Journalism Class - Wednesday, September 7

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

((OOC - This is a lecture and Q/A session. It'll be open daily and Spider will always have something to say... if he's actually there. For student reference at the end of a class session - ie when I get home at night, the entire thing will be considated as coherently as I can manage and placed behind an lj-cut.))

***

The renovations done in the classroom set aside for Journalism lecture and discussion are obvious, beginning with the giant, floor to ceiling video screens which are, for the moment, mercifully dark. There are fairly comfortable chairs scattered across the room, two or three to a table, with the maximum capacity looking to be about thirty. There are plugs set in the floor beneath each table for laptops... and other than the minimal furnishings and the professor's desk at one end of the room, there is no other furniture.

The professor looks as if he spent the night sleeping behind the desk, sprawled back in his chair, feet propped on a laptop set atop the desk and a two-faced cat with a cigarette in one mouth leaning on his feet. There is a trashcan beside him overflowing with cans and an open pizza box with half a congealed pizza in it beside him.

There is a note taped to his foot reading, “Someone wake me at 1100”.

Phoebe enters behind Jayne and shakes Spider's shoulder gently.

"Professor Jerusalem...wake up, the students are arriving."

Having kicked back at Jayne and only succeeding in knocking the ash off the cat's cigarette, Spider hadn't even registered the theft of a slice of his cold pizza.

At Phoebe's touch he muttered something that was probably far ruder than it sounded and cracked one eye. After a moment, he tipped his head backward and looked up at Pheobe over the top of his glasses. "... remind me to give you a raise."

Phoebe smiled at him.

"Often," she said as she quickly cleaned some of the stuff off of his desk.

"Here are those forms you were waiting for."

"I'm going to run a check before the first damn fieldtrip. If enough people forget it might actually turn out to be less of an episode of babysitting and more one of getting things done...." Spider scanned the forms, pulling out a fresh cigarette. "Have any comments before we get things started?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe shook her head.

"Not currently. If I come up with some, I'll let you know."

She makes sure he has all of the forms and then goes to sit near Jayne.
