The Library

[janet_fraiser]

Janet slides gracefully down the halls of Fandom High, surveying everyone she passes. She reaches the door to the library, flips the sign to open, and walks in.

Today Janet is wearing makeup. Janet has never once worn makeup and only occasionally painted her nails. Her finger and toe nails are painted a burnished copper, her lips are a dark red, and her eyes have been rimmed with green and copper eye shadow, and thick black eyeliner, almost like kohl. She is wearing sandals, a long, spreading russet orange skirt, and a midriff-baring black tank top that looks suspiciously like it might belong to Aeryn.

Oddly enough, she has no coffee on hand.

Geology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

Good morning. *glances over the class* I'm not sure what, if anything, happened this weekend but if any of your classmates has gone missing, please let me know. Coffee and snacks are near the back and please don't forget to sign the roll sheet.

In our study of geology, et the environment has had a controlling effect on the nature of rocks since Precambrian times. When we examine a rock, a number of characteristics tell us a great deal about the way the rock was formed, even if the rock is a million, a hundred million, or a billion years old. The texture of a rock and the boundaries between the grains of minerals contained in the rock give us key information about whether the rock is sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. Other clues tell us much about the parent rock, or magma from which the rock was created.

In this exercise you will be asked to select a rock from your campus area and write a short geologic history in which the origin of the rock and the environment of origin is described and supported by evidence found in the rock itself. You will also be asked to observe the rock's present-day environment and make some speculations about what type of rocks will be found there ten million years from today.

Pair up, take a handout, and complete the lab. You have two hours and no, you may not go into town during this time. I will be watching.

Ash's Art Appreciation, Lecture #1

[names-ash.livejournal.com]

::Ash sits, his feet propped up on his desk,awaiting his coffee::

Alright, sign the attendance sheet, sit down, and shut up! There will be time for discussion after the presentation.

::dims the lights, and starts up the slide projector::

Alright, we're gonna start with the most basic of concepts, knuckleheads.

::He clicks to the first slide. It merely reads "WHAT IS ART?" in big blue letters::

That's right, what is art? I'm sure you could find a definition in one of them dictionary thingies, but I'm just gonna show you, got it?

::Clicks to the next slide, "The Mona Lisa"::

Art!

::Clicks to the next slide, Warhol's "Campbell's Soup Can"::

Not art!

::Next slide, "The Birth of Venus"::

Art!

::this continues for a good hour, of Ash simply declaring famous paintings Art or Not Art::

Alright, that's the lecture for today. Now, talk amongst your pretty little selves, and don't be afraid to ask any questions.

Journalism Class - Monday October 3

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider is huddled over a large mug of something steaming, muttering darkly. He looks almost as if he's hung over, but with all the noise of the newsfeeds, he's not flinching, so perhaps it's something else.

The large screen behind his head has two words on it:

Beauty - Discuss

A smaller sign, tacked to his desk, reads:

Homework grading has been delayed. No homework this week.

Language classes -- Monday, Oct. 3

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Hello.

There will be a quiz in all classes today, consisting of 10 vocabulary and usage questions. You will also be asked to translate a brief passage.

I expect all students who have attended class regularly to do very well.

In addition, I am still updating my class rosters. Students who do not show up to at least one class before Friday will be dropped.

I am in my office this afternoon, should you have questions or concerns.

Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran) - #11

[abe-no-seimei.livejournal.com]

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

Those that have been paying attention, Seimei came into the classroom looking less than well rested, although the expression on his face has not changed, still one of guarded bemusement.

The Royal Library of Alexandria. What decree allowed it to acquire such a large amount of works for its collection and discuss current conspiracy theories around its ultimate demise.

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

The cafeteria is covered with trees. Trees, vines, dirt. It looks like a jungle in there. The Chef is in his Tarzan wear and Das Schnitzel is dressed as an exotic jungle queen. Occasionaly you can see a monkey or if you are lucky, a cheetah walking around the cafeteria.

A particulary large monkey steps in front of the Chef. He is brandishing a butcher knife.

Eh ha! Du nut try tu mess veet me-a yuoo munkey!

The Chef manages to knock the knife out of his hand but the monkey gets him in a half nelson. Das Schnitzel is cornered by two of the monkeys. But with some moves that could only have the background music of Missy Elliot's "Lose Control" she dispatches the both of them. She then goes to help the Chef but is too late. 12 monkeys (that's ironic) run out of the cafeteria doors.

Oh nu! Cume-a Des Schneetzel ve-a moost get zeem! Zee Cheeteh cun serfe-a zee fuud! Cume-a beck here-a yuoo munkeys! I cooght yuoo oonce-a I cun du it egeeen yuoo bununa ieteeng fartknockers!

The Chef runs out carrying a butchers knife and Das Schnitzel is holding a net and some bananas. She needs no weapon. Her body is already a monkey killing machine. She was in the peace corp in the seventies.

Study Hall -- Monday, October 3rd

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Monday's study hall.

I'll just be sitting at my desk, reading "Guns and Ammo".

Sociology 201: Criminology

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

It is exam day. Remember, exams constitute 30% of your final grade. Missing one will knock you down at least a letter grade. I hope your reviewed the first 25 questions of your study guide.

Take the exam

Once you have completed your exam, you are excused for the day, although the professor will be available for any questions you may have.

ASSIGNMENT FOR THURSDAY: Locate a person who is not a member of this class. Have them answer the following question.

Rate these crimes, from the man who deserves the greatest punishment, to the least:

• A rich man who kills another rich man for a large sum of money to provide more for his family (greed)
  
• A poor man who kills a rich man for a small sum of money to provide more for his family (perceived necessity)
  
• A man who kills another man because that man hurt a member of his family (retribution)
  
• A man who kills another man because he catches that man in bed with his wife (rage)
  
• A man who kills another man because they are from different sociological groups (prejudice)
  
• A man who kills another man for the enjoyment of killing (thrill)

Assume that all the men intended to kill their victims, understood their crimes, and there are no other mitigating factors. If the person you question believes they should all receive the same punishment (life in jail, execution, etc.) please ask them to rank them anyway if they would.

Report the results to the class on Thursday, and if you write additionally on your reactions to their answer you will receive extra credit.

Advanced Negotiations

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Sorry for my short absence last week. I was called to do some advanced negotiations of my own because Mace Windu parked in Chancellor Palpatine’s spot. Again.

So, as I have to catch up, let’s catch up on some real life events. The zombie attack of last month. Which methods did you feel worked best to thin the zombie horde. Which did you feel were least effective. What sort of preparedness would you have in case this happens again?

Lifestyle Course, Seminar

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Slartibartfast wanders down the corridor and into his classroom for the lifestyle seminar, and is somewhat surprised to see it still kitchen-shaped. He looks at his in-tray and sees no lifestyle essays whatsoever, and it takes him a few moments to realise that this is because he omitted to set an essay topic the previous week.

This calls for some quick thinking.

Ah, class, our topic this morning is all about thinking on your feet, adapting to circumstance, and making plans on the fly.
Please will each of you tell the group a little about how an ability to handle the unexpected can be an advantage for someone looking to have a really successful lifestyle.

He thinks he's got away with it. Just this once.

MacLeod shows up at the start of each session in a T shirt and shorts, ready to go and way too cheerful about it. Half hour of stretching and warm up, half hour of kickboxing aerobics at the fastest pace that the students can stand, 15 minute cool down, then weight room.

Quantum Physics 123: Monday 3 October

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor fairly BOUNCES into class this morning, wearing one of his typical brown pin-striped suits. He looks almost too cheerful, but is genuine.]

Hello all--please turn in your homework, synopsising last week's discussion. Mr Gaeta--your homework from last week is late, please get it to me as soon as possible. And has anyone found Mr Sark yet?

Today, we're going to discuss the possibility of inter-universal travel. Using the principles of quantum physics, we've determined that it is, in fact, possible to travel in time and space, but only within one's own universe.
So how do we explain the existence of a place such as this? [gestures around him to the school] How do we explain interactions with versions of ourselves that I don't REMEMBER with the mysterious 'dopplegaengers' about? That latter question seems to be on everyone's mind.

No homework for Wednesday. I just want a good discussion.

Cyborg Class

[replicarter.livejournal.com]

Hello, students. I hope you had a great weekend and got plenty of studying done.

After I call roll, I have a enchanting little pop quiz for you all to take.

The extra credit question is – Your entire consciousness has been transferred into a new body (could be a carbon-based one; synthetic human form; a robot of any shape; a toaster oven). How would you react and how would you view your 'self'?

Fencing club

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the second meeting of the Fencing Club. I may be in and out much of tonight, as I must spend some time with the rest of the School Beautification Committee, as well as some other prior commitments. Mainly brooding in my room. Edward may or may not be here, depending on where he is today. Feel free to go ahead and start without us.

Also, I feel I should clarify that you are more than welcome to train in any style of swordfighting you like so long as your sword has been blunted to be non-lethal. However, should you require instruction, I will only be able to aid you in fencing. If you'd like to learn a different style, you'll have to ask someone else.

Protective gear is by the "pyramid" set-up, extra equipment is by the wall. Duel your hearts out.

Monday Afternoon

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She sat in the lounge, through the free period. Waiting for everyone to leave so she could have a moment of blissful, hungover silence took forever.

Finally she walked out, making her way back to her classroom to collect her things.

Without warning, something struck her...hard...in the backs of the knees. Instantly she fell to the floor, cracking her head and passing out. Before her eyes shut she caught a glimpse of...blond hair?....

An Announcement

Student Council Elections will be held in fandomhigh on Monday, October 10th. That is all.

Soc 310: Death and Dying

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Welcome to class everyone. I don't believe I was clear last class, but your presentation on one society's burial customs will be due on Wednesday, not today.

An Introductory Lecture on Burial Customs

Discussion Question: Do you believe the remains of the dead should be considered unclean?



[OOC: I am a dolt and forgot this posts on Mondays, hence it being so late. Please, slow-play as much as you want, or just drive-by with a "I'm here" comment. Sorry!]

Class 6

[jareth-the-king.livejournal.com]

Jareth strides into class wearing riding boots and even more glitter than usual. He might, in fact, be wearing lipstick, but it's hard to tell around the glare of the glitter.

"I'm busy seducing someone seducing someone and watching her fail at my Labyrinth and that obviously takes precedence over classes. "

[ooc: I'm reducing class to Wednesdays until I become less busy]

"We're having a field trip on Wednesday so that I can watch the girl fail the Labyrinth and teach at the same time. This requires permission slips from you all.

"I'm not sure who your guardians are, and I don't care very deeply, but you should have permission from someone to go into my Labyrinth, since it is not very tame. [ooc: don't know the policy on fieldtrips, am awaiting the prinicpal's reply]

"And because I'm generous and Homecoming is approaching, you may ask me questions about the art of seduction before I go back to employ it. Perhaps we can reduce the desperation that is permiating the hallways as you and your fellow students search for dates."

Science Club

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

[ooc: lisacuddy just reminded me that I technically now am in charge of Science Club. So, here goes!]

Ahem! Allow me to introduce myself! I am Jonathan Crane, Psychology nerd extraordinare. I'm taking over for lisacuddy, who had to step down for whatever reason. Since I'm new at this whole being head of club thing, I thought I'd start with something simple. Like lighting a strip of magnesium on fire and seeing what happens.

So, everyone, take a strip of magnesium and be very careful with the Bunsen Burner. And please, don't hold the Magesium with your bare hands, use a pair of tongs.

Once you've finished embracing your inner pyromaniac, please fill out the suggestion forms located over there *he points to a stack of blank forms.*

Just put your name and what you'd like to do in Science Club.

The Library, Monday Night

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor rushes into the library, an unconscious CJ in his arms, and gently sets her on one of the couches. It fortunately, has been cleared of zombie goo.]

[Unfortunately, he can't seem to find any ice, which is the only remedy he can think of for a concussion at the moment. So he grabs a coffee cup off the circulation desk, fills it with water, and pours it on her face, trying to wake her up.]

((Pinging CJ and Methos.))
