Professor Jerusalem looks old and cranky this morning - or as old and cranky as you can get at the ripe old age of 35. The cat is again playing beneath his desk, this time with something that it probably wouldn't pay to examine too closely.

The Professor is poking somewhat suspiciously at what looks like a perfectly ordinary sandwich.

On the screen behind him is the following message:

Announcement:

I don't want to talk about it. At all. I don't want to hear it, either. Foodstuffs of any kind and the shambling undead are both totally verboten subjects.

Instead, I want to hear about your thoughts as to the student elections - unrelated to the homework assignment. If you must gossip and chatter, let's stick to actual school business. Please.


ALSO: This professor has made it his life's work to make politicians live up to their promises or put them through an un-ending living Hell and will most likely be encouraging his students to do the same. Tomorrow we will discuss 'Monstering'. With inappropriate glee and possibly illustrations.

Political Hopefuls - Beware

Angela holds up one finger and begins scribbling a list of questions in her notebook. "Um, okay. I need your name, age, where you're from, what you're runnng for, why you're running, and ... I don't know, I guess something interesting about you?"

Beka blinks. "OK. One at a time.

Name: Rebeka Valentine, but I strongly suggest no one ever try calling me Rebeka. Just Beka.

Age: Is that really necessary? *whispers* 17 and a half.

From: 3500 years or so in your future. My home is primarily in the Andromeda galaxy...but I get around. And no, I don't mean it that way. Though that's probably true too.

Running for: Academic Affairs.

Why? This one's tougher. I never thought of myself as the sort of person who'd want to hold an elected office. In my world, the only people who do that are corrupt. But...

I kind of have this protective streak. If someone's in trouble, if I know them, I'll go to almost stupid lengths to help.

There are things that happen here, like the weapons ban, that worry me. Also, there are teachers who worry me. I'm not going to mention Camulus. I have good relationships with a lot of the teachers, and I want to use those to help make things better and safer for the students.

Will that do?"

Angela writes furiously for a moment, and then nods. "Yeah. I'll track you down if I, like, need anything else. Thank you for helping me."
