video; un: eunoia
( When the video comes up, a redhead with carefully applied makeup and purposefully-tousled waves comes on the screen, looking a little more like she's about to take a selfie than shoot a video. She's looking at the camera, but she isn't necessarily smiling, so much as just...looking thoughtful. )
Okay, so maybe reaching out to a mass audience is the best way to do this, so here goes. I'm Lydia and I'm feeling incredibly indecisive about a focus of study. I should probably keep my mind sharp between now and the time I end up back home/MIT, so I'm going to go to the university. That said, I don't really see any point in pursuing biochemical engineering here because none of it will probably transfer back home. So, fellow science-minded people of Cadelle, name your favorite science; help me pick a major.
Oh, and also...I'm volunteering on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. the Women's Building teaching self-defense classes.
( Because she's pretty sure it's the kind of thing Allison would do and if Chris isn't here, maybe it's up to Lydia to keep some piece of her still alive. This is the only way Lydia knows how. She's kind of garbage with a bow and arrow and she probably always will be. )
So ladies, if you've always wanted to learn how to kick somebody's ass if you're cornered in a bad way, or even if you just want to learn something while staying in shape, stop by. Don't make me be the girl who has an empty class her first day; that would be really embarrassing for me. I'll see you there!
( She grins a little and winks at that before wiggling her fingers in a little wave at the camera. Then, the picture cuts out and the video ends. )

Something like that, yeah. It's a new skill and I figured it's worth sharing. It's very empowering.

( she remembers just how good it felt to kick ass for the first time. a very specific, very annoying douchebag guy's ass, no less. )
What are you teaching? My mom used to volunteer to teach Judo to the police academy in the summer.

( Lessons with Jordan had been exhausting, but so, so worth it. ...for more reasons than just the fact that she learned how to take care of herself, but that's neither here nor there. )
no subject
( not that it matters a whole hell of a lot, but caroline could do with some structure to her self-defense strategies. she'll just need to be careful if they do any paired exercises. )
I don't have anything to do Saturday, so why not?
no subject
( She smiles a little. At least someone will be coming. )
It's Sunday morning. I'll see you there, then?
no subject
( a beat, and she adds: ) I'm Caroline, by the way. If you're not busy Saturday, I could use a hand picking out some workout clothes. I didn't exactly pack for barbie bootcamp.
no subject
( New shopping buddy, hello? Absolutely. )
