3rd period is in the can. But don't hold your breath for 4th for a few days... It might be monday or tuesday.

 

[GasBandit]

After lots of whip cracking, here is the penultimate episode of the semester.

Day 27-28 - Dream Goddess - Living the Dream

 

[AshburnerX]

The only way to play the popularity game is the long game. *nods in approval*

 

[Amy]

That teacher is inappropriate!

 

[PatrThom]

Watching it work would be inappropriate.

...Wait, Film Fanatic and Wasabi Poptart go separate way? Are we seeing the end of the Snoo Snoo-some Twosome?!

What the hell is an E? Excused?

Also... NEXT SEASON ON HALFORUMS ACADEMY! Who is this mysterious new gym teacher the district sent to whip us all into shape and why does she look like a murder suspect from a few years ago...

 

[GasBandit]

What the hell is an E? Excused?

I figured you'd know better than me, Mr. Moonpeople studier! No, it's definitely between D and F. And it doesn't seem to count as passing.

It should, according to this chart. It wouldn't be passing in the states, but it apparently is in Japan.

Grade in Japanese (Kanji)English translationCorresponding percentage4-scale university
shū (秀) Exemplary, excellent A (90–100%), rarely given
yū (優) Very good B (80–89%) A (80–100%)

[GasBandit]

Hrm, the text made it sound like DG failed the Phys Ed test, but she got an E...

 

[Celt Z]

Woohoo!

 

[PatrThom]

Soo...Jess is the only one who didn't pass Academics?

--Patrick

 

[GasBandit]

Soo...Jess is the only one who didn't pass Academics?

--Patrick

She is the only one who was not in the class for the big exam, so she has no grade there.

 

[Officer_Charon]

Lana, I'm disappointed in you, young lady. You're supposed to be on hand to break up hallway shenanigans!

 

[DarkAudit]

When do we find out if the teacher made good on her promises to those passing the exam?

 

[PatrThom]

I find it amusing that Gusto is upset about being interrupted.

--Patrick

 

[GasBandit]

When do we find out if the teacher made good on her promises to those passing the exam?

She hasn't yet. Neither has Jess. But everybody else's flag is cleared, so either they bombed or they have been rewarded, as each case dictates.

 

[Eriol]

What is the background music that's playing through most of it? 6:46 for sure, though it starts before that. It's freaking me out that I can't remember where that's from!

 

[Null]

I'm just amused that creepy-ass 2D Waifu guy Ronan is 6th in popularity.

 

[PatrThom]

It bugged me, too...until I finally realized it this morning.
Now you know how @GasBandit felt when he couldn't remember it.

[GasBandit]

What's really mindblowing to me is how Dirona and Lana are enemies, then have an affair, then break up, then fight, then do it all over again.

I've ridden too many domestics to be too surprised...

 

[GasBandit]

Hey, guess what, guys

 

[Dei]

[Cheesy1]

¿Qué?

 

[GasBandit]

Day 29 - Jess Pezzleton - The End

 

[PatrThom]

Hey, guess what, guys

It's FRIIDAYYYY?

Day 29 - Jess Pezzleton - The End

Oh.

--Patrick

 

[WasabiPoptart]

Spoiler

Did Wasabi and FF break up? I thought this episode might give a clue.

 

[Cheesy1]

Spoiler

Well, it was either going to end with a death or a pregnancy. Death decided to keep its streak going.

Spoiler

Unfortunately, there's no way to check. Being murdered while controlling a student means I can't check standings or relationship statuses afterwards.
