Art Appreciation Test Announcement

[names-ash.livejournal.com]

*P.A. crackles to life*

Attention All Art Students! There is now a TAKE HOME TEST in a tray outside my office. You will fill out said test and return it to me by Monday's lecture, got it screwheads?

That is all.

Morning Announcements

[spyprincipal.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, students. Here are you announcements for November 2, 2005..."

There is a pause.

"There is nothing to say right now. Have a good day."

Geology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

*There are no snacks or coffee available this morning. Odd, that.*

Please don't forget to sign the roll sheet.

Today, we will begin discussing crustal deformation.

I refer you to the first figure in your handouts. The topographic map illustrated in Figure 10l-1 suggests that the Earth's surface has been deformed. This deformation is the result of forces that are strong enough to move ocean sediments to an eleveation many thousands meters above sea level. In previous lectures, we have discovered that this displacement of rock can be caused by tectonic plate movement and subduction, volcanic activity, and intrusive igneous activity.

Deformation of rock involves changes in the shape and/or volume of these substances. Changes in shape and volume occur when stress and strain causes rock to buckle and fracture or crumple into folds. A fold can be defined as a bend in rock that is the response to compressional forces. Folds are most visible in rocks that contain layering. For plastic deformation of rock to occur a number of conditions must be met, including:

*The rock material must have the ability to deform under pressure and heat.
*The higher the temperature of the rock the more plastic it becomes.
*Pressure must not exceed the internal strength of the rock. If it does, fracturing occurs.
*Deformation must be applied slowly.

Ash's Art Appreciation, Studio Session #14

[names-ash.livejournal.com]

*Ash sits at his desk, poking a small stuffed animal puppy with his pen every few minutes, as if he were afraid it might spring to life or explode or something*

*While he remains fixated on the stuffed animal, the classroom has been laid out with easels, paints, and brushes, and the instructions are on the chalkboard as usual*

"Do not forget about THE TEST. Today, paint something. Without using your hands, please."

Language Classes, 11/02

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

I ... have nothing to say, today.

You may use this class as a study hall, or review your vocabulary worksheets.

I am here, should you wish to talk to me, though I doubt I will be much use.

Study Hall -- Wednesday, November 2nd

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Sarah's at the front desk, staring blankly as she leans over a notebook and clutches her head. Her mind seems to be elsewhere, and it's probably a bad idea to talk to her.

The puppies are back, sleeping in the basket in front of the desk and available for people to cuddle for comfort.

Death and Dying and Deviance (11/2)

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Death and Dying

Please sit down and we will begin our midterm exam. As you may remember, I want you to analyze a Darwin Awards Winner or Honorable Mention. Please drop off your one allowed note card so that I may review them when you leave.

You have no homework for the weekend.

Sociology of Deviance

Discussion: Last week I asked you to find an example of positive deviance. Please name your example, and explain why you chose it.

Your midterm exam will be next week. Here is a study guide for you to review.

I have assigned you study partners:
notsouledyet / addams_daughter
other_logan / suzotchka / demonbelthazor


ALL CLASSES:
The following students will get detention this week if they don't show up today, as they missed two in a row. Add/Drop has occurred, so unless your character can come up with a realistic excuse as to why they skipped, they are so getting detention. I'm arbitrary like that.
other_logan, demonbelthazor, actingltcrumpet, AND cyloninyourhead and sumeragi_13 if they are still in the game. Which... I have no idea.

The Library is open (11/2/2005)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker is trying to organize the books alphabetically, but keeps getting distracted by the ones which have photos of Bali, Tahiti, the Greek Isles, and Hawaii.

Quantum Physics 123: Wednesday 2 November

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor looks tired today. He drops his books on the desk, hard, then stands in front of the classroom.]

Today we're going to continue our discussion from Monday on paradox. [As he speaks, he moves back to the whiteboard, where he writes PARADOX in big black letters. Then he pulls out his desk chair in order to sit down.] We had some good questions the other day, so [he sits down] please keep this u--


((OOC: Further play is in comments. A guide to the behaviour of Gremlin!Ten is here.))

((EDIT: The Doctor's now at large somewhere in Fandom High. No new threads, please.))

Math Class for Wednesday, November 2 16:00-18:00

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Since Mr. Eppes is out sick today, he has asked me to take over class.

So...announcements for today:
* Murphy MacManus, please talk to me about getting the notes for previous classes.
* Lily, Alanna, Jack or Han if you could be kind enough to give him those notes, that'd be great.
* If Kitty Pryde misses this class, she has detention. Um, er. Yeah.
* If Archie Kennedy misses this class, and does not give a valid excuse by Sunday, he's kicked out of class.

I'll get the classes started with the assignments for the day.

Wednesday Afternoon

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

He'd been bitten and he was coming for her. Sonia told her that. Fear pushed the sadness to the far corner of her mind. She knew she'd be safe around other people...and if all else failed she was sure she could deal with him as she had Chip. Hopefully she wouldn't have to worry about it at all. Hopefully Rover would have found him but now and gotten him to the clinic.

She didn't really want to leave campus though. Campus was...well, safe wasn't the word. But surely safer than home.

She sat in her office with the door closed. Her cell phone on her desk, a cup of coffee, and a cold feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Creative Writing: Poetry, Lesson Two

In His Office, Wednesday Afternoon (not technically office hours)

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

[Although he's not technically holding office hours, Geoff is in his office today, working on materials for his next few classes. Which would probably be going better if he would stop staring out the window.]

Newspaper Crew Meeting: 16:00 FHS-20:00 FHS

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe sits in the Journalism classroom, using the last few quiet moments before everyone shows up to do some studying for her Criminology test. She might just be a little tense about it.

[I'm being dragged out to be social and have dinner with people, so feel free to talk amongst yourselves, and Chloe will respond to everyone when I get back.]

PA Announcement

[spyprincipal.livejournal.com]

"Students, faculty. I am unhappy to inform you that one of our students, Katherine Pryde, has been declared missing, presumed dead. Until we are able to determine further details, a curfew will be enforced in the dormitories. All students should be in the dorms by 10PM. Mayor Red is applying a similar curfew in Fandom Town.

"I am aware that many of you knew Ms. Pryde. Tomorrow, all morning classes will set aside some time for an open dialogue on the matter, giving all students and faculty a forum to talk about what they're..." he pauses. "...Feeling. I myself will be leading one in the Student Council meeting room for any who wish to join."

[OOC: Kitty will be making an OOC post letting everybody know what the heck is going on. I'm not running this plot, I'm just trying to keep it tidy]

Advanced Negotiations

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

"We're going to continue on with our discussion about slim odds. If everyone could get back with their groups."

Padme waits for the seats to shuffle about.

"If you were out last time, just sit with any group and they will fill you in. Now... I want your groups to come up with a solution to this:'

"You are in enemy territory. You don't know the layout of the land, it's your first time in thise location. You had not the chance to do research and frankly, your current situation is unintentional. You and your group are trying to make your way through to civilization, or at least what you hopes pass for it. Suddenly, you are surrounded. They are armed. You are not.'

"What do you do?"

Introduction to Anthropology

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel arrives late to the class, looking slightly shaken.

"Okay, today we're going to look at two unusual forms of marriage, both of which are no longer around: -( marriage amongst the Nayar of South India )

and ( cross-generational marriage amongst the Tiwi of Northern Australia. )

He looks around the classroom, his eyes touching on each of them in turn.

"No homework tonight, guys. I'll see you Friday."

A/V Technical Theatre Club Meeting: OPEN MIC NIGHT

[sonofaparrotman.livejournal.com]

The setup isn't fancy. The stage curtains are closed. There's a single microphone set up on the stage apron and a single spotlight trained on the curtain just behind it. At the back of the theatre are tables of refreshments: carafes of coffee and cocoa and mulled cider and hot water - and the tea bags and sugar and cream and lemon to go with, platters of cookies and brownies and meringues, bowls of chips and pretzels and candy, baskets of fruit. On the doors to the theatre are a pair of signs: a simple sign-up sheet for people who want to take part in the event and a large and colorful sign advertising its existance. There are a bunch more of these posted all around the school. Scooter stands just inside the door, waiting to greet people as they show up.

[OOC: This post will be open for play for at least the next 24 hours, even if it only covers four hours of Wednesday evening. Have fun, ok?]

Celtic Literature and Civilisation class for Wednesday

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Camulus is pacing back and forth in front of the class, looking distracted. When the students arrive, he begins to lecture. "Today we'll take a step back from the literature that we have been studying so you can gain an understanding of the landscape in which they are told. Most of the stories we are studying take place in Ireland, so that is where the focus of the class will be." He pulls down a map from a recently added roll hanging over the board. "The Irish word for province is 'coiceda', which means 'fifths'. However, there were only four provinces of Ireland. Tradition holds that there was originally a fifth province, located in the centre of the country, which was absorbed by one of the others, probably Mumu." He taps the map. "In the north is Ulaid, modern name Ulster. You'll recognise them as the focus of the Ulster Cycle of stories. In the south is Mumu, modern name Munster. Connacht in the west, which retains its name, and Lagin in the east, which became Leinster. The mythical fifth province was Mide, or the modern County Meath.

"Ulaid and Connacht were at war with each other, the most well-known story of this clash in the Tain Bo Cuailgne, or the Cattle Raid of Cooley. Ulaid's capitol was at Emain Macha and ruled by Conchobar or Conner. Its great hero was Cu Chulainn. Connacht's capitol was at Cruachu and its king was Ailill, and its queen was Medb, who is said to be the daughter of the king of Mide. She was at least a euphemised goddess and had a large role in the reign of the province. Mide itself is the province of the fey folk, the site of many of the burial mounds, and the home of Temuir, or Tara, seat of the high kings of Ireland."

[[Phoebe-mun, our conversation is continued in yesterday's thread.]]
