Geology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

Good morning. I'm not feeling particularly creative today, so I have elected to bore you. *a pleasant smile* Coffee and doughnuts are in the back next to the roll sheet.

Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary or igneous rocks that have been altered by heat and/or pressure. As they are derived from previously existing igneous, sedimentary or even metamorphic rock, their appearance is variable. They are identified by the types of minerals they contain and their texture. Thermally metamorphosed rocks occur bordering igneous intrusions, which altered the surrounding rock originally because of their intense hear, resulting also in the formation of new minerals such as andalusite and garnet. Regionally metamorphosed rocks occur in the roots of mountain ranges, where intense pressures and high temperatures formed platy minerals (e.g. mica) and high-pressure minerals (e.g. staurolite).

In today's lab, you will be listing the individual properties of each sample I'm placing before you. And excellent job on Monday's assignment--these rocks will probably look quite familiar.

Morning yourself.

What have we got?

*settles in to do lab*

Edward wanders in, signs the roll sheet, and promptly falls asleep on the desk.

*right by his ear* You have thirty seconds to wake up, get a cup of coffee and work on the lab before I assign you detention.

*blearily* What? Coffee? There's coffee?

Really?

I always keep it near the back, Edward. *brings over a cup* My classroom isn't for sleeping.

Draco comes in and helps himself to coffee and doughnuts after signing the rolls sheet. Draco groans when he reads the assignment. He decides he doesn't like it when Ms. Sidle is feeling creative.

Rory is inwardly thrilled with the assignment.

Rote work - I don't have to talk to anyone, and I can just do it and leave. Easy.

She takes a seat by Draco and starts working, occasionally running a hand over the bandage on her forehead.

Maia walks by the classroom on her way to see Grissom. She stands for a moment and see Sara lecturing. Relief flooding all over her. she's ok, she's there. Maia forced the images away terrified she would be sick again from them. She watched Sara until her heart stopped pounding so hard. she is right in front of me. she's ok Maia kept this in her head while she reassured herself with her eyes that Sara was alive and teaching.

Phoebe grabs a cup of coffee and signs the roll sheet. She is wearing her dark sunglasses and her face is pale.

She starts right in on the assignment.

Angela joins Phoebe at their table. "We can still talk if you want to," she says softly.

Thomasina arrives for her Geology lesson on time, signs her name to the roll sheet, takes a donut and settles in at the table where she had worked with Rose on Monday with her exercise book and pen and ink. She starts looking over the rocks, but decides to wait a bit longer to do anything about them in hopes that Rose will come to class again today.

Rose wanders into class, finds Thomasina, and sits beside her. "Ready to look at more rocks?"

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

That is what we are here to do, one would suppose. Though, of course, there are other things I would prefer to be doing.

Thomasina smiles at Rose, then, to show that while looking at rocks hardly counts as her favorite activity, it isn't the company she objects to.

[aroseintime.livejournal.com]

"Oh, agreed. Looking at rocks is not one of my favorite activities, either," Rose said with a laugh.

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

Shall we get it over with, then? I imagine we'll be allowed to leave, after. And go do something far more enjoyable.

Thomasina's smile brightens at the thought. She doesn't expect to ever not want to spend more time with her equations.

[aroseintime.livejournal.com]

Rose smiled. "Getting it over with? Sounds like a brilliant plan."

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

Thomasina reaches for the grouping of stones on the table and picks up a few of them, turning them over in her hand.

Well, let's do it, then. At least it shouldn't be a difficult assignment . . .

[OOC: Sorry for disappearing. Other stuff intervened. Also, can remember next to nothing about rock clasification.]

[aroseintime.livejournal.com]

Rose nods, peering at the rocks.

[OOC: I'm right there with you. ;)]

Connor signs in and sits down to work on the assignment, occassionally looking up, checking for Sawyer. Another absentee lab partner would not amuse him. At all.
