Mature Passions: Study Buddy
Most educators you talk to will tell you that hands-on learning is the best method for teaching any topic. Not only is there discussion involved, but actual performing of the skill or topic occurs, thereby enhancing its educational value. As an added measure, students surveyed said they actually enjoyed it much more than a plan demonstration or lecture. Well I am here to tell you that they are most definitely correct and the "hands-on" practice makes the lessons much more enjoyable, especially if the subject is human biology, if you catch my drift.
Let me tell you about my encounter of "hands-on" learning. It began about a couple of years ago when I had enrolled in night classes at a local university. After spending about 9 years in the service developing guidance systems for missiles, I decided I wanted to work on the civilian side. The main reason was that the pay was better and more chance for advancement.
Anyhow, I was lucky enough to get hired on with the same outfit I worked for in the service and I didn't lose my seniority or anything. In fact they liked me so well that I entered as a GS-13 on the civilian government pay scale. To further my education I decided to finish my BS degree in computers and enrolled in a couple of night classes, a science( Biology) class and a English requirement for which I chose Classic Eros Literature.
Since I had been living in the base housing, I decided to rent me a small one bedroom apartment near the edge of campus. I had had my fill of roommates in the service and I wanted my own space where I could study or bum around when I wanted to without having to worry about a roommate bothering me.
I met the woman who would rock my world the first night of class. I had noticed her in my Biology class but it was so large that I was one of only 150 students in a huge auditorium room. However, in my lit class, I was able to sit by her, mainly because I was a little late finding a seat and the class was about to start so I chose the first chair that was open.
She had on a white short sleeve poly cotton pull over knit sweater blouse and a blue cotton skirt that came down to just above the knees. The blouse was a little modest but had the potential to allow one to get a glimpse of her cleavage in that it had 3 buttons on the neck line, for which when I first saw her only one was open but by the time class was over it would be all the way open.
The skirt was blue with small white dots and had a small slit on the side just above the knee. In addition she had on blue thigh high stockings, matching garters and panties and navy blue 1 inch heels.
Her hair came down to her collar and was black as a raven and very straight. Her eyes were a deep brown and very captivating. Her ruby red lips looked sensual and enticing and her slender 120 pound 5'7" 34C-22-34 body beckoned to be explored. Even though she was about 15 years my senior, in her early forties she still had what it took to turn heads.
"Excuse me is this seat taken," I asked her in a polite way and she turned to me and as our eyes met, there was an instant connection and spark of chemistry between us.
"Not at all hun," She said in a country twang accent but with a sultry tone. "Knock you self out sweetie," to which I replied in a joking manner with a smile "Okay but wouldn't that be a bit painful?"
She smiled and laughed and said "I like that, I'll hafta remember that."
"By the way, my name is Jenna," she smiled as she extended her hand to me.
"Pleased to meet you Jenna, my name is Steve," I replied.
"The pleasure is all mine," Jenna said giving me a look that said she definitely liked what she saw.
I guess the reason Jenna and I hit it off so well was the fact that she and I were the only ones in the two classes we shared that would be classified as "non-traditional" students, meaning that we were both older than the rest of the students in the room which had an average age of about 20
The class "droned" on for about an hour but Jenna and I were too busy talking, giggling cutting up and flirting with each other to too much know what was going on Finally about 8:30, it was over seeing that the professor just talked about what would be covered during the term.
However the professor did assign a 300-500 word essay the topic being "Discuss the sexual fantasy aspects of the story Eden's Forbidden Desire and compare them to you how would experience them if you were the main characters." My first reaction was "Shit I hate these kind of papers"
The professor did add one thing to the project at the end when she said "I know some of you may prefer to work on this as a group effort, that is fine. Just make sure your essay has all the name of the group members. And besides, once you read this story you may just find working with a partner will make it that much more enjoyable and memorable."
As the class dismissed everyone filed out except for Jenna who purposely stayed behind to wait on me.
"So sweetie, you hungry," Jenna said as she zipped up her bag.
"Yeah I am," I replied
"Great, how about you and me grab a bite somewhere and we can discuss our mutual classes.
"Sounds great," I replied "Where?"
"How about Rolly's Truck Stop and Diner," Jenna suggested "They have great food and they have quiet booths where we can talk."
"Sounds like a plan to me," I replied, "However, I will need a lift. Since I live practically on campus I didn't bring my car."
"I think we can work out something out," Jenna said with a naughty wink licking her lips. "Come, lets go get something to eat," she said as she took my hand in hers and we walked hand in hand to her red convertible which was parked just outside the Business building halfway across campus on the other side of the large quad.
As we walked, Jenna took out her leather cigarette case and lit one up. "Would you like a ciggy hun," she said with a smile.
"Sure I could use one after that class tonight," I replied. "That paper in lit class looks like its going to be a ball buster."
"Know what you mean hun," Jenna said with a smile, "but don't worry sugar, I am kinda good at bullshitting my way through lit papers so I will give you a hand. Besides, I am going to need help in Bio so I figure we can work out some mutual beneficial agreement."
"Sounds like a good game plan to me." I replied.
"And besides," Jenna added, "it's always more fun to study when you gotta a study buddy," she said with a naughty wink, implying that she wanted to do much more with me than just study bookwork.
There was a slight nip in the air that night and I noticed Jenna was getting a bit chilly as was I. The long sleeve indigo colored soft denim shirt and olive casual slacks I was wearing may have been okay for the office and the classroom, but since the sun had gone down, the temperature had dropped into the upper 50's and the wind was blowing, a jacket would have been much better.
" Damn, I knew I should have brought my jacket," Jenna said in a huff of frustration.
