Closing his lesson papers Professor Roslund said
"You have to choices for homework. One you write a story or diary entry of your visit to one of the planets in the solar system with a space craft. You cannot choose Mercury. Or you can choose a planet and create your own original myth. The assignment is due one week from today." "That’s it. Class dismissed! Go to bed everyone!" Edvard feigned a yawn and turned to erase the pictures from the blackboard and put the observatory back to its usual appearance.
occ: Class is dismissed. I will add the last replies in tomorrow..Totally energy zapped. Thank's for making my first lesson a success!
Alyssa quickly jotted down in her journal what the homework assignment was going to be. "Another new and original myth about a planet?? Now that was going to be a tough one," Alyssa thought to herself. But she decided that she'd figure out which assignment she'd do later. Right now it was time for some shuteye or breakfast, which one she felt like first by the time she got downstairs. Grabbing her things, she walked over to the Professor,"
Thank you Professor, for a very eye opening lesson. It was very interesting." Alyssa smiled at the Professor, stifling a yawn as she made her way back downstairs.
