US Government [Friday, February 2, 1st period]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"As promised, today we have our first test of the semester," Josh said, then took huge gulps from his mug of coffee. "I'm sure you're all thrilled. If you're not, well, fake it."

He stood up from his desk and handed the test papers to Donna Pam to pass out.

1. The word "democracy" comes from two Greek words. What are they and what do they mean?
2. What year was the Magna Carta signed? Why is it important in terms of the American government?
3. What three things did John Locke believe we have a right to? Which one did Jefferson change?
4. If you had been King George, how would you have reacted to reading the Declaration of Independence?
5. How does the Declaration of Independence begin (initial phrase only: Jefferson loved the compound sentence)?

"Question or concerns that aren't 'what's the answer to number 4?' Ask away."

[OOC: Answer the questions IC or handwave what your grade would've been]

Josh glanced up, then stared.

"Holy crap."

He took another gulp from his coffee. Nope, she was still...kind of see-through.

"Don't worry about the test," he said promptly. "We can schedule a make-up when you're not all..." his hand flailed uselessly. "It's not permanent, right?"

"I hope not?" Dawn frowned, trying not to think about the alternative. "And, um, okay."

"Want some coffee?" Josh asked. "You look kind of cold."

"Thanks, but I can't hold the mug," she said ruefully, having already tried that this morning.

"Would you like a cup of coffee that's warm and sits on your desk, then?" Josh asked.

She shook her head, wincing as it made her neck ache. "No, thank you."

Josh made a face. "Let me know if you need anything. Trip to the clinic, maybe?"

That made her smile. "As in, 'Hi, I forgot to get my anti-invisibility booster'?"

"Around here, they might have one," Josh said, grinning back.

"Which makes it something it would have been good to know about before yesterday," Dawn decided.

"I see a strongly worded letter to the editor in your future," Josh said, nodding.

Dawn grinned. She really liked Professor Lyman. Kinda like Xander if he'd decided to become a lawyer and work for the government. "Just as soon as I can find someone to take dictation."
