It's been a difficult week with all our recent losses, hasn't it? Sometimes it feels like we're helpless against the Tesseract's whims -- but I want everyone to know that doesn't mean we have to feel hopeless. If you're feeling that way, please know that you are not alone, and that there are people you can talk to about it. I'm one of those people, although by no means am I the only one. My door is always open if you need a listening ear. If we haven't met yet, I'm very much looking forward to fixing that. We all come from different worlds, but we're in this one together, which makes us a kind of family. And nothing matters more to me than helping my family, any way I can.
I've recently taken on a position as an ESD teacher and advisor, so I'm also available for any current or prospective students who would like to talk, whether you're in my advising group or not. In particular I'd like to highlight the course I'll be offering: Modern Education in this World. Some of you may have been unable to access a formal (or even an informal) education in your homeland; others may find their studies were specific to a world or a time period very different from this one. My course will help students like you pursue the knowledge & skills necessary in this world to pursue a secondary education or a job or whatever your goals may be.
Having lived in both a "fairy tale" land and a world much like this one -- having been a princess, a wanted bandit, and a fourth grade teacher -- I know a thing or two about adapting and transitions. I hope I can help some of you with yours, too. Lessons will be customized to suit each student's background and needs, so if you're interested, I'd love to hear from you about your situation!

Hello! My name is Mary Margaret Blanchard and I'll be your new ESD advisor. Some of you I've met already, but I can't wait to get to know all of you better. Have you decided what classes you're taking yet? If not, I'd be happy to help you narrow down your choices. Let's talk about your interests, academic goals, career ambitions or anything else you'd like to discuss. (I also want you to know that I'm here any time you need to talk about things that aren't school-related, so please don't be afraid to come to me. I'm a teacher, not a nun. You'll get no judgement here, only support.)
