me as a teacher last year. I know that you know what I expect from you. As for the rest of you *smiles evilly* Welcome to Physical Education. Your teacher, one Waluigi Aoki Martinet. I won't mince words. This class will be brutal. You will hate me. You may even want to kill me. Just remember that I am legally allowed to hit you with a baseball bat and no one in the school will bat an eye. But at the end of this school year, you will not only be much more in tune with your physique, you'll hopefully be able to RUN AN ENTIRE LAP WITHOUT TRIPPING.

We'll be doing everything from working out to playing various sports. Heck, if everyone somehow behaves (ahahaha no way), I might even take you all out to go do some karting. You'll still be graded on your performance of course. And I might throw in  items in there.

But I disgress. That's a huge IF.

We've got to work a lot of work ahead of ourselves if that's to happen.

So listen up LADIES, it's time to put on your shorts and do some sweat'n, Waluigi Style.

Yeah, I don't care what you look like right now. After all, Waluigi is no judge of appearence (look at me, I've got a pink nose for Mk's sake). You could be a purple glowing space dinosaur for all I care, shorts are a requirement, I don't want any of you to run around with your equipment dangling in the open. A tank top for the ladies as well, I don't want the males ladies with to be distracted. If you can't fit in the ones I have in the huge pile in front of me, you either make your own, or you steal them from someone else.

Today's class will be a basic warming up excersize, (50 jumping jacks and stretching, then 30 situps) then a basic walk & run. That's it. So simple even a freakn' GOOMBA could do this.

So do your warmups, then walk around the track like you'd normally do while I grade you for your potential and tiers.
