Language Classes, Tuesday, Oct. 11

Dream stands before the blackboard, hands in the pockets of his jeans. He briskly disperses assignments as students file in.

Languages of Europe students: Visit this web page and do the exercise outlined. If your Spanish is insufficient to the task, you may do a similar task using movie ads in German, French or another European language of your choice, other than your own first language.

Cat students:Transform and explore the halls of this building. Report back at the end of class by writing a paragraph about one thing you observed which you have never noticed as a human.

[OOC: Classes in comment threads. I would love it if you actually did these assignments.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

*Zero walks into class as a human, signs in, and then transforms.

Before she took up a dye box, Zero was a perfectly normal yellow shorthaired tabby. After Parker's attempt on her hair, she was a perfectly normal yellow shorthaired tabby with tracings of violet. Something seems to have changed, because standing in front of Professor Dream now is a BRIGHT PINK kitty.*

Paige signs in and turn into a black cat, she's slightly worried someone will mistake for Sark so waits for Hank to arrive

[OOC: Excellent. I was just hoping people would do *something.* And Sheldon should get extra credit because he has to do it using talking software.]

Lisa signs in.

I researched the Spanish research for the film Terror en Amityville (http://www.cinemark.cl/pelicula_terror.htm). It is playing in Chile at the Cinemark Plaza La Serena, which is located at Av Alberto Solari 1400, at 19:50 - 22:00, and costs $2.600 for general admission. It is rated Mayores de 14.

Terror en Amityville stars Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George, Philip Baker Hall, Jimmy Bennett, and Jesse James. It is a horror movie.

Dream has seen many stranger things than pink cats, but not very many on Earth.

You're quite flourescent, Miss Hopeless-Savage, he says, in Cat.Say hello to my sister Delirium, should you see her.

Mew mreee prrr.

*translation: Of course, professor.*

*pads out of the classroom*

Rouge comes in and sits. "Well drat," she mutters. She struggles with the assignment; her written Spanish far inferior to her spoken. "Now, if you'd ask me to tell you a dirty joke," she adds under her breath.

::pads in, signs the roster, turns in homework from last week and transforms into a Russian Blue (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=bluemanoncampus&mode=full)::

::~~chases~~ saunters after Zero::

Mrr fft? ::ear flick::

*Translation: Want to explore the dorms together?*

Paige rubs again Hank slightly and purrs

Translation - can we do this homework together, I look a lot like Sark and I don't want people getting us confused!

::rubs back and sniffs Paige's nose, then turns and walks out::

*Translation: Sure. Follow me over (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/172680.html).*

::pads back in, still in cat form::

::after being transformed back, sits down and starts writing a short paragraph::

I never realized how much room (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/172680.html?thread=5792136#t5792136) there is in between the floors and inside the walls. There's a veritable maze that runs, unseen, throughout most buildings which the small and clever can utilize to travel undetected by most humans.

Also, the cafeteria kitchen reeks to the feline nose.

Michael comes in and is turned into a sleek black cat. After wandering the building for a while he retunrs and sits down to write his paragraph.

I found it most amazing to note how many sunny spots there were and how much my cat self simply wanted to curl up and lie in the warmth. I had never noticed how much natural light there actually is here. I also had difficulties with catching sight of my tail out of the corner of my eye and having the need to chase and subdue it.

Piper wanders in, signs in, and does the assignment.

Paige returns and quickly transforme=s back to her normal self.

Today I noticed how nice and inviting warm sunny spots are and how very interesting and entertaining specks of dusts are. I also met a cat that I had never noticed before who informed me of proper cat etiquette, so Hank and I will not be licking anymore!

Meeereee *tail flick* Yeah, sure. Let's go see who I can freak out.

*turns back into a girl and sits down at her desk to write*

I never noticed the holes near the baseboards before. They smell very strange. Not mouse-smells, but something-else-smells. My cat self does not like the smell very much, which leads me to believe they may be gremlin warrens.

Also, the sunbeams coming in through the dorm windows are very nice to stare at. Never noticed that before, either.

*Hamlet signs in and does the assignment, with only a few references to a dictionary*
