Professor Ted's Office Hours - Wednesday Morning (9-11am)

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

Ted was in his office. Van Halen was blasting from the speakers in the music room next door. Ted, however, was busy focusing on the dipping bird trying to drink out of his cup. As far as Ted was concerned, it was mesmerizing. The fascination with the bird was probably a combination of too much sugar, not enough sleep and being dropped on his head repeatedly as a baby.

The door was open for any students who needed to stop by.

Advanced Criminal Justice, Class #4, Period 1, 01.19.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Internet at work is good! Yays! Thanks on many levels to psycho_barbie for this class idea. Class Info Post.]

The lights were dimmed in The Tick's classroom today. A television was on. Popcorn had been made by a wee dragon and was readily available at the front of the class. The Tick and Lockheed were currently sitting at the back of the room, ready for a movie.

"Hello, class! Today is our last scheduled day discussing Bugs Bunny and the role of his cog in Justice. This class will be a bit different than the other discussions on Mr. Bunny, though."

"As it turns out, we may have been mistaken about Mr. Bunny's position in the Dartboard of Right. He isn't the Single 1. Nor is he Just off the Board. Nay, chums. He's not even the Bullseye! He is the Triple 20."

"And now, I have a short film for you to watch. It's only seven minutes long, so all will make sense shortly. Rory? If you could start the film?"

Rory hit play and a cartoon started. After the Merrie Melodies card, the title "Duck Amuck" came up on screen. For the next seven minutes, the class was treated to Daffy Duck being tormented by a mysterious animator. Finally, Mr. Bunny is revealed.

Chemistry (4th Period)

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

"Good morning. Please turned in the homework I assigned last time."

The Combined Gas Law is a combination of Boyle's and Charles' Laws. The Combined Gas Law describes the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature. For example, if the pressure increased, wither the volume would decrease or the temperature would increase.

The Combined Gas Law can be used to solve any Boyle's or Charles' Law problem. If one of the variables remains constant, disregard that variable by leaving it out of your equation or setting it to the same value on either side of the equals sign.

School Announcements, 1/19/06

[agent-principal.livejournal.com]

The P.A. crackles to life.

"I have nothing to announce, other than thanks to my video feed logs, Mister Bernadette, Mister Dornez, Miss Longstocking, and Mister Borkowski have been busted 'like a busted thing', as they say. I am currently deliberating as to an appropriate punishment for your behavior.

I just wanted you all to know that I know. I believe this is the time where you metaphorically quake in the proverbial boots.

There is nothing else to announce, other than the amount of fowl behavior in the dorms this morning is apalling. Thank you for your time, you may now go back to your lecture induced naps."

Das Schnitzel looks kind of sad after she heard the radio broadcast. With Camilla gone she has no one to drink schnapps with. The Chef couldn't handle his alcohol. The Chef puts his arm around Schnitzel.

The library is open, 1/19

[chasingangela]

Angela is behind the collections desk, iPod earphones in her ears, the Smiths playing loudly.

She'd probably hit the pause button if someone came in.

The notice asking Winifred Burkle to come in for a new card is still taped to the door.

Office Hour

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She's on the phone with Donna...no, not Angel or Jake...actually Donna. Grissom got her to missing Vegas and she's arranging a little vacation...

Foreign Lit, 1/19, Period 2

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

"Good morning. There is juice and tea at the front of the classroom, should any of you want them. Coffee gives children bad dreams."

"In any event, we will discuss Les Fleurs du Mal by Charles Baudelaire in class today. This volume is important in the symbolist and modernist movements, dealing as the poems do with themes relating to decadence and eroticism.

The initial publication of the book was arranged in five thematically segregated sections: Spleen et Idéal (Spleen and Ideal); Fleurs du Mal (Flowers of Evil); Révolte (Revolt); Le Vin (Wine); and La Mort (Death)

( Dream continues to lecture. )

Now, in the volume I gave you to work from, each poem is printed alongside several modern translations. I would like for you to pick one poem and discuss the differences among the translations, as well as which you feel is most accurate, should you read French.

On Tuesday, we will have a quiz to end our section on French literature."

Creature Languages, 1/19, Period 3

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream waits for most of the class to gather before beginning to speak.

"Hello. There is juice and tea at the front of class, should you want them.

One of the advantages of this class is that we can study some creatures who you would not have access to in the course of your normal lives. Today, the subject is dragons; specifically, Professor Tick's companion, Lockheed, who has graciously agreed to join us on Monday.

As some of you may know, Lockheed has origins in outer space, and looks like a cat-sized version of the dragons that lived in Europe and China in earlier centuries on some versions of Earth. He has purple skin, sharp claws and teeth, two small, curved horns protruding from the back of his head and wings that enable him to fly. He can breathe fire with extreme intensity and is a surprisingly formidable combatant for his size, having once destroyed a nest of Sidri hatchlings and at another time bested a fully armored medieval knight-in-training.

He is an empath, and therefore can understand questions posed to him. However, he rarely hears his own tongue in Fandom, though it is possible for humans to pronounce. The language of Dragon has a storied past; its most interesting feature is that, in truly formal Dragon, all words are spoken in rhyming couplets. However, that is not essential to its speech. I am handing out a vocabulary worksheet; please pair off and practice greeting each other and having simple conversations in Dragon. The rhyming is not necessary at this stage in your studies."

"For class on Monday, please show Lockheed the respect you would any other guest speaker by preparing a question to ask him in advance."

Student Council meeting [Lunch time]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh sat at his desk eating a sandwich and flipping through the Washington Post as he waited for the members of the Student Council to arrive.

He pointed to the sign-in sheet when they arrived. "Welcome to the new incarnation of the Student Council. I know most of you, but for those I don't, I'm Josh Lyman. I teach history, government, and politics now, but up until a few weeks ago, I was the deputy chief of staff for the Bartlet Administration. I'm here to tell you that actual politics bears a shockingly close resemblance to Student Council work--the only difference is the national government has more funding and we spend less time worrying about school spirit and pep rallies."

Josh swung his feet onto his desk. "Because there are twelve of you representing the various classes here, I want you all to have an equal say--but we do need one person to be more equal than others. Someone who wants to be in charge. Someone who, and this is very important, isn't me."

He rubbed his hands through his hair. "First order of business, then: who wants to be President?"

[OOC: slowplay will be our friend as to make sure all StuCo members in various timezones can play, too.]

Political Campaigning (Thursday, January 19, 4th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh put down the spreadsheets of electoral information about Montana when the first political campaigning student came into the classroom.

( Campaign strategy: Yeah, you want to win. )

He put his notes down. "Okay. Based on what you've learned about your candidates, I want you to come up with a very, very rough sketch of your campaign strategy. I'll be giving you hard numbers next week about who lives where and how they vote so you can see how close you were, but for today, start talking strategy. This'll also be your homework. I want a hard copy of your strategy--what your guy will talk about, and to who, that will get you the 50 percent plus one, due on my desk next Tuesday." He smiled. "Because as I've said, if it's not on paper, it doesn't exist."

Sex Cultures: 6th Period

"Aphrodite. Venus. Certainly not the first goddess of love and beauty, but perhaps the most famous. Her cults worshipped her with offerings of incense and the sacrifice of doves. She was celebrated during the festival called the Aphrodisiac, especially in Corinth where she was the patroness.

And of course, she has been captured by artists for centuries in their work, from the Ancient Geeks and later Romans, right through the present day."

Grissom then plays a slideshow for the class.

"While you are watching, I want you to select the depiction of Aphrodite that most appeals to you. Then I want you to share with the class why it was your favorite, but also, how you think where you are from affected your decision."

History of Medieval England - Thursday 6th Period: Discussion 2: Dark Ages Britain

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

All right. So we touched briefly on King Arthur of gloriously fake memory, Alfred the Great who actually lived, and Anglo-Saxon Britain. Now it's time to talk.

Your homework, which should sound familiar already is to select a topic from your readings and cut and paste give me at least 100 words. Ready, steady, go.

[[OOC: OCD threads are up, go ahead.]]

Business Classes - 1/19

[absolutesnark]

Piper is setting up the VCR as she waits for the other students to arrive. She might seem a bit gleeful because she is running classes today.

Business Law - First Period

"Unfortunately, Ms. Gilmore-Danes is not feeling well, so you're all stuck with the TA. That would be me.

She left a tape of The Apprentice to watch. Enjoy not having to do any work today."

******************************

Human Resource Management - Sixth Period

"Ms. Gilmore-Danes won't be in today because she isn't feeling well. So we're watching an episode of The Apprentice."


[ooc: As always, use the OCD threads!]

The Library - Investigator's Club Meeting (6:00 PM, 01/01/06)

[janet_fraiser]

OOC: The meeting is here. I accidentally posted it in my journal and I am not redoing my insanely OCD threads to get it over here. So, linkage. Sorry, and thanks, guys!

Psychology 101 (Thursday, 01/19/2006, 5th Period)

[romanywitch]

"Okay, guys, based on the handout from earlier this week, I want you guys to do two things. First, come up with a question you have on psychoanalysis from the handout. And second, give me one thing on the handout you'd like to learn more about."


OOC: This week is insane. Sorry. We'll be back to normal lecture-and-discussion next week. Also, since no one posted on the discussion thread for Monday, we'll just extend that and include it here. :) And I don't care if you copy/paste a line from the handout. Works?

OCD comments coming are up.

Introduction to Archaeology, Period 5

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel still looks pretty bad, and is still coughing and sneezing. But yet? It's a remarkable improvement over the last time they saw him.

"I trust that you completed the work I left you on Tuesday?" he says. "I'll take the homework you handed in then home tonight, and return it to you next weekend. Now, before I start on today's topic, have you got any questions about General Pitt-Rivers, or the history of archaeology? Or indeed, anything else we've already covered this semester."

"Today, we're going to be discussing site selection and site survey," he says. "As an example, we'll look at how it works in Alexandria, as that's just across the causeway from us.

( Hello, Lecture! )

Jung - Archetypes, Etc. (Thursday, 01/19/2006, 7th Period)

[romanywitch]

"Last time, we watched Star Wars IV: A New Hope Space Battles XII: A New Start," said Jenny. "There were a few archetypes in there. I heard a lot of you guys talking about wondering what the archetypes are, and that's what we're going to cover when I'm not posting class at 10 PM at night later. Let's start out with telling me what Jungian archetype you think each character was."


OOC: Yes, I normally write these the day of class and post them while I'm at work. Sadly, work was very busy today. I'm sorry. Next week, we'll be back to normal.

Also, the three characters we've had named so far are Dark Helmet (the villain, of course), Hanno (gosh, maybe Han) and Leanna (Leia, naturally). Go nuts with other names and plot points and stuff, guys. I'm keeping our pop culture thread/list updated on this, of course.

OCD threads coming are up.

Music 201 - 1/19/06 - Period 7 - Class #3

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

( Roster )

[OOC: Change to attendance policy. Both classes are open until Monday 6pm EST for commenting/participation.]

The music room was set up as it usually was, with food on the round table and Ted sitting at the front near the board. The food of the day was an assortment of tacos, burritos and other Mexican foods that are difficult to pronounce from Krazy Taco. [OOC: Bonus points if you know where that fictional store is from] There are, of course, Twinkies and cans of soda available too.

Once the students trickled in, Ted stood up and began to talk.

General Physical Conditioning

Mac has the basketball again. He also holds a slip of paper. "Okay, guys, now that we've gotten familiar with basketball..." He waggles the paper. "Free pizza for the winners, any toppings you want--that they have, that is."
