Professor Daniels looked at his watch. He still had 15 minutes of time to lecture, but to be honest, he just wasn't in the mood. The military and war sections of American history were difficult subjects to teach at an all girl's school. It was a shame too, because the Civil War was by far his favorite time period. But looking out over his (mostly) neatly uniformed female audience, he could see that there were already one or two students dozing as they leaned on their arms. Even the over-achievers had their eyes glazed over and were only taking the occasional note. He decided to cut his losses and sum up for the day a little early. "The important point to take from today's lecture is that one of the main reasons the Civil War was so bloody was the combination of the Napoleonic tactics that the Generals were trained in and the use of the much more accurate rifle over the previous generation of musket," he sighed audibly, pretty sure that no one had really heard any of that. "It's the main point I want you to get from Chapter 13, read it before your test," he continued, "Let's leave there for today, ladies. If you want to talk to your neighbor, quietly, you may. If anyone has any questions or concerns, just come up to my desk."
James sat down behind the nice wooden desk at the front of the classroom and ran his fingers through his blonde hair. He shuffled a few papers around to make himself look busy for a moment, but finally just leaned back in his chair and waited for the bell to ring. He closed his eyes, trying to block out the typical teenage girl chatter he was constantly surrounded by here. If he hadn't been promoted to one of the Assistant Headmaster positions in addition to his teaching responsibilities, he probably would have quit by now. This was a good gig though, despite not having any male students that might have an interest in what he'd tried to talk passionately about today, and despite all the craziness and estrogen he had to put up with on a daily basis.
