School Announcements, April 20

[overlord-zordon.livejournal.com]

Once again, the announcements are ridiculously prompt. Early, even. When the PA system switches on, squeaky rodent voices can be heard in the background exclaiming, "Arrrrrrrrrgh! Aaaaaaaaaaargh! 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286 2089986280348253421170679821480865132823! Avast, mateys!"

"Good morning." Zordon sounds disgusted, actually. "On this day in 1912, Fenway Park in Boston opened. It is still open. No, the Green Monster is not a literal monster."

"Actually, Zordon . . ."

"Shhhh, Alpha! Thanks to everyone who helped chase down errant plumbing yesterday. We believe the problem has been resolved, but there may still be a handful of rogue toilets hiding somewhere, so the handle-jiggling request remains in effect. In addition, we have an incursion of pirats today. Yes, pirats. If you encounter any eyepatch-wearing rodents who start rambling, do not be alarmed as they are only reciting to you the digits of pi. If any of them get carried away, a stealthy retreat would be the best course of action. Pi has, after all, been calculated past 1,200,000,000,000 decimal places and that will take a long time to recite. Thank you."

[OOC: Continuing "Raid Wiki For Info" Week! Also, I've finally updated the Class Info Post.]

"Hello, students! Today we're discussing two opposing models of Justice. But first, a reminder: there's only a week of classes left!"

Introduction to Archaeology, 5th Period

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel's standing at the front of the classroom, craddling his coffee and trying not to yawn too much. He has projecters and other stuff you theoretically might need (but probably won't) for your in-class presentations.

"Okay, guys, present to me," he says with as much enthusiasm as he can muster.



[[ooc: Going to be afk for most of the day. Family day trip. Woes. Kill me now?]]

Das Schnitzel was back in the kitchen today. She looked as though she still was tiffed at the Chef. Maybe it's because of the "I heart Fettucini Alfredo" shirt the Chef was wearing.

Political Campaigning (Thursday, April 20, 4th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh stopped his work on the Washington Post crossword puzzle as the class arrived. "Okay--last thing to talk about and then I'll let you break into groups and work on your final projects."

He pointed to the board where he had scrawled GOTV in huge letters. "Get out the vote," he said. "Because everything else you've done the rest of the campaign is absolutely pointless if they people you've convinced don't show up. By the time GOTV begins, you should know to the house where your voters live. You should know their names, if they need a babysitter for their kids to vote, if they need a ride to the polls. You should be able to print off a list of all of your voters and check them off as they go past your poll worker at their correct precincts. You should have absolutely nothing to do on Election Day but bug these people until your guy crosses their names off of the list. Call them. Knock on their doors. Do both at the same time. It's a fantastic system called 'knock and drag.' 'Have you voted yet? No? Let me give you a ride. Bring the kids, whatever.' Get. that. voter. to. the. polls."

Josh shrugged. "Otherwise it's game over. Every single vote counts--this has been made abundantly clear in recent years. The average winning Senate campaign raised and spent $6.5 million last cycle--it's stupid to waste that kind of money by not following through at the end."

Classics/Foreign Lit, 4-20, Period 2

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream half-smiled at the class as they came in, which from him should be counted as an infectious grin.

"Hello, students. Welcome to your very last class that will focus on new material. Next week, you will devote both days to preparing your final projects."

"For today, though, there is work to be done. Literature students, please select a poem by an African author and write a few sentences in reaction. Classics students, you are to read a biography of the great writer Horace, and react to any of his surviving poems."

Creature Languages, 4/20, Period 3

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream is still smiling as the Creature Languages students file in.

"Hello. We have a very special speaker today, someone who has been among you for the last four months. Please welcome Mr. Nielson and his human companion, Pippi Longstocking. You may ask him questions to practice your Squirrel Monkey vocabulary."

"Remember your final project proposals are due in one week."

Rory hurried in after ACJ, and took up her post behind the collections desk with her laptop.

Psych 101 & Jung (Thursday, 4/20/2006, 5th & 7th Periods)

[romanywitch]

"Prom is in two days. Finals are coming up soon. You guys all should have a pretty good idea of what your final projects are. So for the entire afternoon, you can either talk about or work on your projects, or talk about prom. In a psychological context, of course. Doesn't have to be positive either, not if you don't want it to be."

OOC: One post because I'm LAZY today! Please wait for the OCD. All right, OCD is done.

Business Classes

"Okay, gang, today is your last day to work on projects in class. I'm here if you have any questions. Tuesday we'll be reviewing for your final exams. Thursday projects are due and you'll need to give me a five minute handwavy presentation."



[for it is gorgeous today and i am lazy - no ocd, but please comment to establish presence!]

Arthurian Traditions (04/20)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

No, Camulus wasn't celebrating 4/20. Because class isn't ridiculously late today. Not at all. I resent the implication.

"The Victorian period of English literature," he began without preamble. "Another period during which the legend of Arthur returned with a vengeance. We'll be looking at the works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who wrote two important works. One, the short poem 'The Lady of Shalott', and two, the 12-book epic The Idylls of the King. I want them both read for Tuesday's class."

The rest of the lesson was spent with a short lecture on the life of Tennyson and *handwavey* other important Victorian works about King Arthur.

[[No, don't have to read all the Idylls. Sorry for late again, I'm just a doofus. Class will be open for interaction as long as you wish.]]
