"Well, you do my stats report and I'll do Bird by Bird," Blue teases, but she gives her a sympathetic smile. "Yeah, I did a lot of bullshitting in Freshman Writing. Maybe think of it as like...the stupid busy work tasks you have to do to prove your worth in a fairy tale...?"

It's kind of a terrible example, because that indicates that Aggie's going to come out of freshman prereqs with a princess or a kingdom, not more work to do, and Blue's pursing her lips even as she says it.

"That's fair." Blue nods thoughtfully. "I can't tell what's weirder, Darrow's idea of local history, or when they actually have world history classes. I mean. How do they even pick a world?"

She's actually not even sure they don't have multiple worlds on offer in the international history classes; she doesn't take much pure history. In her SOC classes they sometimes use examples of societies that back home would be considered fictional and here -- clearly can't be -- but it's not especially necessary to know which one the professors think they are for the analysis.

"Living in a bubble makes applying education a little...different..." she acknowledges with a wry laugh.
