The gym, Monday morning

Monday's the only day Aeryn doesn't have early classes, and any normal person would spend it sleeping in. Instead she heads to the gym, going straight for the punching bag. It's not an angry thing today, because really, give her a day fighting snow monsters and a... study group to deal with and she's pretty happy. This is practice.

It's probably no surprise that even if Cameron doesn't have early classes either, he's still up and in the gym this morning.

"Yo, you beat me here."

"If everyone else is going to be busy, I'm claiming it," she explains, smacking her fist into the bag again. "Hi."

Cameron moved behind the bag to hold it for her. "Put a nametag on it?" He suggested.

"Random nameless... thing?" She's not about to actually say vampire in a public area. She shrugs with another hit. "I don't think it needs a tag for that."

"I meant the..." He shakes his head. "Never mind," he frowns a bit. "This almost feels like a finale exam, too much time to think about it."

"We have to make sure we're prepared to take the test," says Aeryn. "We need to time to think about it."

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"At least we've been able to sharpen our pencils and clean our erasers this weekend," Cameron wonders if that makes sense. "It just gives them more time to do an announced test in the meantime."

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Aeryn nods, hitting the bag again. "One problem being that a lot of people's... wrists hurt? from the last test we took," she says, and knows that doesn't make sense.

"Then they'll just have to do an oral exam while we do the grunt work and write," Cameron frowns.
can_be_more: (it's still!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Aeryn makes a face at the phrasing of that. "They're going to do the oral exam if they feel like it anyway, but if we're... studious and quiet, then they won't make it harder on us."

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm always studious and quiet," Cameron huffs. "I'm still not comfortable with the study groups, though."

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're new to them," Aeryn says. "We'll know what we're doing."

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
He grimaces. "I more meant the whole involving Molly part. She's too young for... this sort of advanced maths."
can_be_more: (hey there durka!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Another hit to the bag. "Molly can take her own tests," she says, and really, Aeryn hasn't had a long history with formalized schooling. You're lucky you're getting this much out of her with this code. "She's done them before, she knows the material."

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes and afterwards she's so worn out and can hardly think," Cameron replies. "If a teacher would be really mean and swamp her with questions and we can't help because we're too busy taking our own tests, she'd... fail. I don't want to risk that. She needs good grades." WTF?

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"That won't happen," she says, and isn't even punching anymore because she's trying to concentrate on study things. "Someone will be watching her paper to make sure she doesn't... fail the test."

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Which means that you might end up with two people in your study group not being able to deal with new questions," Cameron points out.
can_be_more: (hey there durka!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Aeryn thinks about it as soon as she deciphers the code. "Anakin should be able to take his own test and make sure she's thinking clearly," she frowns at herself. "I'll see if he's up for some extra tutoring."

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Cameron doesn't seem too happy to find a solution, but he nods. "I suppose. Geez, I ask for advice on maths to Angel and the next thing I know we're a well organised and equiped study group."

"Well, he's an efficient... test-taker," Aeryn says. She may wince at the word, but she can't come up with anything else.

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"I suppose vampire college is hard," Cameron wonders if next time they can't come up with a better metaphor. Spoons wouldn't work though. "We've got a good group, lots of experienced test-takers. I just don't like to over study."
can_be_more: (it's still!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Better to be overstudied than understudied," insists Aeryn. "We either figure out what questions are going to be asked or people fail the test."

"Too bad we can't steal a copy of the exam," Caermon grins and sighs. "I know, so can we expect private tutoring in studying this week?"
can_be_more: (it's still!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Private tutoring in studying? "Yes?" she asks, because she finally got lost.

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Like you've been showing me how to hold my pencil right?" He hopes she gets that one.
can_be_more: (it's still!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh! Yes. Definitely," she nods. Like Aeryn actually really studies.

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good," Cameron nods. "Because not everyone is used to using... pencils and paper and we don't want to make... holes."
can_be_more: (it's still!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Aeryn stares at him, shaking her head. Because... holes? "Everyone will be trained in how to... use a pencil." Really, even she knew how to use a pencil.

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, getting the ticky boxes right can sometimes be a pain. You don't want to miss it." Cameron tries to explain. "Just crossing out the wrong lines might work too."
can_be_more: (it's still!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2006-01-30 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Long pause. She's pretty sure he's just messing with her now.

"Get the gloves," she tells him.

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2006-01-30 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes, ma'am." Cameron salutes her and goes get his gloves with a grin. He wasn't messing, though. "Want me to get a pencil too?"

"I'm hitting you harder just for that."
