Welcome to Gaia! ::

Freddy had his head propped in his hand, lost in another daydream. He'd always had a bit of trouble focusing when forced to sit still, which meant that social studies classes tended to just draaaag. It wasn't that the things they learned weren't interesting, but it just took way too long to tell the stories. It was a miracle he was passing any of his classes at all with his attention span; it was only due to his ability to grasp things fairly well through self-study that he could keep up at all.

'Okay class, I'm going to divide you into groups of two. You and your partner will discuss what we went over and decide who your favorite leader was, then write a paper explaining why and if you think things would have ended differently if they weren't there. The paper is due tomorrow!'

That brought Freddy out of his daydreams in a hurry! There was a project due! Ah man! What had they even been talking about? A war of shards? Aaaah, why hadn't he been paying closer attention? Whoever got him as a partner was likely to be so mad!

'Freddy and Sindri,' he heard the teacher call out. With a soft groan Freddy gathered his things and went to move to the desk the teacher pointed out, still wishing he had paid better attention and deciding he would just have to make more of an effort from now to avoid a repeat situation!
