[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

( Roster )

There's soda, Twinkies and steaming pots of Chinese food on the table. The food is quite possibly straight from China. Who knows? Also present are cutlery, plates and chopsticks for those who are game enough to try.

The Library (02/03/06)

Janet opened up the library and sat quietly behind the Collections Desk, staring at studying her Western Civ notes.

School Announcements, 2/3/06

[stickittotheme.livejournal.com]

Dewey's voice echoes throughout the school as he speaks over the P.A. system.

"Okay kiddies, only one short announcement on this, the most sacred of school days, the Friday. But remember, unlike the Alice Cooper song, school is neither out for summer, nor is it out forever. So please, no stupid hazing rituals involving paddling and that stupid Affleck guy this weekend, m'kay?

Anyhoos, the one announcement is that Jaye Tyler has won the lottery. Yay Jaye, you have won... a trip to detention tommorow. Wow. That's kinda lame. I'm sorry Jaye. What a strange and randomly mean tradition. Huh.

So, that's it from me for today. I understand Logan Echolls is havin' a kickass, drug-free party tonight, so you should all go. And today's announcements were brought to you by the words 'the' and 'clash', and the immortal phrase 'London calling at the top of the dial. After all this, won't you give me a smile?'"

Dr. Pierson's Office Hours - Friday, 3 February

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Dr. Pierson is sitting at his desk in his office, a cup of tea (for a change) by his elbow. A stack of graded homework is on the corner of the desk (if you chose to pick it up, assign yourself a grade) and he's frowning at what looks like photocopies of a handwritten notebook. A spiral-bound notebook is next to the photocopy, and he's jotting things down in it as he works.

He is immensely interruptible.

Forensics (5th Period)

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon, everyone. Today we will be continuing our discussion on racial trends in forensics as well as touching on some other key components in investigating homicide. Also, if you're finished with your previous article critiques, please turn them in."

She passes around a new article. "Tell me what you think about this. Why are certain people considered 'disposable' in the eyes of others?"

She also lectures intensely on fiber analysis, fingerprinting, and ballistics.

"You will have an exam on Wednesday. I highly suggest you study. And for the rest of the period, we're going to watch an episode of Forensic Files to give you an idea of what's involved with this work."

Period 1: 08 - 08:50AM || Celtic Studies

[sensethevisions]

When the students make their way into class, they find Phoebe perched on the edge of Camulus' desk, swinging her legs back and forth. There's something much different about her, a mixture of hardness and sadness flowing through her, and her eyes are masked. On the black board behind her is written "NOT ALL TRIANGLES ARE FORMED ON PURPOSE OR EASILY BROKEN" in dark red chalk. Once everyone is in their seats, Phoebe looks at each one in turn...well almost each one.

"Professor Camulus has been detained by other responsibilities, so, I'll be teaching the class today. Now, you've been learning about the Celtic Languages and where they originated. Camulus has decreed that that means you will be having a quiz in Gaidhlig on Monday. Translating simple sentences and the polite phrases from Gaidhlig to English."

She stands up and starts passing out handouts to everyone in the class. "Today, we're going to be discussing different Celtic Fairy Tales and Myths. However, these won't just be any kind of myth. These are all going to have a theme in common. That theme? Acts and sacrifices committed in the rashness of strong emotions like anger, love, hate and passion and the repercussions they can have."

After making sure every student had a handout, she returns to the front of the classroom. "First, we have The Story of Deirdre and Naois. Keep in mind while reading this that not all reasons for doing things may fit your definition of logic or intelligence. After discussing this, I'd like everyone to think of times in their lives that they have seen someone make a stupid or rash decision in a high emotion. I give you the choice of either discussing it with the class or writing a 200-word essay to be turned in to me by the end of class."

US Government (Friday, February 3, 4th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"As promised, today we have our first test of the semester. I'm sure you're all thrilled. If you're not, well, fake it."

Josh stood up from his desk and passed out test papers.

( Test questions )

"Question or concerns that aren't 'what's the answer to number 4?' Ask away."

Speech Comm

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

301--3rd period

It's Friday...what have you learned?

Pop Quiz!

1. Describe, in detail, the S/M/R paradigm.

2. What is the difference between influence and manipulation, in your opinion?

3. Cialdini talks about the 'click, whirr' response. Give me one example that doesn't involve turkey chicks.

4. What do the 95 Theses of the Cluetrain Manifesto pertain to?

5. What do you think will happen to you in this class if you don't become more active communicators?

Student Council meeting (Lunch)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh put down his crossword puzzle when the Student Council arrived.

"Okay, we didn't get much accomplished last week. My political campaigning students are already tired of me saying this but if it's not on paper, it doesn't exist. So. Valentine's Day dance. It's been pointed out that that holiday," he made a face, "falls on a Tuesday this year. Does anyone have some kind of deeply felt belief that a dance on February 17th would be the worst thing ever? If you do, speak up now."

He looked down at his paper. "We also need to come up with finalized Spring Break trip dates. Classes are out March 6-10 with weekends on either side. How long would you like to be gone? And, um, where do you want to be going?"

He smiled at Isabel. "I like the idea of game night even if last weekend was bad because of, and I can't believe I'm saying this, snowmonsters. I'd say pick a night, toss up some posters and have fun."

He cleared his throat. "Our list of potential dances now includes prom, Arbor Day and something about square dancing that I'm really hoping you don't expect me to demonstrate because that's never going to happen."

Josh sat back down. "Old business, new business..." he waved his hand. "Whatever. Knock yourselves out."

Driver's Ed, Feb 3rd, Periods 1-2

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop is currently programmed to resemble a small movie theatre. There's popcorn and cans of Coke for students to take as they sign the attendance sheet.

"Today? Easy class. We're going to watch several educational films, and that's all."

Tommy turns down the lights and starts the first DVD.

Journalistic Integrity (Friday, February 3 - 3rd period)

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita glared at the class.

Not so much with the happy mood, no.

"Today? We discuss celebrity again. But not those who chose it - those who found fame by accident. How are they treated? Doesn't the public have as much right to information about them as well? Talk."

Journalism 101/201 (Friday, February 3 - 7th period)

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita looked very much as though, if she knew what they were, she would want a cigarette.

"All right. Easy today. I want you to take the subject of those nauseating poems, and write me a thirty word profile on it. If they even vaguely resemble the poetry, I'll destroy them and make you start again. This will be due the next time we meet. Questions?"

Mathematics: all classes: 1. period

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

Today's breakfast is pizza and pop and coffee.

Charlie is still working on his equations because the mun needs more sunlight, damnit.

Beginners

Intermediates
A rectangular sheet of paper is folded so that two diagonally opposite corners come together. If the crease formed is the same length as the longer side of the sheet, what is the ratio of the longer side of the sheet to the shorter side?

Advanced
Study String Theory.

Cultivation and Gardening [6th Period]

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

"You've had over two weeks with your plants, please bring them all up to me so I can grade you on your up keeping and plant growth. Obviously if you didn't take good care of your plant, it will die or it has already died. But, today you're going to get the chance to plant something new, something different to you or your culture."

Infront of each student is a pot, some fertilizer and a box of seeds ranging from every corner of this galaxy or the next.

Choose something that won't eat you.

Music 201 - 02/03/06 - Period 7 - Class #8

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

( Roster )

There was just the standard junk food today. No added extras. Ted is at the front of the room wearing a gas mask. Don't mind the heavy breathing and weird sounds. It's a side effect of what he's got.

"I've got, like, the Antarctic giraffe flu, dudes." Voo-ksh. "So keep back or the germs of doom'll come after you. More about Colonial music." Voo-ksh. "They like wailing and strings as well as their percussion. Wailing, strings and percussion. What's with that?" Voo-ksh. "Oh, and the Colonies can travel through space and stuff. I wonder what the acoustics are like on a space ship or a space suit." Voo-ksh. "Since there's no other noise in space, if you had music playing it'd be like really clear, so using stuff that echoes good like wailing and strings and drums in your music would totally add to the effect. So would electric guitars, but these dudes don't really use those." Voo-ksh.

Discussion: "If you were floating through space in a space suit until you ran out of air or burned up in a sun or hit a floating sperm whale, and you could only listen to one song or piece of music for the rest of your life because you're gonna die out there, what would you listen to? Totally feel free to argue with each other about whose choice is better." Voo-ksh.
