Friday's Anthro Classes

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Introduction to Anthropology:

ATTN: prue_h and studentwillow

CUMULATIVE:
futurebucs_star [1]
harried_potter [2]
positive_angel [1]
*prue_h [4]*
sharon_valerii [1]
*studentwillow [3]*

Note: Neither of you made up your classes, so unfortunately you will have to sit through detention. Willow, I know you handed in your homework, but you didn't make up your class, and I have to keep my rules up. But after detention, both of you will start with zero absences again.

ATTN: prue_h

CUMULATIVE:
death_n_binky [1]
futurebucs_star [1]
harried_potter [2]
*prue_h [4]*
suzotchka [2]

Note: Prue, you are not only missing classes, you haven't been handing in your homework either. Now, if you are sitting through this detention, I won't give you another detention for not handing in their homework. I will just have the detention count for both things and you'll go back to zero. But please let me know if you're still alive and able to come to class soon.

That done, let's get to business. I think you all really liked the sex lesson. I don't blame you! But now we must move on, sadly, to bigger and not-so-better things. Like, language. This includes both vocal and body language. This ties in with my linguistics course, but how does language and culture mesh? For this, we're going to listen to different languages and compare them with the cultures that they're from.

Homework: Do your reading and hand in the questions at the end of the chapter (Chapter 3). (OOC: Obviously you just need to write *hands in homework* for this one, since I ain't givin' you no questions :P)

Egyptian Archaeology:

ATTN: missromana

CUMULATIVE:
alchemic_bean [1]
apocalypsesoon [1]
darkchylde_ [2]
*missromana [3]*

Note: You need to make up class ASAP. If you do not, I will be forced to give you detention next week.


CUMULATIVE:
apocalypsesoon [1]
lisacuddy [1]
missromana [3]
youngest_sister [1]


So, guess what we're doing today? Nope, no grave goods! We're looking at some pyramids and the chambers inside him. Isn't this just fun?

Homework: Design your own pyramid, complete with different chambers of funness. Nothing too complex, just a few rooms.

Cameron enters the class and take a seat somewhere in the middle. He's distracted and not paying as much attention than usually does as he keeps doodling things on his notes and then erasing them again.

Why are pyramids pyramid-shaped?

All... the math would escape and eat the universe? I ... see ...

Re: EGYPT

That is a good question.

The shape actually had no symbolic significance that we know of, but simply was the right shape to endure earthquakes and were able to reach a greater height than rectangles.

Re: EGYPT

lalala
rectangles are like squares lalala
except they know how to dance lalala
so I guess they're not really
lalala the same thing like earthquakes

Beka gives Daniel the sort of smile that might melt Shep a lesser man the guy who gave her flowers last night, and asks, "Dr. Jackson, the history texts say that some primitive Earthers built the pyramids. Somehow, that doesn't seem possible. Has anyone tried to provide a better explanation?"

Re: EGYPT

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

*He grins, looking up at her, nodding* Actually, I did. I offered the explanation that aliens from another planet built them. And I have proof, dammit!

Re: EGYPT

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

"I almost forgot. I brought coffee." *hands him a cup* "Could you tell us a bit more about your theory, maybe? That sounds fascinating." I believe you even without proof, Daniel. And when can I start calling you Daniel in public, anyway? *grins*

Re: EGYPT

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

*frowns*

You mean ones that are already empty?

*slouches and pouts*

Well what's the fun in that???

Re: EGYPT

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Vala. People are acting weird. Chi, Dru, whatshername up there is absolutely looped. Cam's doodles are moving on their own. Be careful tonight, if you go out. *looks worried* I want my weapons, damn it.

Re: EGYPT

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* No, I'm staying in tonight. People in this place are acting even weirder than normal. Got to hit the library for my business class, then trust me, I'm back safe in the dorms!
