Driver's Ed, Jan 13th, Period 1-2

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

Tommy watches his students file in to the Danger Shop, which currently is set up to resemble a typical classroom, for the most part. He might look a little unnerved as he recalls how Wednesday's class went. At the front of the class, is ( this: )

The Dean's Announcements, January 13

[overlord-zordon.livejournal.com]

Because there needs to be some kind of distinct aural cue, the PA emits a low hum and then a pop as it turns on. Zordon's monotone echoes through the speakers.

"Will the following teenagers with attitude please pay attention?

John Crichton: you will report to the Command Center at some point today and explain to me what possessed you to think that leaving a large quantity of powerful magnets in a room full of sensitive computer equipment was in any way a good idea.

Samuel T. Anders and Archibald Kennedy: you will cease your ridiculous posturing and pseudo-aggressive behavior toward each other at once. There are spandex uniforms with stupid helmet visors in both your futures if you don't desist immediately. I've seen the feeds on the Viewing Globe. Don't think I didn't notice. Believe me, if I have to call you both into the Command Center to resolve this matter, I guarantee you that none of us will enjoy it.

Finally, all students are hereby requested to not waste Dean Zoe Washburn's time with non-faculty related issues as they are not within her purview. I trust you all have the common sense to make this distinction.

That will be all."

There is another pop, and a low hum that quickly fades out as the PA speakers die.

Celtic Studies (01/13)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

"Since you all seem to be utterly fascinated by the last few lessons," Camulus begins dryly, "I will keep today's short. We'll be continuing the theme of clans, but looking at the single question that you will inevitably be asked by anyone of Celtic descent - "có ris a bhuineas tu?" (ko reesh ah vinyuhs to) In other words, "who do you belong to?"" He looks down at some hastily scribbled notes. "It seems that in more modern times, the question is also a more specific, "where are you from?" leaning more towards where your people are from rather than you yourself. This is tied in with a very Celtic concept of the sloinneadh (sluhnyug), which is so Gaelic that the closest translation into English is the obscure word "patronymic". It is a more extended form of the 'mac' appelation, wherein a person could list their male ancestors. In these days, this list would probably go back only two, three, maybe four generations without research. In the days of the Celts, sloinneadh could be recited sometimes up to fifty generations, including any and all nicknames. My host, a man named Mochta Mor, could recite his sloinneadh back sixty-eight generations. But he was a bard, and never learned to read or write. It is the development of these "literacy" skills that began to limit memory and the ability to retain stories and tales, which we'll be looking at later."

He begins handing out a sheet with a number of Gaelic phrases on it. "We'll be beginning our brief look at the Gaelic language next week, so the sloinneadh is really just an introduction to that. Macbeth, I'm sure you can deliver a sloinneadh for us. But I won't put you on the spot, so I will demonstrate.

"A man's sloinneadh is stated the following way: Is mise Seumas 'ac Dhomhnaill 'ic Iain. (is misha Shaymus ak Ghow(n)wheel ik Ian). I am James son of Donald son of John. The 'ac and 'ic are elided forms of 'mac' and 'mhic', the subject and genitive cases of the word for 'son'. Any nicknames, such as 'Mor' - 'big' - or 'Dubh' (doo) - 'black' - are added after the name and similarily put into the genitive case.

"A woman's sloinneadh is slight different, as the word for 'daughter' is 'nighean' - slightly cumbersome. Instead, the sloinneadh is recited as Anna Sheumais Dhuibh (hamish guive) - Black James' Anna.

"If you have any questions, please ask them. We will be starting our study of Gaelic, as I said, next week and I will have worksheets and language tapes available for you then. Have a good weekend."

[[This lesson is mostly for the muns. Because I find sloinneadh fun. Mine, if anyone's interested, is Eilidh Dhomhnaill Bheig Dhomhnaill Mhoir Uilleim - William's Big Donnie's Little Donnie's Eilidh].]]

School Announcements, 1/13/06

[agent-principal.livejournal.com]

The P.A. crackles to life.

"I like Snickerdoodles, students. They are my favorite type of cookie. Now that you have learned a little more about me, here are today's announcements.

One, the gremlin exterminators are expected to arrive some time today, and be completed with their job sometime tommorow. So if you see three strange men in jumpsuits on campus, please treat them with respect and care.

Two, this ridiculous campaign for gremlin rights. They don't pay tuition, they don't help the administration, they are a menace. They're like a virus, breeding and multiplying and destroying all in their path. Your S.P.E.W. impression does not impress me, Hermione-Wannabes. They shall be destroyed unless they have enough of a brain that we could maybe power the school off a little Gremlin-Matrix. Then they get to live. Sort of.

Three, Congratulations, Barbossa, on winning the detention lottery. You will serve detention tommorow.

Four, Miss Veruca Rosemary Cally, Mister Samuel Throgmorten Anders, and Mister Kennedy. Please refrain from doing your impression of dwarfish battle rites in the common rooms. I assume you were merely doing a historical re-enaction of... *sounds of paper rustling* Koom Valley, and that the bread products involved were not actually of dwarfish make. Of course, as Mister Kennedy is not currently in a coma from suffering a blow to the head by the bagel, I must assume that is the case.

That is all for today. I wish you students a happy and disciplinary infraction free weekend."

Sociology Office Hours | January 13, 2006

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Grissom's actually sitting in the break area behind his office in the morning, with a rolling TV unit in front of him. He may be screening various dirrrty National Geographic specials purely for reasearch purposes.

He's also hanging out with his new spider that he's named Jerusalem, or just Jerry for short.

He then wonders if the spider likes the nickname, and thinks he could probably have one of the creature languages students try to translate and find out, and then his brain breaks into a thousand, itty bitty pieces, and instead he goes back to watching the dirrrrrty videos.

The Library (01/13/06)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet had never been a big believer in Friday the 13th being bad luck, but that was before she'd been woken up by Marty and Camilla moving into 239/240.

She fled to open the library before her third period class started.

On the small table of foodness, Charlie has placed cereals, five apples, milk, juice and coffee.

Charlie is standing by his desk, being indecently chirpy for being this hour of the morning. "Today I'd like you to visit this site: What's special about this number? or use your book and tell me what's special about your number."

Josh was leafing through an old copy of the Congressional Record (because he's a dork like that) when his government class arrived.

( Greeks, Romans, Magna Carta, Enlightenment )

"No homework tonight, but I want you to divide up into groups of two or three and discuss this question: Is direct democracy practical today? In a nation of almost 300 million people, is it possible to simultaneously gather all their opinions?"

Another Announcement, 1/13/06

[agent-principal.livejournal.com]

Sometime a bit after lunch, the P.A. crackles to life.

"Mister Bernadette? You will report to detention tommorow as punishment for your use of incindiary devices on school grounds.

Both Misters Bernadette and Dornez also appear to be funny, funny people. I would like the entirety of the student body to point and laugh at them the next time you see either of them.

Please feel free to be humorous with my office in the future. Except not."

Smith grumbles a bit before shutting off the microphone.

The streamers and banners are up. So are a zillion multi-colored helium balloons.

The floor is cleared, and the bandstand is up at the north side of the room, ready for Dusted Bunnies to take their places.

The refreshment table, with the (as yet) unspiked punch is in place. There are chips and stuff as well, Chex mix, a few nachos and some guacamole.

[OOC: More on the attendance policy. Because the classes are so close together, Thursday's class is only open for 24 hours for checking in and participation. Major discussions will be held on Friday's class. Friday's class will be open until Monday for participation. If you need longer due to RL issues, you'll have to contact me OOCly and let me know.]


This afternoon there is a big stash of jellybeans on the table. There is also a stack of hot, individually wrapped Big Kahuna burgers and cans of soda if anyone wants them. And, of course, there are the obligatory Twinkies. Ted would probably not notice if people who weren't in the class stopped by for a grab-and-run.
