Human Anatomy, Thursday, 01/11, Period 3

[blonde-doctor.livejournal.com]

Elliot looked like she was halfway between bouncing and running away in terror as she started her first class of the semester, and she kept wiping her hands on her slacks as if her palms were sweaty.

"Hi, people, welcome to human anatomy, which is the study of structures and systems of the human body,. If you didn't sign up for anatomy, you're in the wrong place. If you stick around without registering? You're volunteering to be dissected.

"I am Elliot Reid, which yes is a guys' name. Blame my dad. Call me Elliot or Dr. Reid. Doing the E.T. voice on Elliot will freak me out and earn you a detention. But basically, it's pretty easy not to get a detention in here - show up on time, don't miss more than three classes without letting me know, and don't be incredibly hugely obnoxious, and you're golden.

"I am passing around a couple of things. First, you have textbooks, which are yours to keep and love and put under your pillow. Second is my voice mail number. Call whenever. I'm also in my office Friday mornings, if you need me outside of class.You're also getting the class roster and syllabus. Syllabus is a guideline, not a rule -- it can change. Finally, my TA is John Dorian, so if you can't find me for something, talk to him."

Done with the preliminaries, she pointed to an area behind the rows of desks where seven-foot stretches of paper were taped to the floor, with buckets of markets between them. "To help make this class more visual, you're going to pair up and trace each other, and then we'll tape the drawings to the wall to fill in the body systems on as we learn them. But before you do that, I want to do some introductions. Say your name, your grade, and two interesting things about yourself. Starting with .... you." She closed her eyes and pointed randomly into the group.

Your name, grade and two things about you.

Henry was a little excited. He'd been looking forward to this class all week. "My name is Henry Jekyll, and I'm a sophomore." He thinks for a second, and decides to go with the obvious choices for his two facts. "I'm from London, in eighteen hundred and eighty-six. I plan to be a doctor, so I'm hoping to use the future medical knowledge to aid my own time."

"Peter Petrelli, sophmore," Peter said. "Uh - I want to be a nurse someday, and I'm from New York. Those facts aren't related."

"My name is Janet Fraiser, I'm a senior, and I'll be a doctor one of these days. I have a head start on Latin, since I took Classics all last year."

"My name is Aeryn Sun, I'm a senior," she says. "I'm not human, and I'd like to know the differences."

That totally counts as two things, right?"

"Yasutora Sado, but everyone calls me Chad," he scratched the back of his head; he hated introductions. "Sophomore. I, uh...bein' at school here is the first time I've legally been across the American border and, uhh...I like cats?"

"Ray Kowalski. Junior. I like coffee and I like to sleep." What, that was two things.

"Hi there. I'm Peter Griffin, I'm a junior." says Peter. He tried to think of two things about himself. "Um...I can eat Cheetos through my nose and I've been banned from Sea World. Long story."

"I'm Tannim Drake, I'm a sophmore from Oklahoma and I grew up on a cattle ranch," Tannim said.

When his turn came, Neil stood up with a friendly smile and folded his hands into the small of his back.

"Good morning. My name is Neil Perry and I am a junior here at Fandom High."

Neil quirked the corner of his mouth, trying to think of two interesting things about himself to extend to the class and after a minute's thought he shrugged.

"I'm from the 1950s and I'm totally normal."

"My name is Kabuto - Yakushi Kabuto, but everyone seems to mistake my surname for my given name. I am, by this school's standards, a Junior." He paused for a moment, then added, "I'm one of the top medical ninja currently alive, and I doubt there's anything you can teach me. But I'm curious to see you try." Smug? Kabuto? ...Possibly.

JD just stared at Elliot's forehead.

Must... resist...

His finger started to rise, his whole body tensing.

Eeeeeliiiooot

JD coughed loudly. "Um, right. I'm JD and I'm going to be A Doctor. I'm a freshman, I am one hip cat and I do not like pennies. Oh, and I'm the TA."

He waved enthusiastically.

For chatting, passing notes, talking to the teacher or anything else not covered.

JD remembered something about bringing food for the rats and, as such, had scrambled frantically for something the rats might like before class.

He appeared with some stale chocolate brownies. These were going to be some fat rats.

Tracing, Anatomy, 1/11

[blonde-doctor.livejournal.com]

One person lies down, the other person draws around them (and does not accidentally-on-purpose draw a mustache on their face). Then you switch places. Handwave if you need to; we should have enough people for even pairs, but if you're hanging for a really long time let me know and you can trace the teacher.

Peter laid out a piece of paper for tracing on. Now all he needed was a partner.

Re: Tracing, Anatomy, 1/11

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry looked around the classroom. He wanted to find a partner, but at the same time was a little embarrassed. What was he supposed to do? Walk up to someone and ask "May I trace you?"

Re: Tracing, Anatomy, 1/11

Marty looked around for a suitable partner.

Re: Tracing, Anatomy, 1/11

Ray looked around for a partner.

Re: Tracing, Anatomy, 1/11

Kabuto thought this was pointless. He could, if he wanted to, trace himself. But he would attempt to do as the teacher requested, and see if there was anyone to 'partner' with. Maybe he'd get to take them apart later.
