Tuesday Morning - Announcements

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

"Good morning Fandom! It's me again, VP Pierce with all the latest and greatest from this wacky isle of wonders.

The balloon animals are gone and have been reported to the FEC for harassment.

Unfortunately, it seems that this week is full of tiny visitors. There are tiny trolls out and about with tiny clubs and tiny attitudes. I have no idea if they're 'weetiny' or just tiny, but be sure to keep on the look-out for them and avoid their attacks.


Have a fruitful and frantic day."


[OOC: The weetiny trolls will be around for the next few days.]

Week 9 -- November 8: Uranus, the tilted world

Syllabus | Class Roster

Handouts:
Starmaps: North | South | East | West | Overhead

"Good afternoon," Ellie said cheerfully, as the music of Holst's "Uranus - the Magician" played softly. "Your midterm projects are due today. You were to conduct an interview with a student from a planet other than Earth, and I'd like you to present a few facts you learned." She peered around the class. "For those of you who I'm sure have forgotten this, I can be convinced to give you an extension.

"I'll keep the lecture short so we can hear your presentations. Today we're going to learn about Uranus. ( Stop snickering. )

Ellie went on for a little while longer, then stopped. "Now, for those of you who are prepared, I'd like to hear a little bit about what you learned about life on other planets."

The Chef had forcibly put a tiny captain's hat on Das Schnitzel. If anyone mentioned this around her they will be tied to a coconut tree and be subjected to the natives. Which is light considering the punishment for calling her "Skipper" was to be tied to a coconut tree and listen to "Mr. Howell" talk about his money.

Today's Menu:

-Pizza

-Onion Rings

-Salad

-Chocolate Cake

Internet for Dummies, Wednesday 11/8, 3rd Period

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

There were several beakers on Abby's desk and she was pacing in front of them, her lab coat looking a little worse for wear.

"Morning, guys. I hope you enjoyed your week off and got lots of emailing done. Since next week we're going to be using chatrooms and instant messengers, we need to bone up on our netspeak." Abby gave a brief rundown of why internet slang was invented and then went to the board to write down a few of the basics. "You've got your BRB which means 'be right back' and your LOL which stands for laughing out loud. What are some of the ones you can think of?"

After the list was expanded, Abby nodded to the students. "Alright, I want you guys to write those down because you'll be using them next week in class. Now for a fun activity, we're going to have dramatic spam readings. You've had your email accounts long enough to get those weirdly poetic emails that don't make a lot of sense. But I think they're fun to read. Everyone who reads will get a chance to try one of my new Caf-Pow flavors; pumpkin spice or cranberry."

Abby waved a hand at the beakers and wrinkled her nose, so far none of them tasted good, but it's not as if it would hurt the kids.

American Political Campaigning [Wednesday, November 8, 1st period]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh came bounding into the classroom and threw his hands up over his head. "Victory is mine, victory is mine!" he crowed. "I drink from the keg of glory!"

He grinned and waved his hand at the food on his desk. "So I share with you the finest muffins and bagels in all the land."

He bounced around the room.

"Okay, today we were supposed to talk about putting together a political fundraiser, but I don't care about that right now. I want to talk about the House of Representatives and how we've probably taken back the Senate once Virginia learns how to count and just how smart the campaigns that were run were this go around." He grinned. "Or you could drink coffee, eat pastry and watch me gloat. I'm good with that, too."

US Government [Wednesday, November 8, 4th period]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh came bouncing into the classroom, ignoring the bunnies clinging to his pants legs. "Did you see it? Did you see the results?" he cried. "I drink from the keg of glory!" he said, throwing his hands up over his head, then looked around the room. "Which means that I'm not giving you a midterm today. It'll be next week instead."

He bounded over to the DVD player. "Today we learn about the glorious, wonderful, soon to be relevant again, thank God, Congress. And how a bill becomes a law."

Yes, Josh sang along with the video. He was giddy as a school girl today.

"So, that's how a bill supposedly becomes law." He laughed. "Generally, there's less singing."

( And then Josh babbled. )

He put his notes down. "Any questions? Confused about some of the vocab in the book? Filibusters? Wondering what a second-degree amendment is? Interested in hearing about a votorama?" He waved his hands at the pastries on his desk. "Want one of the finest muffins and bagels in all the land on this day when it is great to be a Democrat? Go for it."

World Religions, Wednesday, 2nd Period [11/8]

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally had pulled down a screen in front of the classroom, and was manning a projector in the back of the classroom.

"Mister Reverend Custer couldn't be here today," Cally said. "So he had me get some stuff for us to watch before he talks on Christianity next week. Don't forget to sign in, and try not to snore too loudly."

Cally then dimmed the lights and played two short features. Episodes of whatever the meta is for Moral Orel and Davey and Goliath.

It was a movie day, yay!

Hunting 101 - Class 9 (Wednesday period 7)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

John was leaning against his desk as the class filed in, listening with a faintly amused expression to Blair who was going on at length about something that seemed to require a lot of gesturing and a fair amount of bouncing. The sign up sheet was in its usual place and beside it were several handouts.

The more observant of the students may notice that there was also someone who looked remarkably like Seely Booth only wearing more black lurking in the shadows at the front of the room. Those that are observant and also know him would recognise this person as Angel.

( Good afternoon. )

[ooc: wait for ocds are up. Have at it!]

[The Gym, Cheerleading Practice, after classes]

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec rolled out the mats and turned on the music as he waited for everyone to show up. When everyone had, he turned down the sound a little to address the group.

"Okay, so Buffy couldn't pull herself out of bed or whatever, which means I'm stuck with actually doing my co-captain-ish duties," he said, not looking honestly very annoyed.

"She did tell me what she wants us all to do though, and it involves this crappy ass song and some dance moves -- we're focusing on working as a unit, getting timing down and hating the early nineties. I'm kind of glad I hadn't even been born yet, if this was what music sounded like then, really.

"First, take fifteen minutes to warm up and practice whatever you need," Alec said, turning the volume back up.

[ooc: wait for ocd! COME CHEER DAMN YOU. *cough* um, it's all 1ordinarygirl's fault. honest.]

Myth Into History, Week 9: The British Isles and Beyond [Thurs/1st Period, Danger Shop]

[drjcovington.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was programmed to look like a temple of some unidentifiable kind today, and Janice was sitting cross-legged atop the altar, smoking the cigar she'd lit off one of the candelabra nearby. "We're backtracking a little today," she told the class once everyone had arrived. "Today's class is going to cover some events from the Scrolls that happened before the assassination of Julius Caesar, during the time when Boadicea, or Boudicca, was leading the Celts' resistance against the Roman occupation."

Hopping off the altar, she gestured around the temple's interior. ( 'You're inside the temple of Dahak.' )

After class, she hung around for a bit then headed straight for her office to spend the rest of the day playing the new PlayStation 2 game she'd gotten working on future lesson plans.

[OOC:Syllabus and roster. OCD is up; class post, as always, will remain open through the weekend.]
