"Hopefully you all enjoyed your holiday. I know I did." The Doctor is wearing...tie-dye. Yes. Tie-dye. And the room smells slightly...interesting. Probably from the tubs of colours sitting in one corner, next to a bunch of t-shirts. And sinks have appeared from nowhere. Interesting.

"And since people didn't seem to find analysing very interesting last week, I thought I'd give you something more hands-on. Atmospheric. Without actually taking you to the period...yet...I thought we could all go back to summer camp and tie-dye shirts, listen to Jefferson Airplane, bitch about The Man, and talk about Zen Buddhism.

"No cannibis, but I won't make you sort lentils, either."

Current Mood: creative

Duncan isn't here today, but Anders, decked out in his Caprica Buccaneers jersey, is waiting in the gym for everyone. If this were any other kind of class he might look incredibly nervous at having to do his TA thing for the first time, but it's gym, for frak's sake.

The Pyramid court is set up in one half of the gym with the grapefruit-sized ball at center court, though one of the rebounding boards is missing and has been replaced by a makeshift panel cobbled together from spare bits of scrap. There are a few basketballs resting on the freethrow line on the other half of the gym's basketball court, extra Pyramid balls in Anders's gym bag, and warmup mats set out along the sidelines.

"Hey, guys," he says. "Professor MacLeod couldn't be here today, so you're stuck with me instead. Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, for today I figured we could start out with our usual stretching routines, and then you have your choice of playing basketball on that side of the court, or learning to play Pyramid with me on this side. If you pick Pyramid, don't worry, I'm not gonna start you guys out with the full-contact version." He smiles cheerfully. "I'm pretty sure nobody here but me and Cally knows the rules anyway, and there's no time to go over the handbook today, so it's pretty much gonna be getting a feel for the basics."

Sure enough, the most recent edition of the Colonial Pyramid League official rulebook is sitting in the front row of bleachers. Predictable, really.

Anders picks up the Pyramid ball and bounces it off the floor a few times. "Oh, and after class I'll be hanging around for about the next period, in case anybody wants to use the weight room and needs a spotter, or any weight training tips. So!" He claps his hands together loudly and gestures at the mats. "Let's have at it."

[OOC: Posted super-early because I won't be able to do it until much, much later. Slow play, if any, from me until about 5 PM PST. Sorry!]

"Good morning, everyone. Today, you have a quiz. After that quiz, you may leave."

Ms. Sidle sits behind her desk with a wriggling puppy on her lap.

[ooc: Same responses as for exams and sorry for no lecture today. Mun is braindead.]

The budding young paleontologists (and those just here for their science credits) are treated to a big batch of Twinkies today. Smart Doctor Glasses Dude (aka Dr Tommy Oliver) is strangely absent. Instead, Professor Ted 'Theodore' Logan is at the front of the class as people come in.

"Afternoon, dudes! Smart Doctor Glasses Dude had to go out of town, so I'm taking his class today. For those I haven't met yet, my name is Ted 'Theodore' Logan. You dudes.. uh, dude and dudettes can totally call me Professor Ted. I normally teach music, but I've done some time travelling in my time, so I can teach about dinosaurs too!"

He cleared his throat and continued. "Some dinosaurs were big. Some dinosaurs were small. Most dinosaurs were cold-blooded reptiles, but some were warm-blooded too. Warm-blooded reptiles. Weird huh? Anyway, some dinos could run. Some could only plod along slowly. Those were the couch potatoes of the dinosaur kingdom. Some could even fly, and they didn't even have feathers!

They were totally like us, dudes. They lived together in herds and they ate food and drank water and listened to music that they made with their own voices. They had enemies and fought battles and celebrated together. They may have had smaller brains than us, but they totally lived like us. Remember that when you're digging up their bones, dudes. They're not just dead animals. They had lives too...until they died. Then they had deaths! But not like DEATH who used to go to school here. Or my good friend the Grim Reaper.

So, today's talk poses a most serious question. If you were a dinosaur, what would your life be like? Would you be a party animal dino? Or a quiet dino? What would you do for fun?

Uh, yeah. That's it. Party on, dinosaur-digging dudes!"

Dream sits cross-legged on his desk as the students file in. He appears mildly irritated.

"Hello, students. I hope you all find it fair that you are in this classroom today, and that you properly appreciated the lesson with Mr. Chaucer on Tuesday."

Classics: You have had a week to read the Homeric Hymns of Hesiod. Is there a hymn that you especially enjoyed reading? Why?

Also, your midterm will be next week. It would serve you well to review your Greek grammar in advance of the test.

Foreign Lit: Select an Italian Poet other than Dante. Write 100 words on their life and work.

You too will have an examination next week.

The students are greeted as they enter not by Professor Dream*, but by a small pink kitten sitting on the desk next to the sign-in sheet. Well, they will be once someone looks directly at her. Until then, the small pink kitten? Adorable, but invisible.

A stack of Cat vocabulary sheets are sitting next to the adorable pink kitten. The following is written on the board behind her:

We will be having a very special class on Cat today. Please greet your guest speaker, me, Zero Hopeless-Savage.

1. Conversation. Talk with Kitty Zero on any subject. Your end of the conversation should ideally be in Cat, however, if your limited vocabulary or the limits of the human body prevent this, feel free to use English. Kitten Zero understands it. Since Cat is such a body language-intensive language, if your statement requires actions thought vulgar by humans, please use English. Then repeat back to Kitten Zero what you think she said, in English. She will tell you if you're correct or not.

If all else fails, one mew for yes, two for no.

2. Comprehension. Kitten Zero will recite a short passage. Record what you think she said.

3. Discussion. Ask Human Zero about facets of the Cat language or Cat culture you would like to know more about. Please remember that her experience is limited.

*Unless Professor Dream is present.

((OCD threads are up! Go for it! But please remember that due to a class this afternoon, I may be doing the dance of slowplay.))

201--2nd period

It's Thursday, you know the drill.

*** *** *** *** ***

301--3rd period

So? Speeches? Rhetoric? Power? Shep...you had a really good observation yesterday. Elaborate for the class.

Oh, and if I don't start getting some coffee out of you, I'm going to get cranky. You can't spoil me for a few days then stop Boone. That's just mean.

Sex Cultures: 6th Period

"Welcome, class. Now, up until this point, we have been looking at sex as a part of other societies. About how about the societies that sex creates?

Our first area of study will be the study of sex itself."

Lecture on the History of Sexology

Discussion: "Which pioneer or even current sexologist would you like to learn more about, and why do they interest you?"

"No homework this weekend ~~I want you unbroken for Tuesday, mwa ha ha~~"

Oh, and Ms. Cally, if I could see you after class, I have a question for you. ~~Not a dirty question, omg, it's Cally for pete's sake.~~"

Current Mood: devious

She's going over the preliminary draft so she can submit the paperwork to the office regarding the creation of a Peace Club. It's likely no one's worldview will disturb her zen today.

[ooc: Hi! I have nothing to say, really. But there's always an OOC note. Oh! Wait, yes I do. I would totally have your grades for your essays up today, but um, still missing them from a couple people. If you don't get them in by this weekend? I'm not grading them, and you're going down a grade. Letting you know. Anyway. Class Info Post]

Rory sat on Tick's desk, looking very, very grumpy. All her limbs were still attached, though, and she was nursing a large cup of coffee.

"So. Hi. Professor Tick unfortunately couldn't be here today, so I'll be leading the discussion today."

( Class 14 )

Today's math class ~~is posted very late, sorry~~ has apples, oranges, juice and coffee. It also has lessons. And Charlie being behind his desk.

The Intermediates get sheet of paper and five dice, the Beginners get to learn and test themselves on the Multiplication tables, and the Advanced group gets to study robots.

Cameron gets to take a test.

"And your grades and your tests will be given on Friday."

auroryborealis.livejournal.com

After teaching first period, Rory toddled sleepily into the library and began sorting books for reshelving.

And occasionally pulling her arm in and out of her socket, just to see what would happen.

The library is here, and the aides are happy to help. Okay, happyish. Whatever.

Current Mood: wtf, limbs, wtf?

Methos is reading a frighteningly thick book. Be afraid. He looks up as people come in and sets it aside, ready to launch into discussion.

Chloe has her big travel mug of coffee completely filled with caffeinated goodness. Clearly, it's time for the newspaper staff meeting.

Camulus still hasn't made an appearance and Phoebe is looking more and more worried. In fact, she looks like she might burst into tears any moment.

"Alright. Sign in, partner up and work on your knights. Remember, they're all up for grabs except for Launcelot. I already did the man."

Partners 1 --- Allie Cameron and Boone Carlysle
Partners 2 --- Lyta Alexander and Charles Kawalsky
Partners 3 --- MacBeth and *handwavey* John Connor(?)

"The next part of the assignment is going to be to study for your mid-term which will be on March 2nd. Your mid-term will consist of the list of knights, the grail and perhaps Guenevere. I honestly don't know. I don't know if Professor Camulus will be back by then or not. It looks like I'll be writing your mid-term for you guys."

When students came into class they found Angel at the front of the room. He had a stack of Xeroxed paperwork with him. If it looked like he was clutching those pages like a lifeline while he talked, well there was a good reason for that.

"Uh, Prof. Lyman's out today," Angel said. "I don't have all his notes on what he wanted to cover, but I know today he wanted to talk about campaign finance. So, um, let's take a look at the reading first."

Angel ( handed out the papers )

"So, uh, basically whoever has the most money tends to get elected," Angel said, "and attempts to try to level the playing field either get thwarted or accused of being against the Constitution. Since I don't know what Prof. Lyman wanted to do as far as our three groups, I'm going to stick with class discussion where hopefully I won't have to talk too much. Let's, uh, talk about the following:"

Angel wrote these questions on the board. Yes, the handwriting was very precise ~~and girly~~.

1) Should there be limits to how much a campaign can spend?

2) Are campaign contributions a facet of free speech? Should they be protected as such?

3) Do you think campaign finance law needs to be changed? If so, how?

"Oh, and - " Angel looked around randomly, then pointed at Logan, "how many days left until the election?"

[OCD threads ~~a-coming~~ are up like uppy things that up]

[ETA: Going to class m'self. Back around 10pm ~~Eastern~~ FHT]

Business Law - First Period

"Don't forget, midterm on Tuesday," Lorelai said after everyone was seated.

"Today we learn about the different categories of torts. If you have any questions, let me know. I'm going to try to make it on campus Monday afternoon, so if you have any last minute issues before the mid term, I'll be in my office."

( Lecture on Categories of Torts )

HR Management - Sixth Period

"Don't forget, midterm on Tuesday," Lorelai said after everyone was seated.

Daniel's attention is focused on his laptop as he waits for his students.

"Okay, hopefully you're all set to present today," he said. "And after that, I hope you've all remembered the gifts Pippi so thoughtfully gave you last lesson, because I get to be the adult supervision."

Daniel's pleased with this. Normally he's the one who has to be supervised.
