gloriousandfree[The video opens on a woman sitting against a wall, a little too ramrod straight to be comfortable and her smile betrays her nerves. She was never very good at this, having made a few mistakes on filtering and the wrong thing to say as a teenager. These things stick with her a little too intently]
Since this seems to be the thing to do, I suppose I'll introduce myself. I'm Madeline Williams, I went to this school for...[She counts] nearly four years, and I'll be teaching well--what I'm calling Modern World History. I know a lot of students never get into the last hundred years or so in history classes but I think that's some of the more fascinating events. We probably won't make it to the 80s or 90s to be honest and it will include more than just Europe and North America. A lot of things happened outside those parts of the world.
[She claps her hands] And I know it's a little unorthodox, but I'm going to try offering ice skating lessons at some point down the line. Perhaps not right away but there is a rink nearby. Or there was.
[Now she looks a little concerned] It has been five years. We-Well I'll just have to check and see if they're still around. I hope to see you all in class, thank you for your time.
