[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Hello and welcome to the first Egyptian Archaeology course. Sign-ups are still open until next Wednesday, September 14th. We only have 5 people with a maximum of 15.

For your first class, I would like you to go around the room, introduce yourself. Tell us your name, your year, your major, where you live, and if you've visited Egypt, feel free to share that as well.

Because I didn't post a formal syllabus, I shall post it now.

Instructor: Daniel Jackson - Surrey 316, ext 7522. Office Hours: Tu, Th 9:00-11:00

Make-Up Policies: You are expected to attend each class, especially those with exams. Please see me if you are not going to be able to attend an exam, and we shall make the necessary accomodations.

Please arrive to class on time. Turn off any cell phones to avoid distractions. Please come to class prepared and having read the readings. All reading will be posted at my website, so check it each day to find out what your homework is.

It is quite all right, we're still accepting applicants. Come, take a seat, tell us about yourself.

I'm Edward Elric, and I'm quite interested in this Egypt place especially since I've read that alchemy originated from there, in some worlds....

My name is Faith, I'm a junior. Major? Shit, we were supposed to have majors.
Oh, and I'm from..well, Boston, originally. California, lately.

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Majors aren't required, at least I don't think they are. I suppose I should have worded it as subject of interest.

Oh my, how delightful, this sounds like an interesting subject.



*clears throat* ichihara yuuko desu. i'm a senior. *lifts eyebrows* i'm living in the dorms, in room...666...*cough*, and my major is taking advantage of people less clever than i business, with minors in philosophy and astrology. i've never personally been to egypt, but i've channelled plenty of egyptian monarchs through some of the artifacts in my shoppe, as it were...

*wanders in and looks around* ...Is it too late to join this class?

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Not at all, I'm still accepting applicants until next Wednesday.

*scoots in, only a moment or two late*

Hellooooooo, Dr. Jackson! *innocent look*

*notes other students, sighs*

Vala Mal Doran. I'm a Junior. I live in the dorms, but come from... uh... *looks at instructor* Colorado Springs, and lots of places actually.

And I just love seeing all the treasure they dig up from those tombs. Such pretty, pretty things...

This sounds like an intriguing class. Are you still accpeting new students? I would love to participate.

My name is Lisa. I'm a transfer student from New Jersey, where I attended a math and science high school that worked in conjuction with an area college. I'm not sure of my class rank because of questions as to how to transfer my credits, but I should be a junior.

I have never been to Egypt, although I plan on traveling abroad in college, and have always been fascinated by the area.

I'm Evelyn... and I was born and raised in Egypt.

time change?

Dr. Jackson, sir? I thought AN 110 was going to be offered MWF 12:40-2:00. Is it now MWF 10:10-11:00 instead? If that is the case, I'm afraid I will have to drop the course, as it conflicts with another. Please let me know which is the correct time, when you get a chance. Thanks!

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

My mistake, it is supposed to be 12:40-2:00. The original time was for another class and I forgot to change it.

Re: time change?

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

Well, if it's 12:40-2:00, I'm interested, too.

My name is John Connor, and I guess I'm interested because ... well, it has absolutely nothing to do with learning how to be a great world leader. Except it sort of does, if you look at it the right way.

Uh, forget I said that part about being a great world leader. Still accepting students?
