Journalism Class - Wednesday September 28

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Newsfeeds on, cat frolicking beneath the desks, Spider appears to be in a very good mood this morning. Good, verging on maniacal. "Today's class concerns the fine old art of 'Monstering'. Please note, this particular class may contain objectionable material, so the extra course materials have been placed elsewhere, under a friendslock and complete with warnings. That's two levels of warnings about my crass, illegal behavior. You may complain about the behavior, but not of not being warned of it."

Geology

*Sign taped outside the class/lab door*

I've caught whatever's been going around. I know you're heartbroken, but I didn't think you'd appreciate cross contamination. Please take a handout and sign the roster--there will be a quiz next Monday.
-Ms. Sidle

*The handouts cover continental drift.*

Study Hall -- Wednesday, September 28th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Wednesday's study hall. I'm in a considerably better mood than yesterday, which mostly means none of you will be getting set on fire today. I reserve the right to threaten you with it, though. You have no fucking idea how entertaining the looks on your faces are when I do that.

*grins wickedly and takes a drag off her cigarette*

The announcements for today --

-- Biff is missing once again from the front of the teachers lounge. If somebody could find that stupid goddamn bear and drag it back, I'd appreciate it. (I won't be rettaching any limbs you might lose, though. That's your fucking problem, not mine.)

-- After the events of last weekend, I'm thinking of lifting the weapons ban. I'll be opening up a discussion section in the comments for those opposed and those for the weapons ban to hash out any differences they might have, any requests they might have for licensing or policing those who wish to carry their weapons, and any other problems they might wish to discuss.

-- Parents Weekend will take place on October 28th, 29th, and 30th. For the record, you may make one new RPG journal for whichever parent, guardian, relation, or mortal enemy you might wish to bring in for your character. These characters cannot already be enrolled in the school or exist in town, and if you can find someone not already involved in the game to play them just for that weekend, all the better. However, these characters will not be allowed posting access on FH or any related communities, they will only be allowed to comment in designated threads -- open houses for classes, the Halloween dance, etc. They're only here to visit for one weekend, folks -- they won't be hanging in the dorms or taking classes or anything. Also, teachers will be allowed to call parent/teacher conferences with any of their students they might wish to meet with (or any "parent" they might wish to interview ... *snerk*).

(OOC: Also, for the record, I'm not playing John Connor anymore -- I've passed him off to someone else. Now he can get a little more play, the poor antisocial bastard. :))

Cookery class is open once more

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Slartibartfast goes into his classroom, takes Zarniwoop's briefcase out of his locker, and places it carefully in the middle of the floor. He flips the catch open and flees into the corridor.

Inside the room, the kitchen assembles itself silently. Slartibartfast looks in. Everything seems to be okay.

Okay, the cookery lab is open for the next couple of days. Sorry it's a day late, but things have been rather hectic round here. As usual, I'll be around intermittently, but if I'm not here please feel free to help out your colleagues.

It's open for students, teachers and other staff, without a requirement to have previously registered.

He wanders down to the canteen to see if the chef can provide some chickens and a few assorted vegetables -- it'll make life easier when students turn up without any raw materials.

(no subject)

[http://users.livejournal.com/swedish_chef_/]

The Chef and Das Schnitzel walk into the cafeteria in what appears to be slow motion. The song "Sabotage" plays in the background. Both Chef and Das Schnitzel are wearing badass sunglasses. Das Schnitzel clucks to the tune of the song, the Beastie Boys being her favorite band.

"Ve-a ere-a sooch bedesses eren't ve-a Des Schneetzel? Keeng Kung eeen't gut nutheeng oon us!"

Das Schnitzel clucks in a way that says "Damn straight you crazy mofo."

OOC: Yes, throwing rolls are real. Thanksgiving tradition in my house. And I have the image of the Chef slow mo walking to Sabotage engraved in my mind.

Sociology 310 and 500 (9/28/2005)

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Death and Dying

Today's lecture on immortality, the symbolic and questions regarding real immortality. We will be discussing these topics for the next few class periods.

Discussion: What are your thoughts regarding immortality?

Assignment for next week: A short presenation on the burial customs of one culture. It may be your own, or one you are familiar with, or something that intrigues you.


Sociology of Deviance

First, please notify the professor of the deviant subculture you have chose to study in more depth.

Lecture on the History of Sexual Deviance During the Italian Middle Ages

Discussion: Do you believe that there are consensual (in which all parties are of age, and give clear free and willing consent) sexual acts that are deviant enough to be rightfully considered crimes?

Assignment: Begin your research, and bring in one discussion topic for class from your findings.



Anyone who makes fun of my hat gets detention.

Scooter Finishes the Last of the Bathroom Repairs

[sonofaparrotman.livejournal.com]

Partway through Wednesday afternoon, Scooter emerges from the last of the formerly-wrecked bathrooms on the first floor. He's covered in chips of porcelain and an almost artistic array of sucker marks and he looks like he never wants to see a wrench again, but, most importantly, he's finished; he's repaired all the damage he caused to the school bathooms during his personal zombie counteroffensive - and it's only taken him three-and-a-half days of almost constant effort. Of course, he still has the theatre to clean up and possibly an A/V club meeting to run, but for now he's going to spend some quality time getting to know the nearest wall. So he slumps and lets fall the wrench - which hits the tiled hall floor with a 'clunk' - and shuts his eyes against everything around him.

[OOC: He repaired the urgently needed bathrooms on Sunday, but there've been 'OUT OF ORDER' signs on various combinations of all the others ever since. Also, people may have seen him without knowing it at various points during the past several days, as most of the times he's been out in public recently, he's more closely resembled an animated pile of plumbing fixtures than anything else. That's all, really.]

Heading Off for the Firing Range

Shaken from his altercation in the Dorms, Wesley finally takes the opportunity to try out the campus firing range.

( If he can just get his mind off things for a bit... )

Fandom High Weapons Poll

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

[OOC: ATTN: This is non-binding, non-official (although some official types thought it might not be a bad idea), and just to see what's actually what out there in the school. Vala's name is only on it because we needed a paid account (I'm so weak!) to post from.

(Remember: principalconnor rules this place with her Scary Iron Fist Of Doom, so what she ultimately says is what actually goes.)

Please answer IN CHARACTER (As a FH issue it's locked to FH members, sorry Townies!) ]

ETA: Question two, where it reads "magic users", it should read "people with magical/superpowers/mutantpowers/etc."

ETA2: Any mis-votes can be fixed by just "re-voting". It will only count your last answers.

ETA3: Anything I (aka_vala) posted in comments below with the "FH ate my life" icon are OOC, and my mistake in spacing the fact that comments are IC. My bad, please ignore. :(

Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran) - #9

[abe-no-seimei.livejournal.com]

Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran)
Wednesday 1:00-3:00 pm

Seimei glided in and reclined peacefully, pleased the discussion of gun control on campus hasn't turned ugly. He waved his fan toward the wall scroll with the day's discussion question and drank his tea.

Who was the father of hermit monasticism in Egypt and what impacts did he have on the region pre AD 451?

“Your essays assigned on 19th are now due.” Seimei gestured to the corner of his table where they should be placed before the students leave the class.



((ooc: Just make comment that you did it or not for the essay due. No need to answer the question unless you have no life want to.))

Attn: Independent Study

[swerval_zero]

*Zero has been granted momentary access to the PA*

Our first meeting will be tomorrow night at seven. We will meet at the library and go from there. I was thinking we could investigate the forest, as I've heard several reports of walking, moving trees, but if anyone has a better suggestion, please let me know.

That is all.

No, no Rover, wait, I have a no-- *burst of static and feedback*

Quantum Physics 123: Wednesday 28 September

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[There is a vase with roses on one side of the Doctor's desk as he returns to the room with a cup of coffee. He looks rather pleased with himself.]

Last week's homework is due now, please. I already have it from Lady Jessica, Ms Cally, and Mr McCoy. The rest of you have no good excuses, including zombies. Those who do not have it will be marked down.

Today we're going to move into the practical, namely, the presence of time travel in our respective worlds. We're going to have a discussion on this topic in class, and your homework for Monday is to summarise your own home dimension's views on time travel--for example, whether or not it is possible in any form.

So, let's get started.

The Library

[janet_fraiser]

Enough of the library is clean that Janet can work without worrying about accidentally sitting in zombie goo.

However, she has a giant air freshener right next to her, because zombie stench sticks even worse than zombie goo, and is combing through a literature book while trying desperately not to breathe through her nose.

An Announcement in regards to Student Power Registration

[names-ash.livejournal.com]

::the School PA System echoes with feedback for a second::

Listen up, knuckleheads! Guess what? All of that whining about "Are we gonna have to register ourselves if we got powers" crap can officially end.

Every single one of you had your exact abilities written out in the file we got with your school registration. You are already registered, as a student. Nothing discriminatory about that. We love you even if you have blue toes, or can summon great wind from your nose, or... whatever it is you kids can actually do.

This has been an announcement on behalf of the "Coach Ash Really Hates Pointless Whining" foundation. You may now go back to your regularly scheduled hormonal angsting.

Screwheads.

::the feedback cuts back in for a second, and then the speakers are quiet again::

"New" Course: Art Appreciation

[names-ash.livejournal.com]

A-hem.

Announcing the newest course offering here at Fandom High, for those of you with classes that suddenly up and disappeared on you.

Ash's Art Appreciation.

That's right, I've been told I'm now an art teacher. Feel free to laugh your way to detention if you want to make something of it.

There will be weekly lectures Mondays, 9:30 - 11:30 AM.

There will be open artistic studio work those same times, Tuesday-Thursday. You need to attend studio work once a week, kids. That's all.

Those who were signed up for the former art classes have first dibs at registration.

We start next week. Be prepared.

Edit 1: Oh, that's right. I'm gonna need a TA. This is a position of great power and responsibility. I'm gonna need someone to go fetch me coffee, sort my papers, Get me my lunch, and possibly pose nude for the studio sessions. Sorry guys, this is very much a woman's job.

[ooc: Comment below to enroll.]
