And snacks should be allowed in every class... seriously, Selina was certain with those few changes the school would run much smoother.
So sitting in Astronomy, as much as she loved the class and the teacher, at a late hour because it was, well, Astronomy made Selina want to sleep. She was paying attention, but her eyes were sort of droopy under the wisps of blonde hair that covered her face.
When a voice started to talk to her she startled awake and tried to focus in on what Kurumi was saying. The problem was that everything was a tad hazy at the moment. Finally, she caught up to what was going on and Selina started to follow Kurumi. Once Kurumi was done spouting off her no doubt correct knowledge Selina nodded and then said bluntly, "Okay, that's all very nice and well... but what even brought on the doubt that Pluto was not a full blown planet??"
Kurumi sighed. Did she really have to dangled a cookie or a steak in front of Selina's nose to get her to pay attention properly? Problem was, the prefect couldn't very well carry a cooked steak in her robe's pocket. She could carry cookies, and she did have some with her now - raspberry macaroons to be exact - but she couldn't very well just bring those out now...and it seemed silly to ask Professor Roslund if she could offer her best friend cookies right now.
"
Because...Professor Roslund asked us to?" she said, sort of confused by Selina's question. "
Oh, wait, you meant in general?" Possibly? "
Well, astronomers discovered what they thought was a tenth planet, Eris, and then they got to thinking that there might be more similarly sized objects discovered in the future. Eris is, actually larger than Pluto, so then they all sat down and came up with a proper definition for a planet. I suppose you could say that the discovery of Eris was the catalyst for it all."
Kurumi frowned a bit and idly drew some circles on her parchment. "
I still think it's sad though. They should have come up with a definition sooner, you know? Avoided all the inconsistencies and whatnot." Kurumi wasn't a fan of that. She liked things to be neat and organized.
