#glohra

Well, we finally said "Goodbye" to Glohra and the other exchange students today. We'll miss them terribly while they're gone, but we know they'll be in good hands. Hux insisted we send along a few combat troopers to accompany them, though. Our Academy students are usually pretty well-behaved, but he thought it would be a good idea to have some grown-ups from home around in case they needed to be reminded to be good guests. I hope everyone has some fun stories to share when they get back.

Glohra's send-off was great fun. Awarding prizes for the best confetti cannons is going to be tough; my students are very creative. Looks like I'll be busy this weekend watching the recordings of the event so I can be sure to make the right choices.

We'll be welcoming our new exchange clones next week, too, which is pretty exciting. I'm looking forward to an interesting week!

My engineering class decided to make a care package to send to Glohra. They spent all weekend putting it together. It was really nice.

They packed all kinds of stuff like snacks, a datapad with some new holovids and music, and a pair of stilts so she can fit in with the local clones.

It's really great to see how much these younglings care about each other <3

We'll be selecting which Academy exchange students will be sent to visit @empressofthesith soon. Hux intends to choose five students to go.

I nominated Glohra. I'll miss her like hell if she goes, but she's one of my best students and I think she'd not only learn new skills the fastest, but also have the most to share.

Hux nominated one of his music students. I guess he wants to have an "arts and cultural exchange" as part of the deal. Why not? Maybe one of the Empress's clones can absolutely shred on electrified dual guitars.

I'm sure Ben Solo has nominated one of his Force adept students, as well. A Sith empire could probably teach them a lot about the Dark Side of the Force. Most of their current education sways toward the Light side, but it's good to have balance.

I don't remember everyone else who got nominated, but I'm sure the choice will be difficult. Maybe if this works out really well, we can make the exchange program an annual thing.

Is it the weekend yet?

I completely forgot I'd told my engineering class I was going to give them a test on droid construction and programming, so when they helpfully reminded me, I had to improvise since I hadn't actually written one.

I gave them an "oral exam," meaning I just asked them random questions about various droids and mechs and let them take turns answering aloud.

I will, of course, be grading VERY leniently, as, at one point, I got so flustered I think I just started asking questions about the Transformers movie. Which I didn't even realize until Glohra pointed out that the Matrix of Leadership was not the necessary component to make a regular battle droid into a general.

It was an easy mistake, really. You'd be surprised about how many similarities there are between Unicron and a Death Star.

Ugh. I'm going to bed.
